Thanks lad's, it was great having you....
Time to give fresh legs a good go at it in the last two games.

With the amount of strapping on Sextons leg it's no wonder he's pulling his kicks.

Big Stockdale also had a mare and whilst England were dominant they're no great shakes either.

It's a bit harsh lumping Sexton in with Murray. Sexton was very good against Scotland and Wales and poor against England. Murray was mediocre against Scotland, good against Wales and poor v England. And he's had countless poor performances in the last year. 8-8-4 vs 6-7-4 in terms of marks out of 10.

Time to go with Cooney and Sexton. And you're probably giving the kicking tee to Cooney.

Earls and Conway on the wings. Doris at 8 with Stander to 6. Leave POM off altogether for Italy to give Deegan a chance from the bench. Kilcoyne to start.

With Sexton though, I do think there'd be merit in both Leinster and Ireland turning him into a finisher. The last 20 minutes.

Jones had to apologise for his "If it were a cricket match we could have declared at half time comment"

Madness he was 100% right!!

This exactly but only if he can play without all that shíte on his leg.

I think it was madness making him captain as there's added pressure to start him.

Bad work not even informing the IRFU before that statement was put out.

So we are still letting flights land from affected regions but are recommending calling of the game.

We really are a bunch of imbeciles in this country sometimes  :o

I'd say commercial and air travel is of a higher priority than a glorified challenge match somehow.

I think the point is why call off the match if you're still going to let a few thousand Italians into the country that weekend anyway??!!

And anyway isn't all sport just a glorified challenge match??
