Ireland v Argentina

[munstermuffin]

Just on issue if Feic or Snoop are on - what the story with Heaslip and the contract stuff like he was saying before he wanted to leave after World Cup to try himself in Super 15 but everything went quiet after that

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

There is no story. Heaslip is trying to get as much money as he can when his contract ends. Good luck to him. IMO if the IRFU can find money to pay a couple of 30 somethings (O'Gara and O'Callaghan) they'll easily find the money to pay a number 8 coming into his prime years.

 

[munstermuffin]

If money is the only problem I agree it shouldn't be a problem as he is a big asset but hope he doesn't have a desire to leave and try new ventures.

Brady's been named in the Ulster squad as well, so clearly they're hoping Varley will be fit in time.

Mild shame, I'd quite like to see Annett step up a level.

 

[munstermuffin]

Damien Varley is fit and will be hoping for a go on Sunday

 

[Fran Zicari]

That is a decent Argentina team.

 

[durbutter]

Very worried. We'll have to front up at least as well as we did last week, and hope the rain says away.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye, that's a good Puma team,
Hopefully (as a neutral ) they click better than they did against France, and vastly improve their handling

Keeping Heaslip at Leinster should've been part of the government's 4 year plan

 

[khaotix]

Ireland will take this one, A stronger team all round imo.

Definatly. Heaslip is way more important than the Metro North :lol:

I think we need to be as swift as possible at the breakdown and make sure no one heads in to contact without support. I know Argentina will try to slow us down which is why we need to stay away from rucks and mauls as much as possible and work the ball into space.

So Buckley Cronin and Healy front row against Argentina. Should be fun

How do you know this?

 

[munstermuffin]

Well apart from Gert Smal kinda saying it and Mike Ross due to be sent back to Leinster and pictures on papers I think clarify it.
But in fairness it was expected and well Cookies and Shannon in Thomond Park tomorrow night is due a big crowd as Paulie set to return off bench and it looks also like Geordan Murphy at 15 and Keith at 11.

 

[lynam1104]

Last week you said the front row would have Hayes starting so you never know. Hopefully they don't send Ross back because our scum will get smashed by the Argies.

 

[munstermuffin]

Well Leinster are nearly certain he will be returned and we've been informed Mushy is staying with Irish team. And what I said was John Hayes was replaced against Samoa as he was required for the NZ game and while he didn't start it was correct. Hayes will play for us this week before representing the Baa Baas next week.
Also John Muldoon sent back as well

 

[lynam1104]

ok fait enogh. One more thing aren't the Baa Baas supposed to be the "best".

 

[munstermuffin]

The Best of maybe 5/6 years ago for alot as in I look at the crop that will face South Africa and they all deserve to be a part of Barbarians history but alot are well past their prime.
