Somebody needs to tell these lads its not U12 rugby. Reminds of playing around a schoolyard with the final score being 312-287

Good sight El Rat. We need a replacement for Heaslip. CJ could be warming the bench in October while he waits to be half good as Heaslip.

Heaslip is the most over rated player in Irish history. Hyped up cos of the money he is on!

Never miss a good chance to shut up. It's a good advice. Maybe you don't like what sort of play he develops but over rated?

Lucas - Heaslip an overrated / overpaid ruck inspector !!!

Lucas Brecón

No way pal. Tell me a couple of Irish 8's better than him. I understand Alan, I would like to see Vermeulen with the 8 green, but this is Irish rugby.

no point comparing them they are both great players in their own ways

Jordi Murphy is just as good as heaslip. Cj is better than both...

Lucas shouldn't you be commenting on the Ladyboys in Edinburgh?

Lucas Brecón
Lucas B. 9 years ago

I comment in every Irish match as a Irish supporter, if don't mind. Jordi could be the next 8. I didn't say that CJ Stander is a bad lad, I only said that Heaslip is mature and useful.

Jai Tuohy

No doubt he's useful but he's not the battering ram he was. We need either a number eight who puts the fear of god into the other team everytime he gets the ball and they're afraid to tackle, or a number eight who is decent at turning over the ball....

Lucas Brecón

Jai T. Completely agree, but now there's no Irish son of Odin to play that way. It's a pity but it's true. CJ it's a quite good player but you know....Vermeulen is bokke too.

I agree with you Lucas I don't think cj will make the rwc squad I think Murphy is too versatile and heaslips experience will be needed for the tournament but after cj may get a look in...

Jai Tuohy

It's also a pity that we have to look outside our nation for players but honestly I think we have to take the best on offer to keep moving forward

Lucas Brecón

That's the point Jai T. I don't see the point of cap players like CJ because it rest diminish the odds to the youngsters. For example Iain Henderson is versatile enough to play second and third row, he could be reconverted in 8. Murphy, Conan is inexperienced but fantastic ball carrier. Maybe all you are right and CJ represents a train to take to improve the Irish squad, I don't know

Jordi, Conan & Jack O'Donoghue (5 years)
