4 tickets bought for Tribune - COYBIB!!

We've a hotel room available for the Saturday night before our quarter final. Its £98.50 for the double room and is admittedly some way from Cardiff. Would probably suit someone who was hiring/driving a car, although there are trains from the local station at Abergavenny into Cardiff. Room is not pr...

Rhys looked to have taken a knock right at the end - anyone know if he's ok ? Same with Marty Moore. Aside from the injuries delighted with a bonus point win, and some really good performances from the young en's! JVDF was excellent, and Ringrose gets I think his first try. The Boys are back in town!

just checking again, no spares for italy at all? i live near enough to the stadium so if not i guess i'll walk down and see if anyone's got some for sale. Cat B tkts available at the moment. Do you still have any available ? We bought 2, but they have failed to be delivered (last chance is tomorrow...

Closed for all RWC games

much obliged!

Well observed especially with Tupuric - whilst there were one or 2 well stolen balls, on the whole his hands were either on the floor, or the players under him were taking his weight, yet he never got pinged for not supporting. But on seeing this we should have just got with the program but failed t...

I wonder where Toulon will choose the play the game as it still says TBC for the venue. I guess Marseilles and Nice are the options if they dont want to do it in Toulon. I wonder why they would move it anyhow?

Nope, he is physically unable to stop spilling forward twaddle

2 from Reid, Marshall, O'Shea, McCloskey.
and 2 from Murphy, Marshall, Conan, Diack

Some interesting choices there - always great to see a coach prepared to back young players.......oh how we wish for that at Leinster again.

Team is out: Ireland XV (Squad to play Barbarians, Thomond Park, Thursday May 28th Forwards (15) Michael Bent (Leinster/Dublin University) Jack Conan (Old Belvedere/Leinster)* Robbie Diack (Ulster/Malone) Tadhg Furlong (Leinster/Clontarf)* Jamie Heaslip (Leinster/Dublin University) Captain Chris Hen...

Far more likely that he signed Gopperth as backup and was quite happy to continue with Madigan's development as a 10.
Then THE HAND OF MoC stepped in.

Fixed that for you!

Apparently Paul O'Connell has hinted at going into coaching...

Just sayin...........!

What I find interesting is that MoC is, by all accounts a jolly nice chap and all that, but he worked along side Dick c~*k at Leicester. DC has to be one serious hard case in terms of a head coach, and therefore you might have anticipated some of that steel and drive to have been part of MoC's DNA t...

Have 2 now in hand - dont all rush at once......

I am actually glad it's not on TV other than BBC Alba. I genuinely think we will be beaten no what side we put out, based on what we saw at the RDS last Friday Seasons end can't come quick enough, terrible to be agitated every time we play But if we lose we might have to play a play-off match, drag...

No coverage of Cardiff v Zebre? A disgrace etc. Fanning definitely out, he requires surgery of some sort. D'Arcy likely to miss the game as his missus is due to give birth. That's presumably why there's talk of some academy lads featuring on the bench. Kelleher was involved in the warm-up last Frid...
