Honestly, I know we hate the Irish style of rugby, but when it comes to controlling a game and slowly but surely strangling the life out of an opponent, even if you fall alseep watching, Murray and Sexton are up there with the best.
Eh, no We all don’t hate...
Your bias undies are showing again, BT. That guy who killed your cat has a lot to answer for.

Actually I don't hate the style, so you're correct. I appreciate it for what it's worth - making Ireland a very good rugby side, 2nd in the world rankings, and difficult to beat.
The NZ public, including myself, would not to be too enamoured if Hansen tried to foist that type of game plan on NZ - it's basically a variant of the Springbok 2007 RWC-winning recipe. If Conor Murray is indeed absent in November, I don't see your pick of McGrath/Cooney/Marmion having the requisite control to implement it to such a high level.
At the end of the day, any Irish fan, including yourself, will happily take a 1 pt victory in Dublin, I very much doubt the manner in which it's achieved would be a major concern.

I'd play Beauden Barrett at 15, allowing him to come up to first receiver a lot. The best of both worlds. Murray can take the exit plays, moves etc, but Beauden comes in if he sees a hole.
I want a goalkicker somewhere in the team, and Beauden isn't it.

What's the point if the ball is too slow coming to him?

Leguizamon ? He is not even in the Jaguares starting XV ! Matera could be a better option on the bench.

@derm-mccrum No Rieko in the 23 at all? At the very least I'd suggest Rieko would make the 23 jersey as Barrett and Ben Smith can cover fullback.
I'd suggest that Reiko would make the 11 jersey considering he's the premier wing in the world and as far as I know Ben Smith has never played on the left?
In MY team, I expect players to try things they’ve never done before...
Sexton must be shitting himself worrying about having to run with the ball.
He’s used to that by now.
@derm-mccrum what shitting himself.

When did we start using bogan ball terms, first receiver. 1st 5 or stand off please.

Post your guys actual 15s to see what you do instead of just picking the odd players you’d take out

Someone already knocked that easy ball out of the park hours ago. Swinging at empty air is not a good look on here. You need to be on your toes.

Mate 'swinging at empty air' is what the Fern is about. We excel at it.

Oops, not Murray, Sexton. Beauden at fullback, but with the option to come forward on attack.
Genia or Smith at halfback.
Every team needs a kicker.
