Buildy-uppy thread: Ire vs Scot

swiwi_ · 2018-03-05 11:12:41

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…

Joe seems way more upbeat than the Welsh game team announcement.

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

I take everything Joe says with a massive pinch of salt, but he did say Henderson could have played against Wales but they didn't want to risk it; no risk this week.

McFadden makes way for Lamour. Good call I think.

I think you're both missing an apostrophe. :P

The only change I would make is to start Henderson but that’s nit picking. Good team.

I think Russell is primed to give away two incercept tries against this Irish defense.

Photos online of Sexton training as normal with the squad this morning as well as Earls so it doesn't look like there's any doubt over them at this point.

Joe's going to hold that trick until England. O'Mahony gets switched in the warm up with a resurgent Heaslip. It's been the long con ever since March last year.

Typical #ConservativeJoe. He selects Larmour ahead of more experienced options. He should be FIRED! Sad!

Hopefully their team hotel is subject to 'water restrictions', just in their rooms.

Very good side.

I feel Dan Leavy is on Russell duty. Along with Sexton.

Kearney aluded to it at the start of the 6 nations, but they let Russell play with zero pressure, he might as well have been playing touch.

This is where he is at his most dangerous. Put the serious squeeze on him and force him to make bad decision, Ryan POM and CJ making a mare of the ruck will help.

England were really naive to give him the freedom they did the last day.

I think it's possibly player management and trying to get the best out of him. We saw how he's been sometimes for Ulster this season with having no competition for his spot. We've seen him on the Lions trying earn a starting spot. I'm looking forward to Henderson fighting for his place.

Interesting one to be honest, I can remember Matt O'Conner naming Rob Kearney when the world and his mother knew he wouldn't be playing and I was quite annoyed by that.

If Schmidt is up to the same tricks I'd be equally annoyed but also really surprised. I think he has confidence in his team and would back Carbery publicly with a starting berth if Sexton was definitely out. I'd say at most Sexton is touch and go but still in the frame.

I can appreciate why you don't want to give Scotland time to pick apart weaknesses in Carbery's game but I think you also need to show confidence in your side. I'd consider it poor coaching if Joe named Sexton knowing he wouldn't start.

You’d give Sexton every chance of making it even if he was carrying a niggle. What 10 is getting held back from action this week? Is Keatley starting for Munster?

Could someone post the date and time of the public hanging drawing and quartering for the poster who suggested Sexton & Earls were out. Love me a good public execution. Helps kill the time before kick off. Thanks.

Yeah, Sexton is just one of those players in the team who is going to be given every single second up to kickoff to get match fit. I'd be betting that's what is going on here. Earls is probably at that same level right now too.

I hear he is off celebrating his ruse with a few mates in the woods.

Little part of me was looking forward to seeing how we'd do in a big game without Sexton.
