    One scrum against a tight head playing loose?

    Heinke van der Merwe is a tighthead? Pull the other one.

    He wasn't scrummaging against a Tighthead, he was scrummaging against Heinke VDM, an out and out Loosie and an excellent one at that.

    If Trimble is going to shoot out of the line he should at least have a firm idea of what he's going to do.

    Might be showing my Leinster bias but imo Fitzgerald is having a good game.

    couldn't identify the number of the England player, yet he's the only one wearing a blue scrumcap...

    Nah, he's doing well. Would like to see us hold the ball a bit more, see what we can do in a running game.

    I mean questions must be asked of Michael Bent and to a lesser extent Kilcoyne.

    Penalty try coming up here

    Coughlan is an out & out 8. I don't see anyone saying Heaslip has to be more flexible.
    Exactly, Heaslip is starting.

    Coughlin won't beat Heaslip out for the No. 8 spot.

    Therefor, his best bet would be a bench spot.

    What I was saying is, to get in the 23 man squad, he'd need to be a more flexible backrower, which he's not.

    I'd love him to be on the bench, but he wont be.

    Another scrum :eek:

    Fitzpatrick has to come in? Maybe Court too? Hard to know how Kilcoyne is doing, which is the thing I'm interested in.....if he can't scrummage, he can't really be on the bench.

    Michael Bent is getting murdered out there. How the hell did he get drafted into te Irish squad and prevented young Irish players getting their chance.

    It's disgraceful really

    Lads is anyone else of the opinion that Bent is getting hammered in the scrum? ;)

    Don't think I've ever heard RTE commentators be so negative about a player as they've just been about Bent

    Would Hagan or Archer have fared much better? :confused:

    Tony W. isn't going easy on Bent, he is being shown up here though, doesn't seem to be getting much support behind him though.

    BTW, although I'd love to see Coughlan play for Ireland, he's 32 and we have a load of backrowers younger than him, would expect him to get a couple of caps in the summer though.
