    I would imagine he's second from the left, but it's very hard to tell. Mad to think he is now playing alongside Healy.

    Yeah. According to The Indo, that's him with the flag, second from the left in front of molloyjh's dad. :D.

    Don't be silly. Cian Healy was only a pup in that photo.

    Molloy's dad is Chris Whitaker.

    Apparently Jordan Larmour is one of the kids in the guard of honour for Leinster in a match in 2009 against Edinburgh. Can't pick him out from this photo, anyone else want to hazard a guess?

    ?width=630&version=3843069

    Not sure which kid is Larmour but Healy has his game face on for sure:

    The 42 live is well worth a watch. People were talking about Darren Cave on the Left Wing, but Stephen Ferris is brilliant on this. Hilarious stuff and some really great iinsights into Irish and Ulster rugby. Also Murray Kinsella of course.

    I'd have said the same until I saw this. Clearly he's a bit constrained on the BBC. :D

    Yeah. This is what I meant when I said he was a lot less constrained than when he's on the BBC. Also interesting on pretty much any subject he spoke on: Declan Kidney, Paul O'Connell, Joe Schmidt, Les Kiss, Logan (listen up awec ;)) and finally Donnacha O'Callaghan banging his head against lockers. :D

    We need a good win here...bonus point...big performance from Larmour would be nice, no major injuries and maybe carberry ontge field at the same time as sexton to see if they gel and can interchange

    Rain is due to clear this morning and to be dry and bright with more rain coming from the west in the late afternoon. So that looks like it'll be dry and windy for the game.

    Currently dry and sunny in the city center but windy. If it stays like this it would be good for running rugby.

    You have been around here long enough to know that’s not true, Stockdale comes to mind instantly.

    There was a few at fault for the try against France... doesn't mean one collective mistake will get the guy crucified... regular posters normally see the difference.

    Great OP.

    That drop goal still gets my hair standing on ends.

    Even better without the commentary.

    I mean he did get crucified for a mistake that wasn’t solely his and some of it was by regular posters. I don’t think Larmour would get a free pass on here if he plays badly. Don’t think it will happen, he’s clearly a very focused guy and has made every step up with ease so far, though he may play a more conservative game than some would wish, a la Montpelier.

    I shall miss this game as I am giving away a bride at 3pm (not a daughter, an aunt, so I might be able to catch the first half).

    Here's to a better performance!

    If you're giving her away just stick her on done deal and get somebody else to do it
