I think the captain should always be a forward and POC has great leadership qualities.

paul oconnell is the best lock in the world and never gives less than 100%
although drico too gives it his all,it would also detract attention from drico.

Yes but should a Cork man be captain of Ireland?
(see Sonia to run for Oz thread)

Bit of a clanger there College. He's a good Limerick lad - I went to UL with him.

Paul O'Connell.

Sick of O'Driscoll hogging the limelight with a new whinge after every match.

I stand corrected about O'Connell.
I'm for Drico.. he's from the Northside and he's a UCD man.. a lot like me!

After all we don't have any ministers in the Government anymore........

Bit of name droppin here..... ''Drico'' was in my class in Primary school was kinda crap at GAA he certainly didn't stand out at any rate. Didn't think he went to UCD though...went to Blackrock after Primary??? not sure don't know much bout Rugby. I think he's a good figure head however...he's annoyin as hell sure...but he's good for the sport in Ireland as Captain. So I'd go for him. In a better world O'Connel would be captain though.

Pete I've probably been to Limerick more often than you have, I just didn;t know O'Connell was from there.
And for the record what is the captial of Burkina Fasso?

Drico was a product of the UCD Rugby Academy.But captain of Ireland is all we got on the Northside.
I agree that in a better world a forward like O'Connell would be captain. I remember Kieran( spelt as per sports crossword in yesterday's paper) Fitzgerald's captaincy ( Triple Crowns) " Where's your f**king pride? "
