I assume James Ryan is on the bench. It's a bit of a surprise if Dillane jumps in to start.

I assume he isn't. Didn't train on Tuesday and if fit I can't see him not in the starting line up.

Connachta is French isn't he? He's probably in a nuclear shelter on the Arran Islands for the next six years.

Is he? That explains it all. TOH is french slang for hug, he just really wants to hug Rob Kearney...!

Healy, Tracy and Luke McGrath on the bench apparently. No word on the rest.

Healy, who? and Luke McGrath...?

Would have presumed jjTrayTrayzee would have made the bench this week.

His sentence construction is very French. But the big giveaway was spelling Fiji as Fidji.

If Porter is starting, you'd assume Ryan is gone, so Bent will bench.

Then Treadwell/James Ryan, Sean Reidy, L McGrath, Keatley and A Byrne to fill it out.

Is James Ryan hurt? Maybe he's rested this week, and will start against Arg?

Yes, himself and Kilcoyne suffered knocks and were to prove their fitness today, perhaps both are out now.

to properly evaluate something you need to set the proper performance metrics.
For example I believe for 2018 to be a successful year for Joe schmidt a championship win and a tour win in Australia are minimum requirements.
I would like every poster here to post what they honestly believe would make a successful year for Schmidt, the key word being successful.
Basically Ireland should achieve X and if they dont meet those markers its a failure.

Would guess:
McGrath, Herring, Porter,
Ruddock, Dillane, Toner, Murphy,
Conan,
Marmion, Carbery,
D Kearney, McCloskey, Aki/Farrell, Sweetnam,
Conway

Bench:
Tracy, Healy, Bent, Treadwell, Reidy, McGrath, Keatley, Byrne.

That's what I thought too.

I believe both John Ryan and James Ryan are carrying knocks, John Ryan went back to Munster but should be available again next week I believe.

No apparently James Ryan too. Can’t remember now where I read that, but def did. Was thinking the guy can’t seem to play without picking something up.

That team would do well to overcome the 27 point spread
Although I'm sure JoeyC will nail each of his goal kicks....again!
The 2 kicks last week were sweet strikes
