disgraceful that paddy wallace is starting for ireland at 10!! what more can johnathan sexton do to get a starting place!! he is clearly a better 10 than wallace and has had far more game time at 10 this season!! just awful!!

Bob Casey's call up to the Irish national side is well overdue; he has consistently been the most outstanding lock in the Guinness Premiership for the past two seasons. His steal record at lineout is second to none and how Eddie O Sullivan could overlook him is beyond me. With the exception of one Geordan Murphy no other English based Irish player got a look in the national side and in fact Eddie O Sullivan's policy has lost the likes of Shane Geraghty to England. Well done Bob, now take your chance and show all the doubters wrong
