Was anyone ever poached form the Munster academy? You make a great point. The only player I can think of is Dillan, and he was sub academy but offered a full academy spot by Connacht. Munster have done a great job of retaining players. Or nobody wanted them? Sent from my VOG-L09 using Tapatalk

Let's hope he isn't being held back for the France game

Can anyone explain how Wade didn't get carded for the deliberate knock on at 59 seconds. Agree - happened right in front of me, I assumed it would be a definate penalty and yellow card. The touch judge who was standing 10m away and had a clear view of the incident, bizarrely gave a scrum to Racing ...

And on it goes...Monday night Rugby, 30 mins waffling on about them! Then a short discussion about our scrum , no plaudits, Osborne is 'not big enough" for Ireland. Seriously contemplating not listening any more to the sh**e Made that decision months ago. Pathetically one-eyed. +1 Sent from my...

Yep I think Racing's need for 4 tries and a win is both dangerous but could also play into our hands a bit. They're not a typical French team in that they haven't a monstrous pack and their scrum/lineout isn't brilliant, so I think our forwards could take them to the woodshed like in Le Harve. Jenk...

Memories of April 2021 - Leinster went to Sandy Park for the EPRC QF and gave Exeter (the reigning champions) a hiding. Ulster also won away to Northampton in the challenge cup QF. Munster had no game that weekend. The following Monday night, almost the entire OTB programme was about some middle age...

Match Preview Leinster are back in European action this week and they face an awkward trip to the South West of England. Last week Leinster had some good preparation in a properly tough match. The Ospreys largely laid waste to the Leinster scrum and made their life a misery at the breakdown with th...

Skivington saying it will be full strength for the weekend. Good stuff. Massive chance for Osborne in particular but also think Ross Byrne, Big Joe and Baird(probable) can really strengthen their case for the Ireland camp. Which brings us to the replacement front rows. Maybe their biggest game of t...

Wasn't PO'C the same when he kicked Dave Kearney in the head? These disciplinary processes will be the same everywhere. Nope, POC wasn’t even cited. It was a f%~king disgrace. if I remember correctly, at the time O’Connell wouldn’t even acknowledge he’d done anything wrong. Dave was taken in the ai...

Farrell gets a 4 game ban, reduced to 3 if he does the tackle school so back in time for the 1st 6 nations game, now there's a surprise....

According to Birch, Johnny is back for the start of the 6 nations. Could have been a lot worse.

Thought I saw Tommy O'Brien taking part in the warm up last night, would be great to see him back soon.

Sounds like the expectation is that Connacht won't have Hansen, Aki & Bealham playing. Although that may not be correct as Connacht haven't played them in Europe. Aki played Brive. He hasn't played a lot of rugby though. I wouldnt think there's any issue playing them and Connacht will like thei...
