Please don't start another conversation about school. PLEASE.

can we start a list of who gives zero flyingfucks about how old certain educational institutions may or may not be?

Please do. Put me near the top.

Greg Mcgrath is a Tighthead prop I assume?

Edit: Ultimate rugby says he's a 40 year old prop no less. He doesn't look a day over 39. https://www.ultimaterugby.com/player/view/11547

I predict that this will be one of those games where there will be a massive cloud of steam drifting over the pack, while the outside backs freeze their nuts off standing around waiting for the ball the come to them once every 10 minutes.

iv) In reality we all know Leo and Stu were up all night trying to come up with some reason to avoid this game as we were gonna get hammered. Ever since the Munster v Clermont game the 'rugby world' has reset and the blip in the space time continuum between 2008 and 2020 when Munster won shag all i...

I see conspiracy theories are flying around munster fans. Apparently we faked the failed Covid tests because, a) we were struggling to fill the last two bench slots, and b) we think we have a better chance of winning during the 6N. The story we're giving isn't credible, and all of us "should be asha...

2020 really is the gift that keeps on giving.

This gives a bit of context to the old 'get the fook out'... https://www.the42.ie/rugby/ I think you mean this. Which does explain it. Kearney had a shite time from the press and Ireland supporters who forgot the 6N Zebo played in we won nothing and he didn't score and when Rob came back in 2019 we...

Well it had me smiling anyway, juvenile drivel perhaps but got a 😃 keep it coming!! If you are looking for sensible, rational, adult and intelligent discussion on rugby the Munster v Leinster thread is without a shred of doubt the last place to start !! Now bring on the Ladyboys v Liginds.... I lov...

I'd give Doris and Henshaw the day off. Ringrose could do with the game.

When we next lose a game, it'll be because a team keeps turning us and kicks to the corners. Our lineout is a massive vunerability

World cup draw is in the morning. Am I the only one who had no idea? As usual, the most interesting thing will be the teams we draw in the group, but the most important thing will be who we might play in the knockout stages. If there's a group with NZ & France or England & Australia, then having tha...

That subs bench wouldn't look too unusual in a Lions test team against south africa.

So young. What a wonderful heart breaker of a player he was. One of the legendary wingers. That semi final in 1999 ... He was inspirational. Sad day.

Yes, I fully understand that the plan was to have one of the 2 that left available for selection, but even before the season started it was clear that that was not the case. My point, and you have said it above, is that Leinster are now 1 injury away from having Clarkson as first choice with no exp...

I think Ross isn't athletic enough for this level unfortunately. Just doesn't have the attacking threat and never really has. Shocking performance overall. Lineout poor, attack poor, some braindead decision making (what was JGP at kicking that?). Doris probably the shining light for us. Porter too....

Can anyone explain why Dave Kearney looked so disappointes to have scored that try? His reaction was very odd.
