[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 908736, member: 45598"] Lol. They want the players to dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge out of his way! It'll be interesting to see how we go this week. In the grand scheme of things Aus need a win more than us, losing a second consecutive test series to NH opposition is pretty catastrophic while we have played 30 players in tier 1 tests and have the chance to share more minutes. Ultimately it depends on what Schmidt wants and since the last RWC I think he's found fantastic balance between building a squad and being successful. I think we have enough in the squad to win while not going all out but there's a few players that are integral to beating the Aussie side. 1. Healy 2. 3. Furlong 4. Toner 5. 6. POM 7. 8. 9. 10. Sexton 11. 12. 13. Ringrose 14. 15. Kearney I think you can fill in the blanks elsewhere and still win. Obviously I don't think we can go all out 2nd/3rd string but there's multiple players we can play in all those positions. I think Schmidt will go pretty strong, he has a chance to make this the best calendar year Ireland has ever had by going 10 from 11 and there's at least three games between now and the end of the 6 nations to experiment more and then obviously the RWC warm ups. A win where Cooney gets at least 15 minutes would be ideal anyway. [/QUOTE]
