[TRF_Olyy]

Ireland are hoping to get some game time for injured full-back Rob Kearney with the Stormers in Super Rugby.

Just waiting for medics to say he's fit to play

Sweet! SuperRob needs a bit of rugby before the world cup. He was in pretty good form before his injury despite people saying otherwise (his fetch against Racing was mouthwatering) so if he can pick up where he left off and maybe improve his attacking game a bit I'll be happy.

We need him back, fit and firing. He's still our best fullback by a country mile.

What about Isa?

For Ireland.


They're both fantastic players, it's gonna be great to have them battling for the one jersey next season.

Isa is locked to Fiji, don't you remember?

Apparently Isa has rejected his position in the Fijian world cup squad. He wants to stay in Ireland and play for Leinster during the world cup. I love that man!

Will be looking forward to see how Kearney gets on playing in the Southern Hemisphere. I'd love to see him get back to consistently playing the way he was playing in 09.

Felix Jones is certainly making waves at the moment and rightly so. Impressing with everygame. Hes a real bolter for the WC if you ask me.

Could be really beneficial for both the Stormers and Ireland if this goes ahead. The Stormers need a quality fullback; I don't rate Jantjes, and Aplon is much better used on the wing. Hopefully Kearney can get back close to the form he was displaying a couple of years ago, when he looked to be one of the best fullbacks in the world.

Ill believe it when I see it.

Depends on the fitness of Super Rob and Geordan Murphy. If they're both fit and firing I can't see him going. He's a good player, but his lack of versatility really hurts him when it comes to selecting a 30 man squad. That, added to the fact that he has zero big game experience, makes his selection unlikely.

Of course, Deccie's Munster bias could win through and put him on the plane.

Covered everything I feel as well. It would be awesome if it came off; the man single- handedly beat us (Springboks) EOYT 2009.
