Thoughts on EOS ireland selection against france?

Question

heaslip and jackman in

Answer 1

I agreee with Multi, Best needed to go!! Being a Munster man as well, I just want to see Jerry Flannery's suspension resolved and cut short so we can have a man with some REAL line-out ball!!  I also agree with the full-back situation, and there's no question that we should have Tommy Bowe on that pitch!!  I also like the Jamie Heaslip move as well, I feel he'll be one of our backrowers for a long time to come.

Another thing it pains me to admit, I REALLY like Eoin Reddan at the Scrum-half!! Sorry Strings!

I'd LOVE to see an upset and quiet some critics!!

UP IRELAND!!!

Answer 2

He is finally changing a side that has not performed for a lng time ( last years six nations). I think Best is one of the worst throwers of the ball i've ever seen and Jackman has really improved that aspect of his game this year as well as matching Best in loose play.Heaslip has deserved his chance for a long time and is finally getting it, although as a Munster man it pains me to say it Leamy is just not the No. 8 he used to be. I think Dempsey should be droped to bench and Murphy moved to fullback. What does Tommy Bowe have to do to even make the bench. He is on form the best winger in the country and Geordan Murphy's best position is at fullback. Overall its good to finally see Eddie making some unforced changes and hopefully this is the start of a new Eddie

Answer 3

Good to see Jackman in...tho I think Flannery is by far the best we have. Pity he got himself suspended.

Tommy Bowe should be in there. Easterby is finished. Lets pat him on the back and let him run wild in the woods.

Answer 4

Well changes needed to be made, that's for sure, but Easterby on the bench?????????
