Ireland XV vs Fiji, Match Thread and Build-Up

[Notch]

First topic message reminder :

Looking ahead to this game, Eoin Reddan is a doubt apparently but there are no other new injury concerns. Ferris and O'Connell are confirmed out of this and next week.

I've already talked about the issue of this game not being considered a full international which can be found HERE and we should should probably try and keep discussion of that issue to the relevant thread.

I'm very much of the opinion that we should largely keep the same team. I don't see how wholesale changes are going to help prepare the firsts for Argentina. There should of course be a few tweaks (please put Earls back in the back three) but this team needs time on the pitch together. Of course, I think our problems run deeper than a lack of pitch time together but we're in a desperate situation here. We need to beat Argentina and this game has to be treated as a dry run for the week after.

I think it's time for an up to date 'build up' thread. This one has now officially burned in the oven.

I'd rather like to think, that it was the Southill Branch of the Palestinian Jee-Hadists Brigade, who dissed Our Jamie. The forbidden, yet irresistible, Limerick Hang-sangwich, drives em crazy.

It was they, who took it out on the finely-permed One. He is Israeli after all.

I'm well glad we cleared that one up.

Mossad for the HC!
