Excellent and I agree with all points, including the likely outcome Chris.

Many thanks Chris, so, if we play like we know, and have hinted, we can and we stand a chance. Give away the ball to LI and they will win. Once more unto the breach dear fans.

Nice write up.

Whilst your half backs are struggling a bit, you boys now how to grind out the wins without being at your best.

We have as good a chance of beating you as we've hdnin a while, but we'll need to match the intenisty we've shown the past rwo games and take our chances.

Looking forward to it, and hope to see plenty of your fans there for beers and banter on Sunday.

Thanks as always Chris - excellent stuff and cannot differ a whit.

I do feel for O'Leary though - since when was stamping on Haskell an offence?

Tell me, are the tractors still plying on the A6? I want to 'spot' my first red one

Let's hope the preview is not, yet again, more entertaining than the game

Incidentally, didn't see one Chinese military uniform in HK last year, but the gaff was still polluted, frantic, manic, and juxtaposed as attractive and repulsive

Thanks for another great read, Chris. Like you, I do fear we may get turned over this time - we've been riding our luck for so long now, and Oirish are just putting some form together. I still live in hope though, that maybe this will be the week it all starts to fall into place.

Excellent as always, let's hope this is the turning point game and the boys produce the best performance of the season.

Excellent read. Your analysis of the Irish players would be hard to match by most Irish supporters.

Whilst Marland is I think fit enough to challenge for at least a spot on the bench it is hard to drop any of the current back three (James O'Connor Andrew Fenby and Alex Lewington) when Brian Smith has Topsy Ojo and Sailosi Tagicakibau at his disposal. Topsy only missed the win at Saracens when his wife gave birth the day before. He did come on at the end at Adams Park where his main contribution was to gratefully field a Wasps penalty that did not find touch enabling Irish to hold on to the narrowest of leads in the final minute.

Safe journey down on Sunday!

Well, that was better than tractor spotting after all; perhaps if those players get a run of games they'll gel into something good, but not 'special' [as that is copyrighted]
