[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 628537, member: 39240"] Well to get ball rolling I know I've been critic of some things but hope to see Ireland do job next week. For Schmidt it'll convince a lot that are still on fence as winning in Paris regardless of what French team are like form-wise is no easy task. On French side I'd love to see Fickou more as a greedy view with Toulouse but know that won't happen. PSA has refused to call up Parra but Piccamoles is back and will be a difference. Things I'd say about French are they're playing poorly but are still winning and have outside chance at championship. Also a France team on a Saturday evening/night in Paris is a different animal as they come to life usually. For Ireland I'd hope Schmidts deep knowledge of France plays a part and well if he wants to do the structured kicking game then that it's executed accurately as any poor kicks will be punished I'd fear in open field. I'm strangely confident our pack will match them and we could take them in scrum although it'd be tight but my biggest fear is breakdown. POM and Henry have had issues at times with Southern Hemisphere refs and well Steve Walsh is 1 I'd rather wasn't here as he seems to have habit of being a star in games at times. All in all hopefully we can send BOD off rightfully on the ground it really began for him in terms of becoming a star and that we can go to Argentina as a squad hopefully ready to play Argentina, introducing and building more players in to Schmidts systems as 6 Nations champions [/QUOTE]
