[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 821617, member: 74121"] I don't see any x-factor in that Irish selection to break down arguably the top international defence. Possibly Zebo, but barring "that" try has he done much in an Irish shirt? Trimble dependable and a good finisher but isn't the fastest. I think Ireland will struggle to get a try, even cross kicks and high balls will be against Dagg and Smith who aren't too shabby in the air. With that said I think the Irish selection and likely gameplan is one of the few to have a chance of keeping the score respectable by breaking up the game. Maybe even a wee chance of a win if NZ go experimental and have poor discipline. At least one team has picked their exciting young talent at fullback. Harrumph! Hopefully it inspires a few US kids to be the next Rob Kearney! [/QUOTE]
