Doris signs til 2027

The whole thing almost makes me regret quitting twitter. Almost.

This is another of their favourite tropes that the European Cup was set up for clubs even though it was set up for “representative teams” of the Unions that created the competition. What’s their gripe here? That provinces have too big of a catchment area or something to be considered a real team? T...

No other option when the other three provinces were sh1te!

Is Danty not supposed to separate first before going for the ball post tackle?

Can anyone shed any light on TNT Sports for me? Is that some BT Sports off-shoot or something? Where do I watch the game? BT renamed to TNT Just bought my old lad the season pass for EPCR TV for his 70th, 50 yoyos for full access. Not a horrendous deal, really. Is that not only for challenge cup? I...

10+ years since it was originally proposed... Is that enough to finally make this happen? Fingers crossed they can crack on with it now

Quality. So composed under pressure.

Lovely move!

Anyone know if the quality of the Castore hoodies are as bad as the jerseys?

No Blackrock always had three advantages together that other schools have 1 or 2 elements of but never as much of. - biggest student body - boarding element - large junior school Blackrock will always be good. You forgot 2 things: - budget - very large budget Also history and culture. Don't forget ...

What the f%~k are Porter and the rugby pod at releasing the Loose Cannon comment on Doris in that pod. What was said? Nothing of note. Hamilton/Goode speculated that Doris might be a bit of a loose cannon on the side and Porter kind of laughed along with it. Doubt anyone gives a sh1te (other than O...

Did Netflix proceed with recording the series last Spring? Gatland made it clear that he did not want to give them unfettered access and I understand that we weren't keen either. Was the project quietly abandoned, I wonder? It would make great tv and I, for one, would love to see it especially as i...

The shite Bok fans are saying online about Tom Curry is reason enough to support NZ. Were they always like this or is it trickling down from Rassie? They're the most odious fan-base in rugby by a distance, and with the most odious coach. There's definitely two sides to it. The majority of fans onli...

I'd love to see what Nike would do with leinster - their foothold in rugby isn't big but the jerseys are always class. Nike are odd. Seem very unwilling to commit for any period of time to rugby. Toulouse was their only team for a while then just the Pumas. Seems to be a regional decision on rugby ...

Thanks both. Added to the list!

Decided to listen to the Provincial State Of Mind podcast there, had stopped for a long time but since it's the RWC i'm consuming a lot of rugby stuff this week. My jaysus, it's as bad as ever. Confirmation bias 101. Three Munster fans trying to sound intelligent and considered, but just coming out...

Big Mike, 2 Munster 2nd rows, Healy makes 4. I'm still 3 short

Vermuelen and they could be counting Kitshoff as he's Ulster bound too.

After that I'm struggling.. some random might be playing AIL?

Ngatai

Not at the RWC
