Re: 6 Nations 2024
Furbank an interesting selection; Steward dropped? Furbank could be a second playmaker (which Steward isn't - he's great in the air but a bit one dimensional). Borthwick probably trying something different. Meant to ask before: but what is Sinfield doing if he's not defence coach. Two weeks ago the...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
Don't have to imagine it, I can still remember it Michael Bent? Yep. Personally I'm shocked and not a little dismayed that an Irish qualified player brought into the Irish system to play for Ireland has been selected for Ireland I know you like your little smart quips Dave (which I personally find ...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
As BR8 says TOT should be rightly cheesed off; from what I've seen he's much better than OJ. He's been good in the tight, and has demonstrated (in tests) good speed, and hands, and decision making. Lets see how Ollie goes - good luck to him.

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
I think the bench with McCloskey/Murray the only backs is a big risk. Looks like Henshaw is covering 15,14,11 and Aki 13, Frawley 10 with Stu coming in at 12 and indirectly covering all back positions except scrum half. Yep. As GT says in his IT article; no obvious cover for wing with either JCB or...

Re: Irish U20s 2024
Not surprised Spicer gone. I'd never seen the guy play, and his reputation (or at least size) preceded him on this forum. I'm sure it's tough for the lad but he was anonymous v Italy, and mediocre v France. Hopefully he'll bounce back. He struck me as very slow and no dynamism. Young it goes without...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
One thing that hasn't been commented on about the updated squad announcement is Ross Byrne not being brought back in. If he was actually our #2 he'd be straight back in. Performance at the weekend was a bit ropey though and I'd say he might not fall back down the Irish pecking order despite being L...

Looks like Isa to me; his way of carrying the ball, and high step.

Re: Connacht 2023/24
Jackman "Connacht need to push on now for the bonus point" . They just scored their first against 14 men (13 at one point) on 62 mins to go 12-13 up. What's he smoking?

Re: Leinster vs Benetton, Feb 17th, 2024
26-0 in 2nd. Treviso absolutely dire. Turner did well as did Russell. I wonder if we will look back on today as the day Sam took over from Ross. Probably not but it'll come very soon Russell was poor I thought. I think he's a bit at sea with his role in Nienabers def system. He also had lots of han...
