    Great that Naismith is back. Two rucks; easing Sam back in.

    Omissions of Gray and O'Riordan fair enough. Neither have had much impact over the last fortnight. Ronke for Gray brings speed for kicking efficiency. McInerney has shown a bit more run than Colin.

      Not a good week for the Irish. The stigma is contagious, so it would seem.

        I agree that it's great to have Naismith back. I'm slightly surprised at the number of changes. I expected a more conservative approach.

        I wonder if McLean will be played down back? We could use an extra tall down there. If so, I presume that means Brand is not ready to go yet. If not, is McInerney going to be played out of the backline? Or else, who will be the 7th defender (assuming Dawson, and not Florent, is the 6th)?
        All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

          I'd guess one of Naismith, Sinclair or McLean to be a late out.

            Hopefully NOT Naismith. You reckon O’Riordan to come back in?

              How will they fit 3 rucks in the team? I wouldn't mind seeing Clarke come in for Sinclair

              Dogs have some handy outs too

                    I don’t see it as three rucks. It is two tall forwards plus Naismith. Longmire mentioned that McLean was brought in last week to free up Heeney from being a key forward. Sinclair and McLean to take the tall defenders, crash packs, and try to take the occasional contested mark. Ronke, Paps, Taylor to add pressure when the ball hits the ground. Heeney to do as he pleases. Unfortunately, with Buddy, Reid, and now McCartin all injured we are down to our 4th & 5th choice key tall forward.

                      Yeah, McLean keeps his place and Sinclair survives Naismith's inclusion by virtue of McCartin's omission.

                        I think you seem to forget we lost our only tall forward in MaCartin McLean will not play ruck he will play CHF

                          Don't mind the changes, McCartin, Gray & COR weren't doing much replaced by Naismith, Ronke & McInerney who collectively should do more. Should be playing to winning rucks as well now you'd reckon.

                          Maclean is not a ruck, he's a CHF and now won't need to ruck except for an occasional chop out deep forward.

                          I like the message, perform or you're out.

                            I agree. Wonder whether Ronke or McInerney will get the job

                              Harry C would be much better, has done good defensive forward roles in the past and has the pace to keep up. Wouldn’t trust either of Ronke or Mcinerney for that role.

                                Yes so do I. Good message to send. There are plenty in the wings that want a game.
