Re: Ulster 2023/24

While I agree that McFarland is a dead man walking, basing an article on what fans are saying on twitter (even reasonable ones like one of those quoted) is hardly the basis for, well, anything. You could write an article on why Farrell must go based on tweets if you were so inclined. Yep bang on. Y...

Re: Leinster Squad 23-24

Rumours out of Munster that Kilcoyne's 6 month shoulder injury will see him retired. Yeah but they'd say that if he didn't have a contract offer and as long as he wasn't about to hit the road. Last year Milne played every URC game after Christmas (11) starting 8 of them and played both Investec Cup...

Re: Leinster Squad 23-24

He could quickly be 1st choice for Munster, which wont happen here. Family have strong ties to Munster too. He's from Birr but his father was Roscrea and you will see more Munster jerseys in that club than Leinster. There always something, always. Even with Salanoa, Limerick was closer in size to h...

Re: A whiff of Cordite

Just been listening to several podcasts from our mainstream media over the last few days and I have to say it really disappoints me that they are not willing to be critical of players (especially when they come from wearing a red jersey) who have a poor performance for Ireland. Maybe I’m wrong but ...

It's that origin thing the URC are running this weekend I think - players allowed to wear their club socks etc. Obviously that's the club Rhys chose to nominate.

Re: 6N: Ireland Italy - Dublin 3pm Sun 11 Feb 2024

… When Sexton first started for Ireland he was slated for his kicking % vs ROG. it cost him a starting place RWC11 vs Wales even though he clearly offered more than ROG in open play. I disagreed with that at the time and I would disagree with Crowley not being selected over say Ross Byrne based pur...

Re: Adidas Deal 2018/2023

the jerseys look dull and grey, they don't look nice, to me the only original thought is the bit of pink in the european jersey and I don't like the feel of the material. to me the gear is very derivative of the Canterbury designs from like 10-15 years ago and I wouldn't be surprised at all if the a...

Re: Adidas Deal 2018/2023

Yeah, the range from Castore is poor. How many other rugby teams don't even have a heavy coat available for winter games? Or, and strap yourself in because this is mad, but maybe, just maybe, Leinster didn't order a heavy coat? Seeing as Castore have a couple of different types in their range that ...

Re: Autumn Internationals 2024

Being as ill informed and behind the times as I am I’m a big fan of duck duck go, it blocks popups and adds and tells you stuff.

I’m fine with being wrong but would appreciate if you’d tell me why 👍

Re: 6 Nations 2024

I don't feel in the slightest bit sorry for the Scots. Nick Berry was perfectly positioned and called no try. None of the TV angles provided conclusive evidence to contradict that. Well done, France. You'll have a round of bellyaching from the Scottish fans now. But who were the ones being outsung ...

Given the obvious performance improvements of U20 Italy in recent years it’s amazing that the Italian Federation is dismantling the underage pathway set up by Stephen Aboud. Very short sighted decision. I don't know if this is 100% true. Didn't the say it was the Irish media setting this narrative ...
