Buildy-uppy thread: Ire vs Scot

swiwi_

So the Scots have some injured calvary back.

Richie Gray
Fraser Brown
Zander Fagerson
Alex Dunbar
Darryl Marfo

John Hardie is back after his dalliance with Pepsi, as well as George Horne, Byron McGuigan, Lee Jones, and Magnus Bradbury.

What is up with the injured Irish players?

Nb: not considered due to injury - Tim Visser (blessing in disguise), Rob Harley - giving up the ginger advantage

Well that just makes me nervous now. PJs post about the 2 boys is looking more and more true.....

If the snow that's hit here overnight is headed towards Dublin it could make for a miserable enough match!

My bloody flight better be going ahead!!

Saturday's supposed to be very mild: 10-12 degrees with sunny spells and occasional showers.

First Thornleys line "presuming everyone else is fine and fit to go" and now the following from the Indo this morning:

"Johnny Sexton and Conor Murray will be cleared to play if they come through this morning's training session unscathed."

Normally I would read this kind of comment as being pretty innocuous and par for the course. But in the light of PJ's info it only heightens my anxiety. I cant help feeling that journalists like Thornley, O'Connor know something and are at pains to make these kind of equivocations and qualifying statements about fitness.

Hopefully its just paranoia.

Some lads seem very happy.

Sexton at training anyway. No sign of Earls yet.

Conan back with Leinster. So Jordi to bench.

No sign of Larmour or McFadden for Leinster either. One or both may be involved

Larmour is training with the Irish squad today.

i see an easy Irish win honestly. by 15 points or more

Scotland produce nothing off their own ball. Last week was the organised chaos they needed.
Schmidt floods the ruck and as Thornley remarked " the two man clear out is a non negotiable with joe".
They are rubbish away from home.
They played their cup final last week.
Murray flapping his arms for pens.
Wayne Barnes .

I find ireland boring but they have a plan and they all stick on task and do it well.

Scotland will always let you down.

So it's good news and bad news. Jonny's playing but won't be taking the kicks, Big Dev will. The bad news is nobody told him it was the wrong ball.

You misunderstand. That's his injury, he's completely stuck in that stance, he's actually not moving there at all.

Keith Barry is a genuine magician. He's taught Keith Earls how to levitate. :eek:

Ha I was wrong. Never happier

Sanjuro

Earls, Sexton and Murray all fit. The rest as expected. Dev and Ryan starting. Henderson, Murphy and Larmour bench.

PTH2009

very happy with that team

real test for Lamour if he comes on

Sanjuro

That's been the most stressful 16 hours of the year so far.

Interesting that Henderson benches, wonder is he fully fit. Ryan’s ascension has been extremley rapid in an Irish sense. Good team though, nice to have those selection choices.

Buer

Delighted with the team. We're going to put the squeeze on up front it appears and then have someone like Henderson to come in after 50 minutes and rip into them. Line out and mauls on the way.

Very happy with the bench changes.

Joe said that fitness was not an issue - Toner gives more balance, Henderson more impact off the bench in the final 20.

Akrasia

McFadden makes way for Lamour. Good call I think.

Dubinusa

Good selection. My nerves are frayed. Irish rugby takes years of your life

Yea but Schmidt is hardly going to say anything else is he?
