All 3 major provinces look poorly coached added to the injuries you can't expect much more than they've done. Look what the players achieved under a decent coach in November. In fairness we still have all 4 provinces in the top 6 in the league. Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

Tahs were out running hills in Coogee this morning. Must agree with Lee they look in great shape, although compared with a subbies team trying to do the same thing it's little surprise. Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

Pray for that Ulster pack they are going to get eaten alive regardless of whether Toulon have a flu throughout their team or not. Murrays injury pretty much kills Munsters chances. If they won nothing would come close to the epicness of that victory. Leinster looks like a decent selection...

Foley seemed bemused as to why he left doesn't look well on his man management skills. He'll be a loss for Munster but given the coin on offer it wasn't a surprise that he look the queens shilling. It will be interesting to see if he turns out to be Jeremy Staunton or return home in a couple of...

MOC seems to be digging his own grave. How anyone could think Boss is a top level scrum half any more is beyond me. Feel a bit sorry for Gopperth at this stage, he is in terrible form, the fans are frustrated and it looks like he just needs a break. Also having seen Sam Burgress' introduction...

Didn't make it difficult to guess, whoever is in charge (what a phrase for Subbies), needs to realise that you don't need to take the first offer that comes along. All clubs will suffer for it.

GAA players have been getting a bit of "stick" in the press recently for being too professional. Some of the coaches are calling on them to go on the piss more. I really don't know how the top players make the sacrifices but hats off to them I have nothing but respect, even if my county has 100+...

It would be great if we won the bid, however we'll face some stiff competition from Italy, South Africa and Argentina. I don't have a problem with using GAA stadia in fact, imagine the boost the game could get from say the All Blacks playing in Casement Park in West Belfast? Could be a great way...

Subbies have apparently sold the sponsorship to this years comp to a certain cider for less than a division 4 club is getting from said beverage Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

If you blokes win by more than 15 you're up to 3rd in the rankings again. Therefore I'm shouting for a Wallabies victory by 14

Wales are in terrible form, Gatland is out of ideas. If Wales picked their actual strongest team and had a decent tactician at the helm I'd give them a chance but right now they are on a road to being out of the World Cup before the end of September

So BNZ by 20 then?

Teddy Thomas was dropped from the French team because he didn't bother turning up to training!

News out of the Irish camp is that we'll be reporting a clean bill of health, Chris Henry aside. The 23 will probably be the same as the South Africa game with Rory Best coming onto the bench.

Re Marmion if the O'Sullivan era is to teach us anything it's that competition for places and depth are key. Marmion offers a real alternative to Murray if he keeps on his current trajectory Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

Interesting Diack got the nod at 8 I'd dread going into any kind of meaningful game with him there. Hopefully Olding gets a good run out as does Marmion both are future stalwarts IMO and need as much exposure to the set up as possible. Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

Some of you blokes are doing Sexton a disservice, he is as complete a 10 that you'd find in rugby at the moment. Good kicking game, strong runner, great passing and vision and a phenomenal defender. His attacking strengths aren't as subtle as someone like Cooper, but he regularly breaks the line...

Guardian reporting England will line up with Ford at 10 and Farrell at 12. Should help their kicking game and give them a bit more creativity in midfield.

There was a World Cup in 2007? I've blocked that 4 weeks out of my memory. Good to see Georgia getting a game against a tier 1 nation. Was getting a bit tired of Irelands schedule of one game versus an Islander team as the "other game". I think we'll see some changes but not as many as some...

Don't think your giving Ireland enough credit there. The Boks weren't beaten by some passionate manic effort, they were absolutely hammered by a clinical disciplined outfit. Joe Schmidt prepared his side perfectly and got his tactics and selection spot on, and gave the Boks the kind of...
