Adam Byrne, James Lowe and Barry Daly. Hmmmm. I wonder if we are trying to run in a few tries with that back 3?

I still can't understand why Carbery's not involved though.
I was surprised to see his name misspelt as "Carberry" on one of the big screens before the Sarries game. He's not a fruit. How long has he been playing for us now?

The starting nos. 12 to 14 should prove interesting.

Lovely bit of selection that - strong pack, lots of experience dotted around, a couple of young blades and a lot of threat everywhere

Me too!

I still can't understand why Carbery's not involved though. I would have thought he would have been involved in both the Italian games. He surely must need game time, more than he needs a rest?
He's been given the week off just like a few lads the week of the Ospreys game. I'm assuming that's an IRFU player welfare thing.

Really like that team. If our first choice forwards aren't wrecked from last weekend then, along with Ross Byrne and COB, we should be able to have a structure that allows the speed merchants to have a crack.

I didn't expect such a strong selection but I can see why we've gone that route. Play those first choice guys this week and then rest them next week when the others are back but still keep continuity.

I'll probably say this every week from now until the end of the season...but can't wait to see Deegan play. He could dominate a game like tomorrow, just hope the weather is okay.

I'd say it's just a case of getting more attacking players on the park. That and resting Carburry, Kearney and Ferg. With other Kearney and Larmour injured.

A daunting trip for Zebre.

I have long wondered when the patience of the guardians of grammar on here would snap with the mangling of young Curryberry's name.

Odd as we seem to cope with Abdaladze.

...and don't get me started on Garry 'two R's' Ringrose.

It wouldn't matter if he was. We'd still except him. Are you Isreal Falou?

Bad form Qber........ bad form!!! :shock:

Couldn't agree more. If a 12 year old can spell it right then why not an adult?
Carburry - aargh!

Does this make Toner the tallest captain of a top level team? One for the statos that.

How so? No dice, Leinster Leader. Is that the player who was suspended recently, did you think I was punning on the word fruit? That was not my intention if so. No apologies for no crimes.

Sure Furlong's first name is continuously butchered by a few members of this forum.

Isa Nacewa is 7ft tall...and if he was playing tomorrow he'd kill men by the hundreds, with fireballs from his eyes, and lightning bolts from his arse.

Zebre have won 4 games this season, two of which were against Connacht.

Given the opposition this should be a tryfest.
