Ireland v NZ - Chicago Showdown & Dublin Duel
-
Tuipulotu and Romano to start with Luatua and Squire on the bench. The Irish will try to turn this into a real slow grind I reckon so our lock and loosie benchies should be big, strong and fast so Ardie will have to sit this one out.

Welcome aboard @Jimmy-Jimmy . Not sure if the TSF olive branch has yet been extended to you. Jump on the bandwagon and have fun.

O'Brien was real quality a few years back, especially at RWC2011. Should have the been the Lions 7 in 2013 but for Warburton being the captain. Pretty sure he played a blinder for a fair chunk of Dublin 2013 too. Seems to have had a massive amount of injuries since then though.

It's not on the terrestrial channels in Ireland either. You have to have subscription to Eirsport which got exclusive rights. So hopefully there's a dodgy stream somewhere.

it looks like you can subscribe here and watch online if you can be fucked.
I did it once when they were Setanta and was not impressed with the quality , that was the last time we got beat by England, it was a bad experience all round -

I don't see any lineout issues for us on our own ball, Romano at 2 is safe, Tui or Read can easiliy will ball at 4 or 6 with Franks & Kaino lifting. Add to that all our backup loosies are lineout options - Luatua, Dixon, Squire.
And Ardie. How tall is he?
Good old @Canes4life he created a joke that will never get old.
Is Tommy Bowe injured or given that he's about 200 years old in international wingers years has he been dropped/retired ?

Tommy Bowe has recovered from injury but he's on the outer at this stage I think (32). Pity - always liked seeing him play. Trimble will get one last hurrah for this series. The future is Zebo, Healy, Adeolokun, Kelleher and Byrne.

Bowe has recovered from injury but at 32 he's on the outer. Trimble, at same age, is getting a last hurrah in the November series. The future is Zebo, Earls, D Kearney, Gilroy, Healy, Adeolokun, Sweetnam, Healy and Kelleher. Hopefully those are the names in the mix by this time next year.
