:oops: Full paragraph: "All male and female players in the XVs and sevens games, including the academies, are centrally contracted to at least some extent by the IRFU. Accordingly, they can all be called up to training sessions, development tours, A games and so forth. Deducting the 12 to 16 pl...

That’s not fair, being upset and posting online doesn’t make someone a scumbag. Would appreciate if you could rescind that comment I echo the view of OSS on your description of that Munsterfans poster. Expressing his or hers opinion on attendance at Ireland games doesn’t mean he or she is a scumbag...

Priceless stuff. Leinster replace Ngatai with Barrett so.... Waterfordlad I've been a member of Irish Rugby Supporters Club since 2008, mainly for access to tickets/events. No more, I'm done. The power of one. It's a small thing at 50 euros a year but I'm quitting on principle. I'll still support M...

Yup, I’ll miss Molony. Great servant to the province

Welcome aboard Jordie

It would mean sending a bigger squad and paying for extra flights. Not everyone can afford a week in Fota to save 6 hours travel time. Jenkins has played 3 weeks in a row, 15 games this season and with Ryan gone we're tighter at lock. The only upside is that he'd be glad of a trip home. If we don't...

Interesting rumour circulating about a very high profile signing coming up for Leinster It'll annoy the hell out of all the right people One would imagine a Tighthead. I can't see where we need to fill a gap unless we're looking for a Ngatai replacement also I heard Antoine Frische may be finishing...

Can we have two threads next time? 1. Leinster v Northampton - Rugby only. No ROG, no Munster, no commentary on journalists or social media comments unless and only to the extent that they refer to tactics, selections etc. 2. Leinster v Northampton - Whatever. ROG, Munster, commentary on journalist...

Yeah- but seemingly no one else’s it… or TV recordings have it on tape. It does, however, explicitly record that he’s not fond of the notoriety, which answers the question asked, no? Who , other than just possibly a sociopath, would actually be fond of notoriety? Doesn’t really answer anything. All...

McRae dislikes his notoriety? Id be interested to read more about that if you can point me toward any interviews https://www.balls.ie/rugby/he-did-something-i-saw-red-duncan-mcrae-gives-interesting-interview-on-ogara-incident-83754 Edit: And here's the quote. ‘He and I know what happened in there. ...

Yea but my point is that Leinsters influence on the national team was less. They had never won a Heineken Cup, they had maybe 4 or 5 starters. Munster had probably 9-10 starters for Ireland. Now we have ROG who is hated by the team with a dozen Ireland starters. A lot bigger issue than Deccie. I ge...

I don't really buy this idea of ROG as a cheque book coach. He joins La Rochelle ahead of the 2019-20 season with Jonno Gibes as his Director of Rugby. Then he becomes top dog for the 2021-22 season. He certainly hasn't signed most of their best players. Botia and Atonio are over a decade at La Roc...

I don’t think that one bears scrutiny

Will Connors, what a performance. Everyone deserves someone to love them the way that man loves tackling…

Match Preview Once more unto the breach, dear friends! For the fourth season running Leinster will meet La Rochelle in the knock-out stages of the Champions Cup. And it's fair to say Leinster have had their fill of La Rochelle at this stage. There have been three heart-breaking defeats, with each o...

I can't believe you forgot Jamie Hagan

Oh and Cian Kelleher

Tbf, I’d imagine you’re one of the few to remember Cian Kelleher - is he doing the Leo the Lion gig now?

You can add Jamie bleedin Hagan to that list
