    I see that he is still being assessed, and will not begin the Ireland team for the England game. Iain Henderson is also out of the game having sustained a broken arm on Sunday. However the Irish now have strength in depths they will not be greatly depleted. They could also be with out Cadman Doris and that will be a big miss for them should that be the case.

    That was definitely a result of predictive text, and me not checking it before posting, as I checked out the spelling of his name before posting!! Honest.😁,

    As it happens he has been declared fit and is in the side for tomorrow. Woe betide England. It should now be the Grand Slam for Ireland, theirs to loose I think.

    INDEED !! And they lived up to your expectations as well  cry,  such that Mighty England thought they should try playing with League numbers ~~ Actually its just a clever way of 'resting' players before the R U World Cup  wink

    It was a ridiculous decision by the ref to red card him, and spoilt what was up to then a pretty even contest. There was no way that England had a chance after that! 

    The best game of the day was the Scotland/Italy one, and what a way to finish it!!

    I Guess you are quietly celebrating that Red Card and all attached restrictions / punishment has been rescinded , Nellie. The lad will be able to " lead with his shoulder " when he is next selected wink

    No celebration, as the result still stands. It may have been a different outcome had the correct decision been given at the time. As for leading with his shoulder, reading the result of the inquiry, they concurred that he was attempting to avoid the collision when he and Keenan collided. However others may disagree!!
