Kidney has to go. Ireland need to bring through a solid young team and they need to do it now before its too late. Kidney doesn't have what it takes. Look at what England and Wales are doing.
Pretty healthy 6 nations. Ref was poor today. England were poor too. Wales were Wales and took the thing home. France are France and there's little point in reading anything into their performance - a 2nd rate France XIII could take out a world beating NZ team on the day. Ireland have been there or there abouts for the last 12 years or so but that's it really. Italy are getting better and gravitating towards a world cup quarter final spot with a good wind behind them. I won't mention.....
At the end of the day it's about a big night in Cardiff. The majority of the Welsh and English fans will neck as many beers as they can and then a few more and will wake up to bacon.
