ROG starting on Sunday!!

Sexton gets call up for Fiji match. I guess if he plays well he'll get the nod for the South Africa match.
I hope he plays well as we need options if we want to retain the 6 nations.
 
Lads, get a grip. Whether ROG, Teatime, Jonny Sexton or me gets the No 10 jersey against Fiji is irrelevant, and I can't think of a worse team to be facing in order to do the work that's needed to prepare for South Aftica.

Oooh I could crush a grape !

I disagree, I think its too much to ask the 1st team to play 3 internationals in a row after a long break especially against southern hemisphere opposition. I am surprised in one way that O'Driscoll is playing but he prob wont play the full match. I would keep him safe for S.A. especially since Fitzgerald injured. I might have played Healy again too. Delighted Ferris is not injured - I thought he picked up something the last day. We'll be well primed overall for S.A.
 
Three weeks in training camp should see them fit for SA. Making eight changes to the team is nothing about preparing for the world champs., Kideny can only be looking at the WC.

Really like Sexton and feel he relishes the big games, He'll do well on saturday, but it will be hard considering it is a team that hasn't played together before. However we should beat them well.

Pity Healy got a knock, we need to keep our front three together. Gutted for Fitzsgerald, he'll probably miss the 6N, thats a huge loss to us.
