Re: A whiff of Cordite
Hard no on B&I league. 1. Completely devalues European Cup 2. Shafts Italian rugby 3. Destroys league as stepping stone from academy/AIL to Europe to International 4. Over exposes our structures to influences of the Nigel Wrays of this world who have little to no interest in the health of game h...

Re: Pro 14 - General Thread
Whilst we all have our gripes and criticism of the IRFU but there is no doubt that they made a better job of “ the Professional Era “ than either the WRU or the SRU The role and strength of the Provincial Branches must also be recognised and I suppose we were lucky that we had a strong competitive ...

Pat Lam always talked a big game at Connacht, media types seemed to buy into him, always took him with a grain of salt myselfblockhead wrote:Pat Lam swearing blind that Bristol can afford Radradra. Everybody is watching everybody else. Sign of the times.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
One wonders if this could end with Sarries expelled. Yes they have money and titles and currently players but they don't have a big fan base and there are other possible teams who could slot into the prem and/or potential opportunities to grow the game. Thinking a Yorkshire/Leeds based franchise bei...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
Oh what a vindictive and petty writer is Cummiskey. Another full page spread of exaggeration and cheap shots against Joe Schmidt and his coaching of the Irish team in preparation for and playing in RWC 2019. His opinions are flawed and biased and one can only wonder why. Schmidt has brought Irish i...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
Eir analysis esp with Flannery has been far superior to the RTE effort, but Eir match commentary has to be avoided because of Toland. Even Tremenjus is preferable. Tremenjus is a legend. I'd always watch whatever channel he's on – he's a very fair and obviously decent man whose love of the game is ...

Re: Is the World Cup kinda sh*t?
Fiji should/would have beaten Australia but for ref decisions and then that group would have been very interesting, likewise Argentina could have beaten France and were looking good v England but no chance with the red card (right decision but could have been yellow just as easily). Wales beating Au...

Re: Ireland Pool 2019 RWC
Just can't get my head around loosing the line out and physicality stakes to Japan also the kicking was so tactically inept it fed into their hands, we should have comfortably won today there's no excuses for it. What use is Stander at No. 8 if he can't get you gain line against a tier 2 nation? On ...

Re: RWC 2019
Calling it here I think England peaked too early with S&C timing and could be in more trouble to get out of the group then the press are making out, also that many weeks in camp with Eddie J has got to eventually grate

Re: New European Jerseys
Saw some of the new kit yesterday for the first time, even the test level jersey options only have the iron on logos, on top of that the adidas three stripes on the shoulder are now iron on jobs as well, it's incredible how poor the quality of adidas gear has gotten. Few years back their stuf was pr...

Re: RWC 2019 refs
One of the very unlucky guys is JP Doyle, who was, apparently, shafted by Alain Rolland for no given reason. JP is in his prime now and has huge experience in the Premiership and is a referee that Players and Coaches like - but maybe he doesn't follow instructions from above. Very high % of French ...
