More likely to be injured by a Tonga team in the fight rather than one put away after 30mins also I reckon. Faz has his approach and it's completely different to previous cups, which can only be a good thing I'd suggest!
That record is his regardless but hope he is taken off ASAP as the Tongans are hard hitters and we don't need to pick up any injuries
I want to be there in the stadium shouting obscenities and saying horrible horrible things about Ronan O'Gara as it happens. It's how I like it, and I truly believe Johnny does too.
The win isn't the concern, it's the injury list afterward is what will be losing me sleep for the next few days…
True just would rather Sexton doesn't get risked and miss record due to bad injury in unnecessary risk.
Well think the rest week after SA plays in to it. And hopefully it won't be too taxing
Ireland haven't hit top gear since the French game in February. The line out has misfired in recent games. I can only assume that the logic behind fielding what is an almost first string team, is to iron out the wrinkles before next weekend. Clearly an injury is a price that Faz is prepared to pay if it means that they squeeze the last 5% from the team when they play SA.
Puke
I reckon we hit top gear given the circumstances v Scotland. Don't know how we could have navigated that game better than a 15 point win conceding once, essentially what SA did last week minut Doris and two hookers and in Murrayfield.
