Not a great player. Seen the ball go through his hands too many times.

No idea how the conversation has gone this way. People are smoking very bizarre stuff these days. If we are closer to Warrenball it will be a massive, massive improvement over our attacking performance in Paris, which was dire.

There's no shame in employing tactics which favour possession over expansiveness, when it works. It didn't.

In blaming wine for the ****e I posted myself.

its going to be hard to win farrell porter james ryan stockdale and leavy are very green, and on the bench roux and mcfadden will offer very little. they actually show that our much spoke depth is nonsense.
we will not beat england so lose today and its mid table scenario.
given we are told the 6 nations is our bread and butter, lose today and the media will begin to crank up the pressure on schmidt. and as can be seen by his performance the last 2 weeks, schmidt dont handle media pressure too well.

schmidt needs a win today or the knives will be out.

This rubbish seems eerily familiar. Do you have a knife shop that you're trying to drum up business for?

I am also looking forward to the match and hope the team play well and win.

On your first point - all of the players are green. It’s kinda their uniform.

On your second point - you have clearly missed some of Fergs recent performances for Leinster.

On the rest of your post: :rolleyes:

dont be so defensive, i am sure ireland will win but then again what if they dont.
the pressure seems to be getting to quite a few here too.
as many have posted here, ireland are no 3 in the world, we have the greatest coach in modern rugby, we have the best 9 and 10 in the world.
How can we lose?
What if we lose?

If their pack won't give us the ball then our 9 and 10 might as well be Laurel and Hardy.

come on Ireland

let's stuff these red lads

if we are too lose , a lbp and an England loss would be ok, last day could end up being 2015 all over again (what a paddys day that would be)

Fads is an experienced international and would have some of the highest System Joe hours of anyone in the squad.

Do you just keep the knives line in your copy and paste window?

We have to win, a loss is going to be bad..not count dookoo bad.... but we shouldn't be losing to Wales at home if we realistically want to win the 6n

i never seen it so jittery on here, its going to be fun either way.

irishbucsfan

Thinking about what I want to see in the first 10 minutes. I’d like to see us send play into the Welsh half and keep it there. No overplaying leading to Welsh penalties, no mistakes from their exits, no sloppy set pieces, maybe even lots of extremely bad refereeing in our favour.

Don’t want to see any first phase Welsh ball in our half for the first 40 minutes please, thanks very much indeed.

I do enjoy your posts. They always make me chuckle. It's a shame we don't see as much from you when Ireland win.

I like the fact that you have ridiculously high standards. Unbeaten in 9 matches (I think) but one loss and Schmidt should fear for his job. As an ABs fan I agree with this sort of exacting standard. I expect the ABs to win every match and when they don't, the coaches should be tarred and feathered and the players flogged.

I do disagree with a couple of your points though. Barrett and Smith are the best 9 and 10 in the world. Hansen is the greatest coach in modern rugby. And Schmidt handles the media very well. It's the media who struggle with Schmidt.

count dookoo has succesfully predicted 225 of the last 4 Irish disastrous results.

Waiting on that bus I think. Taking an age.

The first score is vital for Ireland to settle the nerves.

I call it 50/50 but odds ever so slightly in Ireland's favour with home advantage
