whereas Ireland have replaced BOD really quite easily...
Nah not replaced, improved on! Does anyone see an improvement in ABs from those that left 2015 to now? Not that I see in 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 14 (NMS to BFA), or 15 (BFA to DMac) - 11 is debatable, Jules was great vs France, and good through RWC but not as good over the year.

@machpants I think if we had settled on a #1 mid-field it would not be as big of an issue.
We have quality options there, but did we play the same duo in any game this year (injury obviously played it's part)

Dowdy reckons they are no longer this team bound in mystique and aura
Lives in the UK I guess

12 too IMO, as his allround game was complimented by being an absolute fucking beast that would give the opposition nightmares trying to tackle.

England Hooker Brian Moore writing in the UK Sunday Times 18 June 1995 on the morning of the England-NZ RWC semi.
"England's recent win over New Zealand has shown their aura of invincibility is fading fast. Today England will smash it forever."
Oh, how we laughed...
