Re: EPCR SEMI-FINAL V CLERMONT

Te'o is there ahead of Jamie Roberts, not Ringrose. I know te'o is now being used at 12 but for leinster he was played at 13. No comparison if it's a choice between him and Ringrose at 13. I do agree he's being brought as a bosh merchant aka Roberts. Shame that Ringrose won't go but he would probab...

Re: EPCR SEMI-FINAL V CLERMONT

Saracens sd win it fairly comfortably I reckon. Can't see them giving themselves a 12 point lead to pull back. They will grind clermont down. Here's hoping they get stuffed but not going to happen. Saracens are fitter and manage the game very well at key moments. Love to see clermont win it thou!!!

Re: EPCR SEMI-FINAL V CLERMONT

Fair play to clermont but leinster left that behind them. Saracens will smother clermont and take their chances. Really hope clermont win it but leinster had more of a chance against sarries than them. If it was in France then u might give them a real chance but wity it being in Edinburgh in may it ...

Re: Connacht v Leinster Sat 7:35pm 15.04.17 - TG4

Spot on. Although I rate marmion, I think luke is coming along nicely and has shown he's the right guy to lead leinster for the next few years if he's fit and keeps improving. T o'h would be a great addition but he loves playing for connacht and a lot starts and ends with him regarding their offense...

Re: Connacht v Leinster Sat 7:35pm 15.04.17 - TG4

A move to London Irish would be good for him. They have walked the championship so next year will be a big one for them. Ryan suits that type of game in England. If he can show the form of his early years then he will prove a smart addition to any side. Surprised ulster haven't tried to get him as t...

Re: Connacht v Leinster Sat 7:35pm 15.04.17 - TG4

I never judged his morals. He does come across as a guy with an attitude for some reason. What are his stats exactly? If we are going on tries scored this year, then compare him to o'loughlin. Guy has made more yards and scored more tries. Doesn't mean he should be starting for Ireland (although he ...

Re: Connacht v Leinster Sat 7:35pm 15.04.17 - TG4

I think the ref let a lot go at ruck time. He missed a lot thou. It's good to get a win out west seeing as they seem to enjoy beating leinster so much. We owed them that tonight. They never stop going thou so fair play to them. I think leinster's fitness this year had surprised most teams as they ar...

In your opinion. True, well mine and that of every Top 14 club, all of whom tried to sign him (according to berch) and every AP club with a hole in their salary cap (according to CO'S). The signing of Aki by Connacht was on a par with Munsters signing of Cullen Well let's see where he ends up next ...

Re: Connacht v Leinster Sat 7:35pm 15.04.17 - TG4

Aki isn't a great player. He might be good in the pro 12 but he's not at international standard imo. He gets easily wound up when things aren't going his way and teams will look to exploit that. His lack of discipline is also worrying. Lots of afters when play stops plus he seems to like to say a lo...

Someone shoukd tell aki to keep his mouth shut for good. Why this guy is keeping Ireland hanging on is beyond me!! He's a poor man's henshaw. Leinster had his number both times this season. Schmidt should concentrate in getting ohalloran in the team, not aki. If he's as good as he thinks he is then ...

Re: Joe Schmidt 2017

Well best hasn't lead by example in this 6 nations. He has been poor around the pitch. No turnovers and no ball carrying. Whilst his throwing has improved in the last few years it's always been his achilles heel. When the pressure is on and we have a lineout in the oppos 22 u can be sure best will f...

Re: Joe Schmidt 2017

Spot on. This Ireland team must be the slowest team in living memory. The forwards are as quick as the backs which is ridiculous. Our backs are one paced with no acceleration or quick feet. Zebo seems to have lost a yard or 2 of pace. Even earls when compared to the Scots and English backs would be ...

Joe wants his fb to run into the first player he gets to. Can't tackle and has no pace. Maybe someone shoukd tell Joe that he needs to get in the real world.

Re: Wales v Ireland Fri 10th March 8 05pm

Reasons we lost in no particular order: failure to convert maul giving pen away. 14 pt turnaround. it was 15-9. pen for offside on play after 5 m scrum; on that point - scrum was moving forward; why does Barnes call to úse it'' . He's not the only ref doing this - but its negating a team with a cle...

Carbery is more of a threat than kearney at fb. I'm praying nacewa is fit for wasps as the thought of kearney togging out makes me worry! Guy was good about 5 years ago but he can't tackle and has no pace or footwork. Everything u need a fb to have and he has neither. Please God Cullen tells schmidt...

Re: Wales v Ireland Fri 10th March 8 05pm

Schmidt has to take his fair share of the blame after that performance. How best stayed on the pitch until the 79th minute is a mystery?! He has had a shocking tournament. Same for sob who looks shot as a player. Leavy is miles ahead based on current form. Same for conan v heaslip. Scannell should h...

Hopefully mick kearney gets a decent run out as don't rate triggs at all. Thought kearney, molony and nagle would always be ahead of him based on talent and performance but Leo and stuart must see something different in training everyday. I don't agree with this at all, I think Triggs has been impr...
