Best xv of the weekend?

First topic message reminder :

Who did you think were the best in their position?

I think O'Gara is responsible for the defence coaching at Racing Metro. Now, you could say he's not doing a great job of things right now! You maybe should say that given the disparity between money invested and games won. But at least if a large part of his working week is working on defence, he would be reasonably informed.

It's funny given his history as the least obstructive turnstile in Thomond Park, but then if coaches all coached how they played St. Andres France would be a side renowned for flair, risks and skill.

See, sensible! The Irish are all overrated until they beat us at Twickers in a week and a half, thereafter they will be either incredibly flukey, cheaty or world class depending on the manner of the defeat

He is indeed

I'd ignore most of what I say in the build up to this match, it's mostly WUMmery and reactionary comments to my automatic protective instincts over every Quins player, every one of which seems to have to play flawless rugby to not be as seen as average at best

He wasnt a very big man and therefore got steamrolled a lot. He was brave though.

Ah Quins I get it now. no wonder you love Brown and have a keen eye for cheating. Just kidding, just kidding.

Do you have a Quins jersey by any chance?

Regrettably as a poor student I can't afford one, but it's on my pay-cheque list!

Just curious because they are made by O'Neills. Strangely O'Neills usually only make GAA jerseys. must be O'Shea's influence.
