fantastic performance considering how long he's been out of action, i thought when he first came on a few of the lads were looking after him like prescott, he took a lot of carries up instead of ocarroll, but i think once ocarroll felt confident he started bursting through tackles and making really making good yards per carry.

I was at the Ireland v Samoa game at Parramatta in the 2008 World Cup, which Ireland won.
O'Carroll was the best prop on the field that night against a good Samoa side.

rumour has it he has been linked with hull fc next season

Didnt know he had a drinking problem?

Top class players in that Samoa side. I hope we see some quality team sheets in 2013. Just a shame players like Hayne won't play for Fiji. It would make the comp so much better.

nobody drinks at wigan then?
