How will Ireland do in the Autumn Internationals?
Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
First topic message reminder :
Right boys, I want you give realistic guess of how Ireland will do in the November tests. I want you to separate your hearts from your heads. How do you predict Ireland will do and how will this set them up for the Six nations based on your poll prediction for the Autumn tests.
Do you believe in Schmidt? Do you believe he is the catalyst for consistent success or will we yet again disappoint by firing hot and cold like recent championships have dictated. Is there cause for quite confidence or should we be holding are cards close to our chest.
Feel free to throw out your wildest aspirations on the table or to throw caution to the wind.
The rest is up to you....
Sat 9th Ireland vs Samoa - Autumn
Sat 16th Ireland vs Australia - Autumn
Sun 24th Ireland vs New Zealand

Darcys time is almost up at Leinster and McFadden is already gelled into the Irish squad. Its just a matter of time. He moves inside continually and affects things as it is. That's why Joe plays him. Wants to see Bowe do the same thing. Go figure de math.

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
Gibson - I think what you are doing is looking at where gaps are going to appear in the Leinster squad (12 and 13) then looking at the Leinster players that might come into those positions. Then hyping up these players as the next best thing for Ireland ie; McFadden at 12. The reality is all the best centres coming through for Ireland are coming through at Ulster (Marshall, Olding, Payne).

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
I would be very surprised if the likes of Tom Daly wasn't seen. The next Leinster 12 before McFadden is considered Gibbo. Thomas farrell is in there too but Daly has the size. I'm not sure he is going to make it but I think he has shown enough to want to ease him in at least during next season.

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
McFadden is mistaken is he thinks playing in one position increases his Ireland chances. He isn't quick enough for wing and not physical enough for centre - in short he is a utility player, a conservative but solid option for consideration for the 23 shirt.

Well if he was still getting shifted around the backline he probably wouldnt be in the team, so it already has paid off.The Great Aukster wrote:McFadden is mistaken is he thinks playing in one position increases his Ireland chances.

Hes also probably the quickest player in the squad after maybe Kearney.
He wont ever be 1st choice but hes a very handy guy to have in the squads

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
ROG's take on McFadden (and Jackson).
I can see why - he is a real grafter. Comes across as a really nice bloke as well and very popular.
I'm still laughing at him having a go on twitter at Jerry Flannery about looking like Ellen Degenerets (sp?). It was very funny and he was well able to hold his own with Fla which is quite a feat.
It seems that McFadden is a Schmidt pet (Quinny was slagging him saying that the Leinster lads say he is in IRFU interview).Paddy Jackson may not play against Australia, so this is a huge opportunity for him against Samoa, even if my gut says that Fergus McFadden will be handed the kicking duties. It’s the perennial struggle for an international out-half who doesn’t kick — more latitude and less pressure to run the game or a kick the solar plexus? Jackson won’t like Schmidt’s call — if it be thus — but he may still get kicking responsibilities at some stage of the afternoon.
The coach knows McFadden well from Leinster and he may prefer to hand him the kicking tee in the first instance.
McFadden has an interesting style, a kind of snappy technique, but it’s accurate nonetheless. He practises hard, he doesn’t dip in and out of kicking and is very consistent in his performance. When he does routines, he is always with the kickers in Carton House, certainly as long as I can remember. It’s a nice reward for him too, to be one of the players given a major responsibility tomorrow.
I discussed the Sexton-Halfpenny kicking dynamic on the Lions tour before and there’s no question but that you take something from an out-half’s self-worth when he doesn’t kick the goals. It’s his raison d’etre you are messing with, but Paddy must think big picture here — he has a long career ahead and, all progressing at it should, he has plenty of time to take permanent ownership of the kicking tee.
I can see why - he is a real grafter. Comes across as a really nice bloke as well and very popular.

Notch wrote:I like O'Mahony. Like many of our players he is not as good as his supporters make him out to be and absolutely nowhere near as bad as his detractors make him out to be! Similar to Heaslip. I've been a bit baffled by the idea that Kevin McLaughlin will displace O'Mahony for instance, even if he is a good grafter who complements SOB and Heaslip well and I don't get why the people who think moving O'Brien to 8 and dropping Heaslip think thats a good idea.
I think O'Mahony has all the attributes of a test class backrow and hopefully now he will put them all together at last.
I agree with all of that EXCEPT Heaslip should not be beyond replacing i.e his place is not safe.
Going forward (next three years or so) we have SOB, POM, Heaslip, Henry, Henderson, Ferris (BIG maybe)
That is the pool for selecting our backrow.
If there is no Ferris and Henderson is required in the second row (due to the fact no one under 30 is true test class.
For me Tuohy is a maybe and that's it
The other 4 are all going to be needed a lot and working out a backrow combination without any one of them will be key

The McFadden to 12 ship has long sailed - Marshall is already in the frame and Olding will be soon.
Schmidt never had much faith of McFadden as a 12, for Leinster, , even without Darcy, why would he now

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
Geoff I was more making the point that I can't understand why people would move O'Brien to 8 to replace Heaslip. Heaslip is undoubtedly a better technical 8 whilst SOB is an out and out flanker.
I wouldn't be expecting McFadden to start with the kicking duties- I can see him getting them later in the game if Jackson has an off day but I think we'll start with Jackson. Seems like that was contradicted by Kiss here;

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
This is only my opinion but I believe Kidney would have started PoC,SoB and Healy.If they are fit enough to bench then they can't be too far off being fit enough to start and Kidney never in my memory (Scotland game in 09 being the exception that proves the rule) had a 1st team player on the bench for a Test match that was expected to be competitive.ME-109 wrote:Except that you conveniently ignore that both POC and SOB are still recuperating and did not train fully and Sexton/Earls/Zebo are not available.

