apparently Donnacha O'Callaghan is the only injury concern going to the England game so i assume D'Arcy is ok.Quote:

I know I said I was disappointed at the lack of noise/atmosphere at the brazil match on Wednesday but I was back at Lansdowne Road on Saturday for the match against Wales and it worse.
Yeah it's great we won but there was no atmosphere at all. I think someone started singing once and some people joined in but that seemed to be it!
What's happening to us?
There is no us. There's part time football fans and rugby fans. Neither are famed for creating atmosphere and both are completely separate from the other...Quote:

Great performance from the two centres. O'Driscoll looked good at inside centre. He jinked out of tackles as opposed to Maggs who just takes the hit.
Crap atmosphere.
Would someone tell O'Driscoll to stop kicking the damn ball.
Rugby people are getting much more into the Munster/Leinster thing that primary importance is having players available for the province over the National team.
Its interesting tho how the national team "works".
The forward play we saw against Wales is exactly what Munster have being doing for years, while the back line is a Leinster dominated.
You could easily have the situation where 1-10 is Munster, 11-14 Leinster and 15 Leicester with Ireland's strongest XV;
Horan----Sheehan----Hayes
--O'Connell---O'Callaghan--
Wallace--Foley---Quinlan
---------Stringer--------
---------O'Gara----------
----------------O'Driscoll
-------------------------D'Arcy
Hickie-------------------------Horgan
-------------Murphy-----------------
That would be almost as strong a team as we have.
