**DmanDmythDledge** · 26/05/2007, 4:17 PM

Looks like RM for Gamble.

**shero** · 26/05/2007, 4:17 PM

what about the front line shane long is muck.

**Dodge** · 26/05/2007, 4:20 PM

Really poor looking team

Long is far from muck though.

Happy with that team tbh. No harm in experimenting.

--------------Colgan--------------
Murphy--O'Cearuill--Bennett--Kelly

Great to see Joe Gamble start the match.

I agree it is a weak defence. I think Bennet did ok in the last game but changing 2 of the back 4 plus the keeper maybe not the best idea.

Long started on the right side of midfield in the last game but looked much better when moved up front.

11 is a number!

FFS, it goes without saying that it's a weak defence.
It's squad rotation for this tour, so as many players as possible get involved. Very good managerial move.

**gustavo** · 26/05/2007, 5:45 PM

Agree with geysir , fair play to Stan might as well see as many players involved as possible.

Is Murphy not a left full?

Since when did that matter to Stan?

I think it's a positive insofar as we're going to see many players playing in the international arena for the first time. Just like the other day, the result is almost irrelevant - its the performances of the players (individually and collectively) that will matter most.
