      Think he is close to be one of the best players to ever come out of Northern Hemisphere rugby.

      The Lions choice will be interesting

      Think the one area we could struggle is the 10 jersey

      Sexton is currently favourite but not sure he is dynamic enough

      Remember George players can be picked that are not playing for their countires so it wouldnt surprise me to see Wilkinson in there - he is playing some of the best rugby of his career at Toulon and has plenty of experience.

      Yeah I have heard quite a few pundits etc mention Wilkinson.

      Think Sexton is a definate - then I think Farrell should go because he can also fit into the centres - then it's down to Jonny or Priestland maybe

      Gonna be a tough call for the whole squad I think.

      The Welsh / Irish back line always looks more creative than the English so he may look at combinations but thats down to coaching rather than having the better players I think.

      Tualagi & Ashton should be on the plane with maybe Foden as well.

      Defintely those three - not sure about the rest of the backline from England though.

      Glad to see Ireland beat Argentina and retain our place in the top 8.
      Good win and some of the young lads are really starting to find form.

      There is some very talented young backs there - Gilroy looks a quality player and proves you don't need to be over 6ft 4 and over 16 stone to be a quality international winger

      Ireland certainly looking like favourites for the 6 Nations currently

      Zebo, Bowe, Gilroy, Sexton, Ryan.
      All played well.
      Thought Bowe and Gilroy particularly good.

      Bowe is a quality finisher - think he should be a starter - impressed with Zebo.

      Ryan is very good

      There's still a long way to go but I'm seriously considering going to the next World Cup in England (if I have the $$$). It'll be a great occasion and I would love to get more involved with rugby. Great sport, should really have started to watch it sooner.

      Thought Ireland were fantastic on Saturday.  Hopefully it leads to a consistent run of results and team selections - about time Kidney injected some youth into the team. 

      Gilroy was fantastic and scary thing is, he isn't even first choice for Ulster.  Healy, Ryan, Zebo and Sexton all impressed me too.  It'll be interesting when Kearney returns to full back to see who plays on the wing.  I reckon Bowe will be a cert so it'll be up to Zebo, Gilroy, Trimble or Earls for the other spot. Really hope Earls is not persisted with at 13.

      How the hell has it been so hard to get Ireland playing like the provinces is what I've always wondered!!

      So Munster have it in their own hands to knock defending champions Leinster out of the Heineken Cup - all they need is a 4 try bonus point win over what appears to be a weakened Racing Metro side. 

      Lot of permutations to be decided tomorrow.  I'm hoping results go Ulster's way and we get a home quarter final, most likely we'll have to travel to Saracens though.  From an Irish perspective I hope Leinster do sneak in as they're definitely stronger and more likely to challenge the big French teams than Munster.

      Widnes have signed Gareth Hock on loan from Wigan, get Betts the pie eating c**t out now !!!!!!!!!!! Apparently he refused to train with Wigan, asked for money and be allowed to move to Australia, as well as the drugs ban a while back he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the Eddie Stobart. Wigan bas**rds !

      You're a Lenster man, why do you support Munster?
      We've won it three times...

      Could be a very tough game for Ireland.
      Wales have proven to be a bogey team from 6 Nations to WC.

      If Ireland don't win this it could be a long F***ing tournament.
      That said there are some good young players coming through.

      Time to put some faith in them.

      Ireland have surpassed my wildest expectations.

      The gains O'Mahony and O'Brien have made has been very impressive and Rory Best should consider incorporating an 'a' into his name because he has been a beast!  Zebo as well - immense.

      Keep it up second half lads.
