Agreed since the post seems designed to get a rise out of people.

Well, I'm picturing Kearney in a kilt so it's definitely getting a "rise" out of me.

IF you know what I mean

We can beat Scotland without Sexton and Earls.

Less confident in bonus point though.

If Rob Kearney gets picked I'll seriously consider buying a kilt.

I know handsome Rob gets people going, but I've never heard of it being so severe that loose fitting clothing was required!

That would be a huge kick in the balls. Both took full part in training yesterday though...

Where did that come from. Hope it's not true, really put us up against it. I have very little faith in Carberry. If Earls is out, surely it's not going to be ferg, for the love of god

Sorry, you said Ireland v Scotland, I assumed a hypothetical situation, Scenario A and B,
Didn't realise you were mixing up the Welsh match into it.

Earls has been doing loads of press this week and seemed very positive, would be a surprise if he was injured and still so upbeat.

Hopefully not true. But Carberry at 10 and McFadden on the wing wouldn't be the end of the world with McFadden possibly taking the pressure off his shoulders and taking over the kicking duties (when was the last time he kicked? he used to be excellent). Not sure I'd fancy Murray taking all the kicks, and haven't seen Carberry kick in a long time. Who'd be in the 23 shirt then? Larmour?

Carbery looked good kicking against Italy. It was zero pressure but his technique looked more fluid and he looked more relaxed. So between him, Murray, Ringrose and possibly McFadden we would have no shortage of decent kickers.

It's not Sexton's kicking we would miss the most it's his leadership, calmness and his defence

Oh yeah, Sexton and Earls would be huge looses both attacking and defending, both are in great form, just trying to see the glass half full the problem with having Murray, Carberry, Ringrose and McFadden as our kickers is that none of them are doing it week in week out

I heard Larmour is straight in.

If Conway is still not right I presume Larmour is the best option, would have liked to have seen Conway involved though.

mogwai81

I don't know why Ringrose isn't ahead of most (bar Sexton) when it comes to kicking. I thought he looked a better kicked then Ross Byrne during Leinster schools comp, so I was a bit surprised when Byrne was the kicked for the U20's. I know he kicked a bit for Ireland on the summer tour but I thought he would be higher up the pecking order with Leinster too. Maybe he doesn't enjoy the responsibility or is it just a case of the out half gets first refusal?

i wasnt. i was been a smart arse! u were right!
it should have read 2 from 5.

Edit: Oh God! If Sexton is out...just forget even hypothetical scenario re: BP win

Scotland could well explode saturday, last year they beat Wales before England thumped them

The Rape of Lucretia

Maybe they bumped heads. How often do we hear of HIA incidents in training ? Or can they only happen in matches ? Surely the risk is there, even if only a small percentage of all HIA absences ? Unless they cant happen unless there is a ref and or a TV camera on them.

I'd prefer larmour to ferg. Wtf happened with sexton and earls. For the love of God.

Gerry Thornley just published an article with probable team line-up. Sexton and Earls are in the team. Hopefully he is right! Henderson, Furlong and Ringrose in as expected

Relax lads, partyjungle had Adam Byrne on the bench v SA, and it was actually Sweetnam.

Would it not be more about Murphy's ability to cover more positions in the back row than Conan not having a stellar performance?

That logic if true would have applied last outing too. The lack of glory theory seem more cogent.

He did well against Italy and that earned him the bench spot against Wales. Himself and Ferg made a bollocks of defending for that Welsh try and I'd say they are on the naughty step to contemplate what they've done.

Kinsella has the same team as Thornley anyway.

I can confirm Sexton and Earls are out.

Sexton has recently taken up chess and showing his all-round talent has made it through to the final of the Rathmines Chess club, with first move scheduled for Saturday at 3 pm. Although Sexton is good, he's not that good, and it would be too much of a risk expecting checkmate by 3.15.

Earls, meanwhile, has recently become a Seventh-day Adventist.
