Wales could be in serious trouble unless they sort out their selection issues, I think they need James, Tipuric, Hook and Scott Williams in their team. For all their possession and territory they created very little. They have become very predictable with the boshing 3/4ers. Ireland finally...

Irelands intensity dropped after BODs try, although the defence was awesome at times. Not sure we deserved two yellow cards though. Warburton has firmly played himself out of the Lions captaincy, and they certainly missed a trick with Tipuric he changed the game when he came on

great skill by Zebo!! This is just the start we need. C'mon Ireland!!

have the same feeling myself! Really hope we see Ireland play to their potential, can't sit through another 80 minutes of Kidney-ball ie no aimless box kicks from Murray and for the love of god be aggressive in defence

nice way to start the season, delighted for Folau that his debut went well. Be interesting once the Wallabies come back into the side

so he'll be hailed as the messiah of NSW rugby in the papers tomorrow? Good to hear his first game is going well in all seriousness

Given the inventiveness or lack thereof for the Tahs Lions presale password (which is all over Irish message boards atm) I thought it might similar for the test tickets! I’ll give my Myrugby ID a shot but not holding out too much hope for this round of sale. Looks like I’ll have to take my...

Dont suppose anyone has the Rugby Community password for Tuesdays test presale (http://www.rugby.com.au/signup/)? I know I am chancing my arm being a newbie and all but there would be pre match beer in it for the willing helper :D;)

Giveen Chieka was very reluctant to thrown in untried youngsters in Leinster and Stade, one example being he only picked Sexton at 10 when Contepomi was crocked and Naweca was covering outher injuries, means I think if push came to shove he'd shuffle around more experienced options and have them...

With Ocquerra at 10 Italy look like a half decent outfit, I think this year I'd fancy them to beat Scotland and maybe Wales or Ireland at home (depending on who loses tomorrow).

Bit off topic but did many G&GRers get Tahs Lions tickets in the pre sale? Just snared me and some mates platinum seats. Will this game be a sell out?

Wales have missed a massive trick by starting Warburton ahead of Tipuric. Ireland should win this providing Mike Ross stays fit for 80 minutes.

And it payed off for him, the Boks blitzed the Lions in the first test! Deans could be hoping for something similar

in fairness Hines has been playing some great stuff for Clermont! He is one of the few quality tight head locks available to the Lions. Although anyone who has Warburton in their Lions team cant be taken seriously he hasn't played well since the World Cup, he is utter dross for Cardiff and seems...

or absolute clowns like Stephen Jones

Think its a big blow for the Tahs and the Wallabies although a short term break could see he back for the World Cup which wouldnt be the end of the world I suppose

He has all the basic tools to be a top quality full back however something he needs to always keep in mind is his height in contact, some converts like Andy Farrell struggled with this and were turned over far too easily. It sounds very basic but its one of the fundamentals of Union RL converts...

The atmosphere around England is very like when they hammered the Wallabies in 2010, Ashton and like talking themselves up from the moment on and they never came close to hitting the same level again. In a strange way I wouldn't be shocked if Lancaster almost wishes they didn't beat BNZ so...

First 20 minutes are key for Ireland, if we get more than a score ahead Wales have shown in the past they aren't great at chasing games. Murray is the key if he moves the ball quickly and runs with purpose a la Argentina in November we could run them off their feet. First time in a while...

Long time lurker here, just moved to Aus and the ball and chain has set me up with a Tahs membership so thought i better get involved! Looking forward to this season, hoping Cheks can repeat his Leinster heroics here. Look forward to getting involved in the chat this season!
