    on the topic....

    It seems France have two injury worries too Aurelien Rougerie and Damien Traille are both out

    It knida evens things out but still D'Arcy is such a blow, himself and O'Driscoll work so well together

    I donno is this such bad news.

    Maggs is a wonderful player, he's like an extra back row foward at times as well as an excellent centre. The two French boyos will have a fun day between Maggs running through then and O'Driscoll running around them. D'Arcy is better with the boot tho, neither O'Driscoll or Maggs are particularlly good at kicking (Rob Henderson anyone?)
    Oh no not them again

    He can be a huge weakness for Munster, though it matters not really with Christian Cullen gone.

    Eh Hendo, oh no oh no oh no!

    He's not near the player he was four years ago.

    Rather randomly I was watching the diabolical London Irish-Leeds game on Sunday. Bishop looks like he still has something to offer as cover out wide, defensively he's quite useful. Would still have him well down the pecking order mind.

    Thread split, crap binned. It may have been meant in jest, but the web doesn't support emotions, and tbh only a Sun reader would find it amusing.

    I don't think d'Arcy is as big a loss as people are making out and to be honest, I'd prefer Maggs in the centre than Horgan. Maggs is as strong as an ox and great on the crash ball. With Traille and Rougerie out, the French have been weakened somewhat. From a neutral point of view, I'm disappointed that we didn't see Yashvilli, Michalak and Elleselle play in the same backline. The French management have not helped themselves with their selections. I like the new full-back (Larrangue is it??), but he's not of the same callibre as Brusque or Poitrenaut. Therefore, I think our backline will shade it.

    As for Justin Bishop, he doesn't offer enough in attack. Saw that London Irish - Leeds game at the weekend. He had a great try-saving tackle but the exiles were bereft of attacking ideas.

    D'arcy is a titantic blow to our chances our winning. Although Maggs in the centre is defensively solid, he doesnt have the injection of pace and run defence spliting lines through the opposition. Saturday may well be a wall battering encounter from our point of view with few players able to create chances for tries.

    The bookies have lengthened our odds of winning against france and Wales. Still I think we can win but I dont think it will be pretty.

    I think you're in dreamland making a case for Maggs over Horgan. Maybe two years ago but not anymore, Shaggy offers a lot more.

    Shaun Payne full back and Brian Lima/John Kelly interchangeable for the wing/centre.
