A Scottish victory would make me very happy. But my gut tells me Ireland will win. I sure hope I'm wrong.

Looking forward to this, shame it's not the Saturday evening game.

Looking forward to this, shame it's not the Saturday evening game.

Next week is our only prime time slot despite, in my opinion, being the most anticipated game in weeks 2, 4 and 5.

Not having us v France at the Saturday evening game was one of the 6ns all time **** ups.

That's a damn good team

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Get Fetish and Henchshaw up to speed for next week and we're only Beirne and Conway off full strength. That's rare.

The obvious and huge caveat of coming through this weekend unscathed that is.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Scotland: Stuart Hogg; Kyle Steyn, Huw Jones, Sione Tuipulotu, Duhan van der Merwe; Finn Russell, Ben White; Pierre Schoeman, George Turner, Znder Fagerson; Richie Gray, Jonny Gray; Matt Fagerson, Jamie Ritchie (capt), Jack Dempsey

Replacements: Fraser Brown, Jamie Bhatti, Simon Berghan, Scott Cummings, Hamish Watson, Ali Price, Blair Kinghorn, Chris Harris

Learning everything I can about these 23 men on the way to the airport right now so I can shout reprehensible, sub-human and extremely personal abuse at them on Sunday.

I already know Townsend is bald and I can do a lot with that so no extra study there.

Just call them the pride of Scotland, it's the worst thing you can call an Englishman, which most of them are

As above with Healy in.

Murray starting

 

[munstermuffin]

Should add nothing between them but think Kelleher very unlucky. Has been superb lately and thought he deserved to start.
Henderson needs a big game and well back 3 will face biggest test I feel in this game. So focus is required.

Kelleher has been superb, but Sheehan is a freak. Kelleher probably the better scrummager but Sheehan wins everywhere else. That is one impressive looking side, so no excuses.

Seeing as Hogg and Russell are playing you don't need to learn anything other than they are the best!!

Don't disagree just though Kelleher form was good and deserved the start but very little in it either way. Both superb players

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Kelleher was good but not enough to oust Sheehan imo.

I'm delayed in Dublin Airport, I'm currently contacting Turkish Medical Authorities to find out exactly who gave Hogg his second hair transplant after he ruined the first one bleaching it.
