Ireland have abloody aweful draw to get through... kind of sad since they're probably the best chance the northern hemisphere are gonna have. O'Driscoll > one magnificent mama jama

Ireland desperately need to beat France and Argentina in their pool games. If they can do that, then maybe they can win the World Cup. But they may very well miss the quarters.

Argentina aren't a bad side, but Ireland should be able to defeat them fairly easily.

I don't think Ireland can claim that. France have the wood over them.
Well that's a really hard thing to judge, because France are a hot and cold, when they're hot none of the other northern hemisphere teams can touch them but when there not they can get beaten by scotland :) . While Ireland are more concistent.

We can win the world cup.
We have a world class back row and lineout a little work on the scrum and we will be very close mark my words!
Yes Stephen we have a good back row, as do South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, France and England :laugh:. And no our scrum could not be described as "needing a little work" it is apalling, but I agree that we have a very good lineout, and IMO the best centre combination in the world.

That i will agree with you O'Driscoll and Darcy are a great partnership.
And Horgan is as good as any winger in the world IMO.

Stephen I know you said IMO but come on!!!! Shane Horgan is a very good winger, probably world class, but Joe Rockoco, Sitiveni Sivivatu, Bryan Habanna, and Lote Tuiqiri are all in league above Horgan.

Oh and BTW Stephen on your point on Irish Back Row, they're not that good as the panelists on RTE have also said, they're a little unbalanced because they're all natural blindside flankers

O'Driscoll gets a cheap shot...

...from some thug playing for Bayonne. From YouTube.

You might miss it the first time, but the clips shows it about half-dozen times. Cut to Nickelback, sadly, but you can't have everything.

That was disgracefull should get a hardy ban for something like that!
Anyway looks like he will only be out for the 2 opening games and should be back for the 2 crunch ones.
Stringer is out of our warm up against italy although with back spasam.
