Highly plausible. It's well-known that Geordan Murphy has an inflated opinion of himself so I'm sure he's been unable to control his displeasure.Quote:

I've seen him live only once - at wasps vs Leinster - and he scored one breakway try I think. I think I've also seen him do the same on TV a few times.
It makes sense to pick him in my opinion. Boss nearly cost us badly with a pass to O'Gara's ankles which he did really well to catch and clear from inside his own in-goal area. Boss is hesitant too, as displayed at home to france and other occasions.
be interesting to find out who wants to leave camp. Stringer getting demoted to third choice wouldn't be best pleased.
Stringer, Murphy, O'Kelly, Quinlan, all have legitimate grounds for being p1ssed off imo.
I seen Stringer do the same for Munster in the Heineken Cup Final to win them the title, a great break from the base of the scrum. Considering Munsters lack of width I think he is encouraged more to have a go himself than he is for Ireland where the orders seem to be get to BOD and lets hope he makes something happen.Quote:

When Boss plays for Ireland he breaks much more than Stringer, problem is that his pass is waaaaay too slow for international rugby. So I don't think its necessarily the coaching.
Redden looks like he has the makings of an all round scrum half game.
Also, Stringers box kicking is regularly atrocious.
supposedly a key players wife has thrown him out of the house which has thrown the dressing room into chaos
I think reddan is a great choice at 9, I had a feelin stringer would be dropped but i thought boss would get the nod. It doesn't make a difference any way i cant see us winning!!
Anyone here gift grub this morning? Ladies instead fantastic
Not enough wardrobe space for his clothes in the dressing rooms?Quote:

You look at guys like Fitzgerald, McBride, Kyle, Gibson et al who represented the island for the love of the game and gave 100% in every performance, in many cases foregoing their careers to continue to play rugby.
Now look at the Irish primadonnas trying to advertise as many products as possible and collecting big salaries, makes you wonder about the overall benefit of professionalism.

It goes a bit deeper than the wife throwing him out, and from what I gather, L'Equipe and a few other French papers are to highlight his problems tomorrow.Quote:
