Eddies Dilemma.....Who to pick at FB for Wales.....Murphy or Dempsey.
I've made my point clear, Murphy anywhere other than fullback plays like a stinky bulldog licking **** off a nettle. But playing in his preferred fullback role, he's definitely world class.
Eddy has a problem now, having shot his load before the Scotland game saying that Girv would be back in situ for the Welsh game!
Funny Article in The Irish Times finished up with how he might get over this quandry! It reads:
===============
If it was a presidential race Eddie O would win hands down. He has the furrowed brow of sincerity, the head leaning to the side, and the gift of making nonsense sound vitally important. Gatland on the other hand looks like he could do with a good laugh. One thing he can be sure of - even if he does win the Grand Slam he's unlikely to win personality of the year. He's about as colourful as air.
But as we know, it's not a presidential race and if Eddie O is to prevail, this time he's going to have to be brave. Go on, Eddie O, do the right thing! If he does, the following scenario may transpire.
Irish rugby team hotel: head coach ponders classic dilemma between head and hip.
This week E O'Sullivan visits G Dempsey's room.
EOS: Howya, Girvan? How's the hip?
GD: It's fine. Cleared up completely. Raring to go against Wales!
EOS: Oh yeah, that's great, yeah. You still look a bit stiff though, Girv. You can't peel a spud with a sieve, you know.
GD: Good point, couldn't agree with you more, but I've no stiffness at all. It's amazing how good I feel - not even slightly sore. It's as if it never happened.
EOS: You can't rush these things though. Sometimes a thing might not feel sore, but it is sore, you know? For example you can't tell if a kiwi's ripe by looking at a banana. I think we'd better not risk you against Wales. It's gonna be helter-skelter, up stick and bang 'em and see where the chips lie when the dust settles. That's Six Nations rugby. D'you follow?
GD: Not really, to be honest.
EOS: Girv, you're one of the most experienced and reliable players in the squad, but sometimes you have to squeeze out the pips before you suck on a lemon. You know?
GD: Sorry, I'm not with you.
EOS: You can't pluck a chicken with a spatula . . .
GD: Sorry, I'm . . .
EOS: Sometimes you have to buckle your belt, even if you're wearing braces . . .
GD: No, still don't get it . . .
EOS: I'm picking Geordan. See you!
Exit E O'Sullivan.
