Careful not to say that in a cardiac ward which has at least 1 STH in it!

I thought I had missed a previous email.

Caused me to renew promptly though.

Ever heard of Lee Varley, the hypothetical archetypal Munster supporter? Totally unrelated to Damien Varley, of course.

Is Luke Fitzgerald injured? Would have thought it unusual that not starting means he doesn't make the bench either.

Rotation and precisely timed use of the bench are Joe Schmidt's hallmark.

Less still there'll be no 6 second cameos!

ercrugby still says it's M. Poite.
Unusual that the team seems to have been announced shortly after 9a.m this morning, possibly the earliest ever.
