Every bit as bad (in fact worse IMO) than the Kruis incident which had all the non English debating a red card.

B team (Ireland) playing a B/C team (Wales). Both teams packed with players obviously trying to impress and do something to nail down a squad place, but inevitably a lot of crap and errors so far with a smattering of nice play. Ireland pack and defence much the better so far though, and playing from a much solider platform.

Shit I didn’t notice that. That is a big call.
Kleyn is that Southh African born bloke at Munster isn’t he?. Have seen him a few times but can’t recall him playing in the green shirt. Did he play any of the warm ups?
You and England have the best locks depth wise, imo. Ryan, Henderson and Bierne are class.

He made his debut against Italy a couple of weeks ago. He only became eligible for us a couple of days before that. I think he played against Wales at the weekend.
He supposed to be in there because he's a bit bulkier than the rest of the locks we have. Think I'd rather have Toner. He's supposed to be pivotal to our line-out success, and not just because he's 10ft tall.

Yeah leaving someone out as experienced as Toner is always a gamble but then it’s akso good to take some unknowns out there to keep opposition coaches on their toes.

Ireland look like they're trying to pick as big a team as possible. Bosh tactic hasn't been working, so time for even more bosh.
I think their hopes though largely rest on Murray/Sexton at 9 and 10 a) being fit, and b) rediscovering their mojo.

Irish lineout v England was a complete shambles so leaving Toner out is a big call.

We should top our group, but we're likely going to be playing South Africa or New Zealand in the 1/4's. If we play like we have been this year we won't beat either of them. I think we play the minnows of our group at the end, so if we do what we should at the start then at least we'll have a small break before we play them. In the last World Cup we had a great win over France, but played Argentina in the 1/4's the following week and the French game took a lot out of us.
