Damn it Marty you totally trumped my rubbish team post on the Ulster thread Smile

Come to think of it the word trump has a different meaning these days Smile

Why are we persisting with our best winger at fullback. Piutau is devastating on the wing and somewhat stifled at 15 in my opinion. I'd rather see either Stockdale or Ludik moved to 15. That being said that selection should be enough to deal with the injury stricken Connacht side. I won't be betting on it mind you but I would bet on the match being an absolute cracker, weather permitting.

Well you got in first Pete if that's any consolation?

Id actually like to see the team play without Piutau if Im honest, I think theres a reliance on him to break the line and think we would be more fluid without him

The forecast tomorrow is for rain most of the day and strong winds, so it'll be like a home game for Connacht

Should be a strong enough team for a win, but the weather is going to be a bit of a leveller. Still think we should win though.

Agree with that, Piautau is better on the wing. It's not at the IRFU's behest because Nacewa plays on the wing for Leinster?

It could be though so as not to block any indigenous talent Whistle

It was a very promising performance from the second row combination. Henderson immense as always.

Let a bonus point go, but happy to get the win. After two really tough games v Clermont, and a 5 day turnaround, it's reasonable to think the guys were running on low. They get a much needed rest now ahead of the Leinster game.

Thought Ah You had another good game. Henderson was very good but McCloskey was my MotM.
