Re: Munster 2023/2024 - Return of the Jedi????

Reading I'm not sure I buy the over simplistic chat of "you aren't playing the youngsters". Sometimes you can pour game time into players and its clear that they'll not be able to step up to level required. Josh Wycherley is 24 years old. He's had 66 Munster caps and did the Emerging Irel...

Bigger consolation is LAR getting beaten by 1 by Castre :D
How many URC points do we get from those results?
Yes the consolation concept is lost on me here.

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2

The ref is giving very little in the breakdown. We finally got something there, but the amount of times they’re rolling in front of the 9 or literally holding on to the ball in the ruck is mental. It’s a blight on rugby “no. Lost. Leave it. Leave it. Leave it. Thank you.” Yep, the same every match.

So clear, right in front of the ref. Where's the TMO?

Ross deserved MOTM for me, but what a display from all 23. They made LAR look old and fat.

Jenkins has been really costly. Ross has gone very well I'm delighted to say!

Re: A whiff of Cordite

The42 Monday podcast was a decent listen. Very little of the ROG sycophancy while actually talking about it. A lot of the talk of the upcoming game was very balanced. I thought jackman was a bit all over the place. Couldn’t seem to decide if it was coming to be the players or the coaches that made ...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2

What I’d like- is a considered selection to counter their advantages and- particularly for us to stop messing about in the line out! It was infuriating and embarrassing to watch all that intricate movement come to nothing as- (I think) three throws went to relatively static Leicester players who pi...

Yes, should have taken the 3. Some very sloppy stuff here, huge improvement needed.
