Kidneys reign will probably come to an end at the end of 6 nations but new coach will have plenty to do, too many basic errors for too many years by players who should be doing better, kidney has ultimate responsibility but players are not beyond reproach either. You have an interesting signature. ...

Overall we need changes, today disappointing day but still in with shout of title. Given 90% of the rugby you've seen since 2010 what inspires you to think we can still win this? We're starring down the battle of one more defeat in this Championship. not without hope ,thats my point, we should eat ...

resignation announced ,breaking news

Kearney will tour but i think injury is the only thing that will stop 1/2 p from starting at 15 for lions. super player and will be one of first names down on team sheet

Think there should be 5-6 changes, i think bod will and should be rested,would go with darcy mcfadden in centre althogh marshall is an option here too. earls to wing instead of zebo (injured) ,kilcoyne for healy (will be cited) . I think henry pom and sob should be the backrow controversial maybe bu...

Very disappointing game overall, we never got any momentum even with js on the field we looked ponderous and england managed us very well defensively. Sob ross and pom were for me our best players, healy was indisciplened and will be cited for stupid stamp. jamie had game to forget and should have b...

Havent commented on the "other" threads re conway but i think he is a good signing for munster although i would rather see luke o dea given more of a chance to establish himself. i suppose it will increase competition which is always a good thing. one comment on the other threads, while th...

its good news IMO if Earls is out, remains to be seen though if management get over their notion that Ferg is a winger not a centre McSharry a bit one dimensional I feel too re Ross bit hard to target a prop like you would say a flakey 10, all they can do is try to wear him out. if they start Hartl...

amazing display from Italy , they were passionate and committed, the speed of their game and quickness of thought really messed with the french players heads , they defended very cleverly also , fair play . this result opens up the championship big time for Ireland and England ,bit early to say but ...

I think people are being a bit unfair on Earls. Obviously his arrival turned the game in Wales' favour, but its not because he was poor, its because Davies is extremely good, and only BOD could contain him. Earls coming in took BOD out of Davies way which allowed him to make hay. Agreed, but then a...

Rte reporting ross pom ok, darcy to have sca
n but management dont seem too concerned about all 3

C'mon Jamie heaslip lead us to a win , nervous as hell but think win is on the cards , Zebo for first try Did you back him? Yep! delighted with win today, best, bod and sob outstanding, hopefully ross ok for next week and hopfully scotland tear into england and rough em up a bit for next week. pom ...

If he's [Luke is, two posts came in while writing this] playing down South both of those problems would suddenly be fixed! Honest. I just down't know any more. I don't like to see players see through a contract injured and then move as soon as they are fit again in any sport. I don't think players ...

not cronin, someone else fifz the bill apparently

I guess we will haveto wait for the book to see the whole story. Seriously though from ireland and leinster point of view it is developing into a shambles in the way it has been handled. I dont have a clue what is the real story but it has to be unsettling for the irish team as a whole a week before...

Probably Hagan, who's under contract for another season, but that doesn't seem to matter as much, judging by the Conway deal.

Not hagan or bent from what i have heard.

Sexton to... Leinster interesting , no statement from JS or from club that has reputedly signed him. Maybe its all a bluff and the IRFU gave him a deadline to sign on or else we issue a statement . Or maybe the deadline came from JS , offer me this by such a date or else. Either way it will all com...
