That is a horrible draw for us. Remember the grand slam game against Wales - Barnes did his level best to hand the game to them in the second half. Penalty after penalty. Isn't Steve Walsh the southern hemisphere lad who thinks he's buddies with all the players? Don't rate him either. As for Poite, they'll just have to keep the Munster lads from talking to him.

no but it seems better to have him away rather than at home. he seems determined not to be swayed by home crowd even when they are right.

mr barnes on the other hand!!!!

Poite!? :sick: :sick: Is there anyone who rates/likes this guy?
