Ireland head coach Andy Farrell will have to plan without Jordan Larmour for the upcoming Six Nations and Autumn Nations Cup fixtures after Leinster confirmed the 23-year-old is set to undergo a procedure on a dislocated shoulder. Leinster’s latest injury update doesn’t make for pretty reading for Farrell, with further bad news regarding Ryan Baird and Max Deegan.

Larmour will have a procedure this week after dislocating a shoulder in the Pro14 win over Benetton on Saturday. Leinster hope to have a clearer idea of his return date after the surgery, but confirmed he will be unavailable for Ireland’s upcoming internationals.

Baird, who was last week named in Farrell’s 35-man squad for Ireland’s two remaining Six Nations fixtures, was also forced off during the Benetton game with an adductor strain, and will be further assessed by the Leinster medical team this week.

Meanwhile Deegan will be out of action for a number of months after having a procedure on an ACL knee injury sustained against Dragons earlier this month.

Leinster have also confirmed that Tadhg Furlong will remain under the supervision of the Leinster Rugby S&C and medical team this week as he recovers from a calf issue. Furlong has yet to feature since the rugby restart in August.

Ireland captain Johnny Sexton (hamstring), Rónan Kelleher (quad) and Andrew Porter (hamstring) will all be assessed by the IRFU medical team this week.

Why Australia won't see the best of Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii at centre

I don't think there was any duping Nick, it was simply a case of 'hamish knows best' and what he says goes. With all the dust settled, what worries me is that many that allowed him to make that decision and the sacking of marinos are still on the board or in the chair (Herbert and waugh). Can we say they have the integrity to do the right thing when it comes down to it?

Why Australia won't see the best of Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii at centre

I think the omission of skelton and kerevi probably has two parts to it. 1) Everyone talks about the level of detail Schmidt coaches at, so i assume kinda like under rennie it takes the players 3-4 weeks before they're across everything and the coach is happy with their level of understanding. 2) Schmidt seems big on combos and cohesion, so I think he is a little reluctant to bring guys in who are only going to play a game or two but then might not be available down the track... This is the same reason why on the flipside JAS was maybe brought in so early, to try and build that combo as much as possible before the lions. Regardless, I think we will get to see both skelton and kerevi in gold before the tour is finished (otherwise why bring them in at all?), but he better do it soon. Are they available for the last game(s)?

No need to have nella go for 70 like bell because we have a handy replacement in AAA. Boks props do their 40 and off.

Regardless of the France result Razor's All Blacks have proved something

The Blues strategy - ongoing pick and drive - isn't what the All Blacks team is currently employing. They haven't changed their tactics, they have just strengthened the personnel - especially from the bench. Players returning from injury - Jordan Tuipolutu, Roigard have changed the form of the team.

Jake White: If I was England coach, I’d have been livid

Really like your articles Jake.

With the rule changes I’m astonished at the regularity of Union rule changes. Other sports take it nice and slow and even then it’s a mess e.g VAR. I think the French saying is “plus ca change, plus ca meme choise “

The split bench. Its hilarious. I’m think you are my vintage and you may recall the formidable West Indies bowling attack in the 70’s. If Stephen Jones or Beaumont were commenting on that they would say let’s change the rules as these 6ft7 seamers are ripping into our top and middle order.

Its mad.

Rassie went with a 5-3 split to demonstrate whatever the make up of our bench we are still going to be very difficult to beat. For heavens sake Wilco Louw is our 4 choice tight head. Good grief.

France suffer double injury blow ahead of All Blacks clash

More mobile indeed, but far less experienced at this level atm, in particular for Tatafu. I believe Flament is also quite above his replacement choices, but anyway he will play.

Great team overall, although I'm leaning toward a AB victory as they had the whole season to build together.

I find Cortez a bit quiet chat wise; TJ and Nuggy were very vocal, knew how to draw attention to players killing our ball and that sort of thing.

It’s just experience.

Need some new coaching blood that’s for sure. Someone willing to bleed for Wales, not someone looking forward to a glass of wine on the beach after they get fired.

I think you might be right, especially if the AB's win. Mind you, the Ireland Argentina should be juicy.!

Four Ireland talking points as Aki axed and two rookies make bench

Unfortunately NZ lacks a centre field pairing that can break the line like Bundee can even though otherwise defensively sound. Argentina could well be a banana skin team for the Irish. Underestimate at their peril.

Forget Ireland, the All Blacks face the real alpha of Europe next

As I said, a good player doesn't mean a good person. That is a very good example of why he is a great player, but not a GOAT and why he never will be. Rugby is a team sport, not an individual sport. If he thinks he can beat the AB's on his own, the French is in for a massive hiding. Especially if there is sour grapes in the team, because they won't play as one unit, but rather like seperate pieces. Instead of passing, they will go it alone and the AB's will destroy them. The real joke of this whole article is calling the French the real Alpha of the North.

Scott Robertson explains the new halves pairing for the All Blacks ahead of France

Taylor must have passed the medical and trained well enough for Jason to start him.


The replays of him staggering and stumbling over didn't look good for mine and had the similarity to a punch drunk pugilist in need of more time to fully recover.


Anyways if he can play as good as he normally does for as long as he can, Aumua and co. will definitely get the All Blacks over the line.


Cam and Damian also showed how in sync they are leading up Aumua's try assist pass to Jordan where Beauden would have gone kick pass and most likely stuffed it up.


Go the All Blacks...Wallace Sititi to score a try for Sammy...onwards and upwards...

Springboks make 12 changes and move away from 7/1 bench split

The reason Rassie went 5/3 split. We want the ball. He is anticipating exactly those tactics. The reason for the players he chose for the backline. Fast, elusive and extremely dangerous. This will be an expansive game. Mark my words. Rassie is very clever. At least that's my assessment of the game. Borthwick isn't clever enough to pick up on that and most likely will go with the same tactics as the semi finals. If you noticed, this year the Boks tried to keep a hold of the ball and tried to run from anywhere on the field. You got to have the ball to score. The Boks box kicking is great and they know how to play the areal game if they need to. By switching to expansive tactics, they will give the Boks exactly what they want. Defending the whole time will always make you more tired than attacking. Besides, the team without the ball mostly gets penalized as they tend to struggle to stay onside. That is my opinion of the game play against the English that Rassie have in mind. Of course, trying to read Rassie is impossible and I may have the cat by the tail.

And now we hear the news that Matthieu Jalibert is refusing to be on the bench.


Thomas Ramos from Duponts club shifted to first five from fullback, clearly to prevent Matthieu Jalibert from making the ten position his own in the absence of Duponts other club mate Romain Ntamack.


This isn't good captaincy by Dupont, it will create division within the squad and will prevent world cup success.


It was clear at the world cup that Dupont wasn't trying to coordinate with Matthieu and it's now clear Dupont wields too much power within the team.

So do I. I love a tight match where anyone can walk out the victor. That is much more fun for fans. Runaway games isn't enjoyable by either fan of both teams. At least not for me
