Im sure he was not just ‘dropped’ as captain.

  Agreed. Nobody get’s a guaranteed captaincy, so each time a squad is announced, the captain is too. Nobody gets ‘dropped’

    Also, probably discussed amongst the players, like Leo taking over for Leinster.

      Brian O’Driscoll plays Rugby
      
      Jamie Heaslip plays Rugby
      
      The Six Nations is a Rugby competition
      
      So he has been dropped as the Irish Rugby Captain.

Learned a new Irish word the other day: ‘bod’
“An t-orgán atáirgeadh fireann.”
or in English: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bod#Irish

I’m sure BOD is happy enough with the decision. Gives him more time to focus on his own game like he does in Leinster. Could be his last year too so good to bed in a new el captain

  Is it busy in Ashton’s? Any room to throw the beamer into the cor pork?

Heaslip was captain in November, he’s still captain now.

O’Driscoll hasn’t been “dropped” as captain, he just wasn’t re-appointed.

Newstalk are wrong here.

please god we get more tweeted pics from heaslip of his dog now….
Lunar Lupin on January 17, 2013 at 10:45 am said:

Meh, cant be captain if he’s not in the squad, he’s in the Wolfhounds squad, also takes some pressure of his shoulders coming back from injury when he’s put back in the squad first game. Smart man-management from Kiddo.
- frillykeane on January 17, 2013 at 10:48 am said:
  
  Kiddo.
  
  Nuff said

    Does somebody have a massive chip on their shoulder about Rugby? Tell us about it?

      Don’t mind Frilly, he always gets bolshie about rugby, he prefers amateur games like GAA and scrabble.

        i prefer gaelic football, but rugby is good too, can’t we all just get along?

        Is Frilly not a she?

        Ah now A.O.P.C.
        Moss OCarroll Kelly’s made a handy living out of the same carry on
        
        So how many did I catch today?
- Carmex on January 17, 2013 at 11:02 am said:
  
  The squad announced was actually a joint squad however he will likely get gametime with the Wolfhounds.
  
  Don’t joke about Kidneys man-management. If he had any ROG would have been dropped a season+ ago.
  - Oldmanfitz on January 17, 2013 at 12:50 pm said:
    
    True enough
    
    pity Rog had to see himself out of the squad with his little temper tantrum the other day. Probably have a few weeks ban coming at him.

Who?
- Daithi on January 17, 2013 at 10:59 am said:
  
  Ok, it’s time for us to decide on the name here.
  
  How are we going to settle this?
  
  These comment sections ain’t big enough for two Daithis.

    I’ll add the first letter of my surname to the end and you do the same.
    
    (Unless your surname starts with a G)
  - Daithi on January 17, 2013 at 12:27 pm said:
    
    Or I could fight you for it!

      Put down your dukes. I’m adding an ‘F’

  Handy if he gets injured so.
- smokeybear on January 17, 2013 at 1:35 pm said:
  
  Heaslip was a bad decision for captain. He is after 2 poor seasons as a player.

      Just captained Leinster through their worst run in 5 seasons. AWOL since the world cup. He is a great player just off form recently. Captaincy does not suit every player. Having said all that I’ll admit that I am struggling to think of an alternative. Kearney maybe…..

      and suddenly you’re insufferable. And not just because you don’t like rugby, more because you feel the need to tell us.

        Suddenly? No, I’ve been that way for a while…

Rugby is a great game. Some of the fans bore the arse off me because they are like multiple clones of each other. They could all wife swap and none of them would notice any difference.

I would have thought Sexton would make a good captain.
