Is David Nucifora posting on here under an alias to soften us up before another raid?

It's Wixfjord, innit.

An identical incident from a few years ago caused The Great One to miss a number of matches due to injury. The gnashing of teeth following this weekend's foul is in marked contrast to the mocking of TGO from quarters at the time for apparently feigning injury (he got up to make a tackle). A sign of ...

I was really disappointed back when JJ went to Northampton and Keatley was kept. At the time I felt that JJ had the potential to be the far better player of the two. His time over there and since his return have shown me that I was wrong, he's never really progressed and at this stage, I don't thin...

Christmas intro-pro times now added, would be prefect for pre-match pints in non-covid times.

Toughest possible start v Montpellier away

Can't remember where I saw this interesting (JohnG maybe?), if smug article from Peter Bracken in the weeks after the Sarries loss. Saracens have been working a lot on an isometric hold, build tension and potential energy and then explode forward type of scrum. Makes sense as they purchased a scrum ...

Such a shame to see the match postponed. Obviously from a serious point of view, it is terrible to hear of anyone contracting this virus, and I hope the effected players and their families are safe and well. But, I have really enjoyed watching Munster over the last few weeks, and the prospect of a ...

The Leinster Google Calendar is back up & running due to popular demand! 1. Leinster matches updated with scores for the rounds so far if you feel the need to check back 2. Leinster's Pro 14 November matches have both the KO times and TV coverage 3. Leinster European matches are still "weekend of" w...

I never get tired of watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFuVyB0 ... e=youtu.be

Oh, to be planning these European trips again....the scramble for hotels and flights before the prices went through the roof....the bit if inside information that gave you the edge....

After living off a stolen English lineout ball for years, I wonder will Peter O'Mahoney get a few more years in an Ireland shirt because he passed the ball against Italy on Saturday.

Agreed. Only time will tell. But as you know, national rugby journalists have their ear to the ground and this perspective was offered to me privately. The journalist has not written to this effect.

Seeing as it's private, make sure you don't put it on the internet whatever you do

Reading match reports, that was impressive from Munster. They're finally following Leinster's example and giving their young players a run of games. Maybe their hand has been forced by the IRFU, but the result is the same - they're doing something that is good for them & Irish rugby rather than just...

Healy needs to move province to get game time

No case to answer. He tackled him in a specific and limited dangerous way.

Wouldn't be surprised if he only got one week. Stuff like that has happened before - O'Connell avoiding a citing after kicking a prone player in the head because Munster had a big game against Clermont coming up springs to mind. Suppose it was easier to brush that one under the carpet because he so...

I see the latest non-Munster player has completed the media training course on how to become a ligind: "Limerick feels a bit like home' - De Allende settling well with Munster"

..... never mind...

Also, can we establish beyond doubt that our jersey does not have, beyond doubt, any link to the old evil empire? All old empires are evil. Evil is par for the course creating and keeping one. Well the red comes from the days when they played rugby with the British army in Limerick. The Redcoats ga...
