[QUOTE="Ospreylian, post: 712261, member: 59055"] Old Lukey boy proved you wrong in the France game when given his chance anyway :p He did a right job on the French driving maul, caused some real disruption with those octopus arms! It's going to be one hell of a tough encounter. Defense will be key, as Wales still don't know what they want to achieve in attack. If Wales can hold Ireland out for 60-70 minutes and keep withing 3 points of Ireland I think it's all to play for. It just depends if Ireland can keep up their recent habit of sussing teams out and doing some expert pre-game analysis and preparation. I wouldn't make too many changes. Obviously Rob Evans will come onto the bench now James is injured. I think Baldwin and Charteris fully deserve to keep their places, between them they have really helped to sort out and stabilize the lineout, which had a 100% success rate on the weekend. I would be tempted to have Tipuric in for Lydiate, but I think Lydiate had a good game against France so that might be harsh. I would have also been tempted with Scott Williams over Davies, as I've said before, but seeing as he has been released to Scarlets that obviously won't happen. Good to see Cuthbert has been released too. No chance of him regaining his place anytime soon, phew :p I was very pleased with the way North got more involved against France. I actually heard his name a few times in commentary, which really doesn't happen these days very often. [/QUOTE]
