Has anyone here actually watched the 6N? Heaslip had a poor game against Wales... But so did almost everyone.All games since he has played very well.

O'Mahony played well enough but not good enough to dislodge a fit O'Brien. But I do agree with Bluelion that recovering from the foot infection should be given another week

Having O'Mahoney in the back row would be better for balance purposes. We have been too ball carrying orientated I believe. How about try SOB as an impact sub?

Rubbish!!! O'Mahoney was playing against a poor scottish side, whereas O'Brien played a blinder against France, putting in some huge hits and forced many turnovers - and then got substituted for his trouble, another coaching masterstroke by Kidney hahahahaha...O'Brien is European Player of the Year for god's sake... O'Brien out of form??? Leinster are HEC favourites once again and well top of the Pro12. POM is a good player don't get me wrong but let's face it he doesn't hold a candle to the Tullow Tank BOOM hahaha

Put him at 8 and keep O'Mahony at 7. Drop Heaslip who's been poor for a while now. Although this is forward thinking and Deccie isn't known for that!

Totally agree. Plus he has a point to prove now too, he has had a poor 6N and will want to go on the rampage in Twickenham, expect to see him bulldozing through the so called "formidable" english defence.

Keep inform O'Mahoney for seriously out of form O'Brien.

That couple of kilos might just tip him back into form i thought he was carrying a bit more weight this season and it was making him slower and not able to find as many weak shoulders in defence
