He'd be closer to fourth choice for the midfield, mind. I'd treat him as a specialist winger.

You don't know what you are talking about. ...but you are hilarious, whether you intend it or not. :lol:

Humility is a noble pursuit, Logorrhea. I commend thee.

Or, if you will: Irish fans scapegoat a lot, it seems. When the Irish team were horrendous against Wales this season, the common consensus was to lynch Paddy Wallace. On the back of that woeful performance at home against Italy in 2010, you only appear to cast judgement on one player. (Here...

But it wasn't just the two. It's not worth the effort in proving either of us right, so I'll drop the defense talk. I have no agenda beyond commenting fairly, no matter the player. I have no provincial bias. I feel that there is evidence to suggest most-to-all facets of Fitzgerald's...

While D'Arcy and Fitzgerald had especially bad campaigns that Six Nations, in the Aviva Stadium that day the entire team played erratically. No one player could be made accountable. It was a frustrating spectacle.

Yes, but injuries occur both during and between matches, so cover must be established. Selecting Duffy would have, at most, only put forward another specialist fullback who cannot compete with the best of Kearney and Murphy. Why do you think that? Everyone bombed at one stage during that...

How do you rate this? (Cheap shot with an old clip, I'll admit it!) I think Duffy has done well enough to earn the caps he has managed for himself so far. With the return of Kearney and Geordan Murphy on the horizon, and the likes of Fitzgerald and Earls having varying degrees of...

I have not seen any RWC 2011 gameplay. I have seen a lot of tackle- and try-animations. Your link is irrelevant.

...thank you very much, South Carolina.

Yeah, I kind of walked in with a bad cliché there. But if you have nothing against the home quarter final, why not maintain the seedings for a semi-final then?

Not exactly my sentiments. But it wasn't two consecutive games in which he was exposed. It was a handful, and they were peppered across the board. It was amateur and, yes, worthy of cringe.

:D This is the definitive litmus test, for those not in the know.

This was more of a bugbear for followers of European rugby when Italian sides were a certain five-pointer, home or away. Now the Heineken Cup groups are beginning to level out in terms of a contest. The challenge of not only topping a pool, but vying for a home quarter final is part of the...

This was my take alright. Unless Italy can demoralise the Wallaby pack, I reckon it's the Boks who could struggle, what with their narrow gameplan, their 'madman' at the helm, their largely competitive pool, and a strong likelihood of facing one their next-door neighbours in the IRB World...

Could you post those stats for me? I'm a lazy keyboard warrior, see... I do recall Fitzgerald forgetting the touchline so often in defense this season, and being shown up by 'Magners League' standard wingers. In my mind "latter" encompasses all of two games, and "excellent" is a word I don't...

South Africa. They'll struggle into the last eight and lose their quarter-final.

You do know that the number of Test caps one aims to achieve is limited by fixtures, which in itself is limited by time, right?
