Ringrose ruled out while Furlong also a doubt for Ireland

The IRFU have confirmed that Garry Ringrose will miss Ireland’s massive Guinness Six Nations games against Wales and England after suffering a hand injury in the opening round win over Scotland.

There is also doubt surrounding Tadhg Furlong, with the prop reporting tightness in his calf towards the end of Saturday’s 19-12 win.

Ringrose picked up his hand injury in the first half against Scotland, and the IRFU have confirmed he has now had a procedure which will rule him out of this weekend’s home clash against Wales and the trip to face England on February 23.

Ringrose is expected to be back in action in time for the round 4 home game against Italy on March 7.

Fulrong is due to be monitored during across the week, and has yet to be officially ruled out of the Wales game.

Meanwhile, the IRFU have also confirmed that development players Ryan Baird (Leinster), Robert Baloucoune (Ulster) and Harry Byrne (Leinster) have all returned to their provinces, while Leinster flanker Will Connors has been added to Andy Farrell’s main squad.

The 'turning point' Andy Farrell rued in Ireland's All Blacks loss

23-13. Bit embarrassed your team got knocked out in a quarter final, then hardly showed up on their own ground?

Bit angry Rieko outplayed you then gave you the finger again?

What’s Ireland gunna do about it?

Four talking points as England name team to host the Springboks

JVP is Ben Youngs lite from what i have seen, SB appears to have returned to the box kick mentality that he used in the WC which was fine then as it was wet but Saturdays forecast is for dry weather and light winds and i cannot see this tactic working as well.


Steward as solid under the high ball as he is, has no real pace in attack and turns slower than a tractor, the SA wingers will be licking their lips when kicks are put in behind him.


Other than the swaps for the concussed players i fear it is more of the same this week and i can see us (Eng) getting rinsed in the scrum.


It will be interesting to see if Ford is brought on at 60 as he is more of a kicking 10 ten than Smith, i just do not see where our attack is coming from as WW is out of his depth going on recent displays..

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

Ja Jake you make a lot of sense. With regard to the shot clock I think anything from the 15 meter line should have a minute. For anything closer the ref should have full discretion to blow for time wasting. These kickers think they are movie stars because they know the cameras are on them. Standing chatting to the Tee guy and having a second or third drink and then placing and kicking it over in 7 to 8 seconds. Those guys should be blown and sent back to the halfway, no points!


The English have the most players so should make a plan. They should be asking for a fifteen to 1 bench!!

The past don't matter. The past can't save you. Past results can't save you. The players from more than 2 decades ago doesn't play anymore. None of anything in the past will make any difference. Getting hyped about the past is a fake happiness. SR has become weak. It's busy dying as a competition. The AB's used to be scary. Not anymore. Despite your stink attitude, we Saffas still support our SH neighbours over the NH teams.

The 'turning point' Andy Farrell rued in Ireland's All Blacks loss

Not much can be done in the Aviva, but if he gestured to the crowd again there would have been a pretty serious negative response and I am pretty sure he would have got the ban he should have got in Paris (same rule break as Sexton).

Again he showed cowardice by waiting til he was safe before abusing Ireland.

NZ supporters are cult members who will never say wrong about an all black whether a coward like Ioane or the wife beaters on the team.

I dare you to repeat this same message after the game. When is soon? The English will drop down the rankings. SA will stay where they are. At the summit. You are right, the whole world will be pissing laughing, only not at SA but at you and the English team.

If the weather is bad, it will become a forward game, and that is very bad news for England. The English defence is like sieve. The Boks have the best defence. Letting in 42 points, against the Wallabies who the Boks thrashed... You get the point. We all wish our teams are tough and will front up, but ignoring the obvious only brings pain. The fans like to believe the best, the players know the truth. They will try their best, I'm sure of that, but winning? A close game? Not a chance, and it's against almost a full strength Bok team. That should scare you. I'd suggest go and watch some of the games of the Boks this year. I doubt you followed the Boks tests and watched them, because if you had, you would not be so sure.

'I'm sorry, George Ford’s time is up as an England player'

Andy G is so poor at judging players and his only skill, even as a player, is to try to cause a reaction. Never rated him as a player although he did have longevity, and surely don't rate him as a pundit. His only pundit skill is try to cause a reaction, no matter his lack of understanding of the game and how coaches operate! That is my view. formed over years!! If I say it I surely it cannot be wrong....LOL. In saying that, I wonder why all these past England players ALWAYS knock their current players. This is not new but it is a massive problem in England. For some reason the "old boys" think they were better than they actually were.

England and their Chief problem

The Boks are clearly a much better team but when England are backed into a corner they generally play better. The players are good but they're badly coached, when they're up against it, they throw the gameplan out the window and they start playing instinctively with more aggression. It's not often a team beats us by 20 points and i'd be surprised if that is the margin.

Out of the Boks 11 Tests this year, I was spot on in 8 Tests. The other 3 Test I was off by 1 or 2 points. I look at the teams being put out by both countries. Especially the Boks. I'm wasn't wrong. I hope you are right and it's a close exciting game. It's what we all want. A runaway game is no fun, not for the players and not for the fans. I wouldn't mind being wrong, but I don't think I am.

"and are spreading that ball around like Rama on toast." Exactly my point. Porous defence on both sides. It looked more like a Super rugby game between Western Force and Melbourn Rebels than a test match. Against NZ, SA, Ireland or France the Wallabies would be the toast if they allowed that many line breaks.

England and their Chief problem

Guys,


Had Borethwick not dropped a huge clanger and stuffed the team by bringing his big mate ford on and also next game moving Marcus out of the way again for ford , we would all be basking in 2 wins ,probably, and looking forward to the Boks.

Yes the team made lots of errors but were still there at the death .

Borthwick / ford issue is the problem

It will still be until the 2 Smiths are given proper games .

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

While the All Blacks look a much better side than the one that went down at home to Argentina, the success of the tour cannot be judged on two games. England ara mediocre side which lost to a side which got thumped by more than 30 points four times in the rugby championship. The value of the Irish win is much bigger but it will be put in perspective by the Ireland Argentine game this weekend. Ireland are nowhere near the team that won 17 tests in a row having only scraped a five out of nine wins in including wins over Italy and Wales starting with the WC QF. Scotland are a way better team than England as their comprehensive win last time out showed. The game against France is vital for the AB's to judge their progression.
