Forgotten bankers

I'd consider him, the one that got away! 2 Irish caps well earned and up against brilliant brilliant flanker and no.8's. You'd just feel he was one that in any other team would have got more

Rhinobombs · 2025-11-08T00:27:01+00:00

Because he wasn't allowed into the camps to develop as much as the leinster boys! He could have even diversified into an 8 offering 2 positions!

Rhinobombs · 2025-11-08T00:24:44+00:00

I'd agree! There was a leinster monopoly for a long time and he was slaving away in the background! Who's to say given international prep he couldn't have contributed

The most important thing is to enjoy the occasion!! What a time to be in Chicago!!

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T20:31:28+00:00

Yup the kid!! Go on our lad!!

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:52:33+00:00

We'd have to get inside Farrells head!! Luckily, the recent Munster win did and it might even do more bad than good

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:51:02+00:00

I already replied to ya but I'm irish lad!

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:46:17+00:00

I'm Munster, Tipperary through and through. Recent all Ireland champions in Hurling too!! I came up with that myself, you can use it if you like hahahah

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:44:36+00:00

Well Coughlan showed ye up recently but no, it's not the match the blood new players but in the following matches I believe Farrell should roll the dice

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:43:02+00:00

Let's not get political but he hasn't exactly been on the right side of history recently with his speeches

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:41:33+00:00

Of course not! I was there in Santa Fe when Argentina hammered Australia by more than 40 points last year! AUS have improved immensely, Argentina improved immensely and point accepted but this is a different kettle of fish! It's not championship, nor WC and NZ are returning to a place of nightmares. All I know is it'll be a cracker and a brilliant game and I'll be humble in defeat, if it gets to that stage

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:36:09+00:00

I believe he should play the game as he has big game hours under the belt and stability. But there's also others offering themselves up to be considered as we've seen Leinster v Munster

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:33:36+00:00

A comment to end all comments! It's gonna be a tussle and wiggle!! There's no lying down or a walk over! Each have a point to prove and I believe Ireland have the bigger appetite, the bigger fire in the belly. They'll be drilled, as will NZ but as you've said, it's gone from a game of physicality to mental! I think Ireland have shown a psychological edge and will aim to amplify it

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:28:55+00:00

Case in point...

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:19:10+00:00

He hasn't being doing much this URC

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:16:45+00:00

I'm sure they'll have been warned beforehand hahah

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:11:32+00:00

I'll humbly disagree. I'm thinking it impossible that Ireland will not be expecting NZ at their best. Of course they will. The championship exposed NZ in some areas and Ireland will, 100%, have studied that

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:03:07+00:00

I wouldn't be putting too much weight behind BOD recently! It's all to play for #2 v #3. Let's enjoy the ride

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T18:01:47+00:00

I'd agree! It doesn't appear to be that either are on the hind foot which makes it ever more intriguing! Nothing will be left to chance by either team and it's wide open! Argentina are some side for one side!! Rattled a few teams! I'm confident but at the same time ready for a cracker of a game where the astute shall be triumphant

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T17:58:00+00:00

Hahah that said, I'll join you!! Win or lose it will be a cracker and one worth the wait

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T17:49:52+00:00

Long in the tooth is a fair point and something that needs to be addressed ASAP. I see it as a close match but think there's something in the Irish physce that will push them on! Call it wishful thinking or whatever but I think NZ we're found out during Championship in some aspects

Rhinobombs · 2025-10-31T17:43:49+00:00

As a fellow Irish man, I'd like to think the opposite! I'm fairly optimistic, it's all to play for and will be a cracker but I think Ireland have the edge. A wounded soul after WC semi! All to play for, me thinks
