Chiefsaders bench is interesting.
The Crusaders haven’t poached Tosi….yet

Heat is on Ireland for this match, undefeated at this ground, while we have a 50% record there....

Ireland have named their team
Ireland: 15 J Osborne, 14 T O'Brien, 13 G Ringrose, 12 S McCloskey, 11 J Lowe, 10 J Crowley, 9 J Gibson-Park;
1 A Porter, 2 D Sheehan (capt), 3 T Furlong, 4 J Ryan, 5 T Beirne, 6 R Baird, 7 J van der Flier, 8 J Conan.
Replacements: 16 R Kelleher, 17 P McCarthy, 18 F Bealham, 19 I Henderson, 20 C Doris, 21 C Casey, 22 S Prendergast, 23 B Aki
He’s done well to leapfrog both Aki and Henshaw.
Going for a like for like to take on Jordie ?
McCloskey has shown some power from what I’ve seen. Will get them some go forward.

Pleased to see both Leicester and Caleb in the 23.
Will be interesting how Tupaea goes at 13 with BB at 10.
Bit of pressure on De Groot to lift his game.
I'm not sure Lord or Darry are great options as bench locks but hopefully Lord can step up to the challenge.

The team naming has become very dull. The 23 almost picks itself, the same underperforming players get picked again and again and almost nothing ever surprises.

That's not true, I'm genuinely ( and pleasantly ) surprised Tupaea got picked over Proctor

Really? Proctor has struggled to stamp his mark all year. The only thing that put a question mark of that selection was Robertson saying Proctor was only being tested for the Perth test but that turned out to be another example of Robertson just saying whatever he thinks sounds good at the time.

No argument here, all I'm saying is it's much harder to get out of this team than in it.

Only real concern is BB. Just out of form.
Out of form since 2019 when Mounga took over at 10.....
He's had his moments. Was it this year he git injured against the Brumbles?
Up to that point in that game he was looking like the best Beauden to ever Barrett. Not got back yet here.
