[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 306832"] I have two major worries about this game (excluding injuries): - 1. The Irish back row is excellent at contact and in the loose. With Martyn Williams misfiring and Delve being call in last minute, I can see this being where the game is lost. The ruck is going to be a pressure cooker and Im just not sure Martyn is up to it (as much as I want him to prove me wrong). 2. The Irish lineout is immense, and ours is awful at the moment. Thats with Rees in or not. If this hasn't been sorted out, Ireland will kick to the corners all day and put massive pressure on us. I know I am pointing out the obvious, but its been the problem all 6N. If we run the ball when its on, then we've proved we can be very dangerous. If we start running it when its not again then it'll be the france game all over again - except the Irish wont stop. Stephen Jones needs to control it on Saturday or we are doomed! [/QUOTE]
