Well, they are the best team in Europe I'd say. Let's hope they come in assuming it will be easy...or play a B team (I haven't looked at their players ).

Exactly, that team will pretty much be playing France in 2 weeks.

It's more about the performance tomorrow as the actual result, there aren't that many of our team that would get into theirs.

Sorry to be facetious but "if we keep hold of the ball", has no one told you we just kick the ball back to our opponents, whats with this keeping the ball :smt017 :smt052

Can't see Ireland losing this one tbh. 20 pointer against the CLUB side.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Problem we have is that you would normally say- slow the game down, kick the ball of the field, have a set piece etc etc. have you seen Leinster attack of set piece? They are brilliant at it.

Ok so let’s keep the ball in play and run them around the park ….pretty sure that’s not going to work either.

Our only hope is a bucket of rain, fire and fury. Along with the idea they don’t have to win!

Time for the big players to earn their corn.
