14/15.

I wouldnt pick Brew, although he is in good form Halfpenny has far more variation in his game. For a start he can nail the 40+m kicks which Jones can't. He is stronger and quicker than Brew so I'd put Leigh over Brew.

Brew is stronger and in better form, plus their about the same speed. Brew is also the top try scorer in trhe Magners League so far (Well, joint with Tommy Bowe) while Leigh Halfpenny hasn't scoed a league try all season. (He scored one in the Heinkein Cup, and one for Wales.) I think Brew deserves it.

Here's my Ireland team to beat England: (Just because that's the only game I really want them to win.)

1- Healey

2- Flannery

3- Hayes

4- O'Connell

5- O'Callaghan

6- Ferris

7- Walace

8- Heaslip

9-O'Leary

10- Sexton

11- Fitzgerald (If Fit)/ Earls (I'd like to see Carr, though.)

12- D'Arcy

13- O'Driscoll (CAPTAIN) (Except against Wales, where he's rested and they play a fileing cabinet or something. I dunno. Just make sure he isn't playing against us.)

14- Bowe.

15- Kearney

I was about to pick a Scotland team, before realising I'm largely oblivious as to their backrow and who partners Hines in the second row.