In the interest of balance however Kidney never had to experiment against a team ranked higher as we always had one relatively soft game in the AI's before this,I'm sure Schmidt would have used a soft game in that manner too if he had one.

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
I've seen a few people mention this but McFadden hasn't kicked for Leinster in over a year (I think),if we're struggling and Jackson is missing his kicks (which I don't expect to happen,I really rate Jackson) I want Madigan on instead of handing over the kicking duties to a guy who hasn't kicked in a competitive match since early 2012.Notch wrote:It's true. You're going a wee bit overboard now.
He's an okay winger for Ireland. I'm happy now when he's selected he won't let us down and he's a hard worker with a nose for the tryline. Not sure I'd have him in the 23 when Zebo, Earls and Gilroy are all fit and he'll struggle to be a regular in the same way Bowe and Kearney are. He's a good player for Leinster, very consistent, and a good squad player for Ireland. I also like the fact he offers another place kicking option.
He's not getting gametime at centre for Leinster and hasn't for a while so it's a wee bit of a moot point as to whether he can play that role, I'd suggest he's not being thought of as a centre at this stage in his career.

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
I'd hope so,Marshall should get a start next week too.I think D'Arcy is playing well so far this season but Marshall just offers a strike threat he's no longer capable of and it would be nice to have at least one centre with real pace over 20 or 30 yards.ME-109 wrote:That is true but I would imagine he has an eye on the Australian and NZ games with regards to selection...asoreleftshoulder wrote:This is only my opinion but I believe Kidney would have started PoC,SoB and Healy.If they are fit enough to bench then they can't be too far off being fit enough to start and Kidney never in my memory (Scotland game in 09 being the exception that proves the rule) had a 1st team player on the bench for a Test match that was expected to be competitive.ME-109 wrote:Except that you conveniently ignore that both POC and SOB are still recuperating and did not train fully and Sexton/Earls/Zebo are not available.

It wont happen though until Munster play him there - till then Heaslip is pretty safe
I agree Jackson to start with McFadden as insurance

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
The best number 8 in the world was once a specialist blindside, until he was around 25. The reason SOB moving to 8 in the future could be a good idea is that he has played very well there in the past (no problem with control at the base either) and he is able to cover all 3 positions. We have a luxury there in that if we do find a good 6/7/8 to play alongside him, he can shift and very quickly adjust. Nobody seems sure of his best position anymore because he has played so well in all 3 back row positions. He obviously plays flanker mostly.Notch wrote:Geoff I was more making the point that I can't understand why people would move O'Brien to 8 to replace Heaslip.

The best flanking partnership I have seen in Ireland recently is O'Mahony and O'Donnell. For Munster, Stander will likely play 8 alongside these players and replace Coughlan. For Ireland, SOB at 8 is pretty like for like in that sense.

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
Another thing to note is that SOB will not always play at 7 for Leinster if Dan Leavy is as good as everyone makes him out to be. So he will be moved to 6 or 8 depending on where Heaslip/McLaughlin is at then, and the development of Ruddock or Ryan.

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
I have not implied that playing for Leinster is the highest level. I have, however, accepted the Notch argument that 1 test (even if it was away to the All Blacks) does not a backrow make. I do think it's reason enough for the idea not to be discounted. But enough of that enjoy the matchgeoff999rugby wrote:Playing for Leinster is not the highest level - Internationals are.Engine#4 wrote:Because McLaughlin, SOB and Heaslip have impressed as a unit at the highest level and POM, SOB and Heaslip have yet to do the same?

McLaughlin is just short of test class
Could have sworn I saw McFadden kick a penalty recently (Munster?) but I hope Jackson takes the duties. He's kicking well and I think taking the responsibility to bang them over for Ireland will see him grow.

Re: Ireland's November Series and Beyond...
I am looking forward to seeing possibly Ireland's key new component operate in a new era today. Plumtree.
Want to see him rebuild our lineout and scrum and turn them into weapons instead of weaknesses, as they have been recently. That will go a long way to us winning today and help us build a platform for the next 2 huge Tests and the future.
We don't need sexy rugby today, we need a win. If we get that, get our set-pieces right and show signs of our attacking potential during the game, I'll be a happy camper.
Really want to see Paddy J, McGrath and Toner have stormers under Schmidt & Co.
Ok lads, its All for One and One for All. No more bitchin...
