"My flippancy on this thread was reflecting my opinion" I think that more or less sums up your style of argument hahaha...Even if I do express my points in a flippant way than you've pretty much admitted that you're no better than me. Let's just agree that we're both fallen creatures and work towards atoning for our sins LOL

As for not responding to certain posts, I'm a bit like Jesus in that I like to spread my message once then move on hahahahaaa. The Ferris article was Nazareth, and this one is Jerusalem. Soon I will move on to Galilee i.e. another thread. Some will reject the good word, others will not. That is the price for being the son of BOD heheheh

@ sextons_on_fire - you missed a vital part of the sentence: "...and considering their reasons for their opposing view." I didn't suggest that you change your mind either, just that you review it and consider an opposing point of view. I note you haven't responded to me or any of the other posters on the Ferris thread and have decided to only respond to me on this one. Why is that?

Sometimes the majority IS wrong (I think bringing religion into a rugby debate is stretching it a little, but I'll let you have it as it's all you've got), but sometimes the majority is right. One could argue that the majority is right, the majority of the time...

I still think your argument that Ferris' character is seriously flawed because he puts his body on the line is nonsense. You obviously believe it's sensible and correct. We'll have to agree to disagree.

As for your "hahahaha" 's, I'm not quite with you. I'm hoping you'd understood that my Terminator comment was for effect only and not a real suggestion. I was also hoping you'd be able to debate with better sense than resorting to Jesus and haha's. But I've learned a little about your ability to form and present an argument, so I'll bear that in mind in the future.

@ sextons_on_fire - with regards to Ferris, you suggested that, "he puts his body at risk even against lowly opposition and that's a serious flaw in his character." and I find that a rediculous and nonsensical argument. My flippancy on this thread was reflecting my opinion.

You're welcome to your opinion, but when almost everyone else is in disagreement, it might be worth reviewing it and considering their reasons for their opposing view.

Is that a proper enough argument for you?

As it proved with even Leinster v the Ospreys, where he went off early, Ross is a huge asset to any team and his absence a huge loss to Ireland...Amazing that he has only a paltry 20 caps for Ireland

@ sextons_on_fire - perhaps Ireland should never pick Ross again. After-all, just like Ferris, he's injured himself. And Ireland should only ever consider super-humans who can never get injured. Is The Terminator eligible to play for Ireland? If not, get him over for 3 years and get him on Residency grounds!

Sadly true Melkdave, either way we need to come back from NZ with a few more ideas about our options in this area.
