Well this game with warm weather should be a try fest.
Is Alfie Barbeary injured?

Wow that little chip from van Rensburg at first phase off the scrum for the try is a real beaut.

Goodrick-Clark won't be happy with Eddie watching this one, he's a good prop hoping to tour this summer and Alo is giving him a going over. Not going bad on the other side of the scrum for Wasps either.

Re: Irish vs Wasps - Sunday
Phipps is having an absolutely shocking game so far. Wasps are putting the pressure on and he's falling apart, no game management from him at all.
Wasps defence looks tenacious around the fringes, the back three should be the LI target but they can't seem to apply the pressure there.

Did they just say that you need to be top 7 for Heineken cup qualification? Only top 8 if an english team wins it?

This game is insane. I hope Wasps don't blow it.

Re: Irish vs Wasps - Sunday
I stopped watching about minute 67 because my children wanted me for something and almost didn't go back to watch the end because the game was basically finished, wasn't it? Quite glad that I did bother going to watch the end now.
Both Joseph and Arundell look very special players. I'd be keen to see both of them on tour, both in terms of developing them as apprentices and making sure that the Celts don't get ideas about poaching.

Re: Irish vs Wasps - Sunday
Wasps wont want to watch that last 15 minutes again. Credit Irish for the comeback and, Arundell's try was a beaut, but they should have that had the game sown up.
