Just wow …. Sam Prendergast to the manor born

Most inept half of rugby from a Leinster team in years - Lions have mot had to try. Pitiful really

Good ole lukey advocating for Jack Boyle to move to Munster on his podcast. My least favourite phrase in rugby circles is 'you can only get better with game time'. It's such a lazy cliche. No, coaching, training, repetition, fitness, practice etc etc.also play a massive role. If any young player th...

According to Cronin interview in Indo, Apparently ‘busloads’ of fans from Highfield rugby club will be there on Friday to support him and cheer on Leicester - lets give them a warm welcome

Actually got the seat map to work … I take it all back re Ticketmaster ……… NOT !! … i really resent paying €3.75 to those clowns

Ticketmaster of course up to their usual sh***…. No interactive map at the start - and no doubt drip feeding the worst seats first - I hate them …
In no hurry to book tickets - at least until seat maps available.. its not like itll be sold out anyway

Certainly I thought the first scrum peno awarded against our "finishers" after they came on was the totally wrong decision. To my eyes the Dragons loosehead was boring into Clarkson at an angle with Adamson on that side of the scrum looking at the pair of them. Incroyable!!! I thought the...

Shame Belvederes competitive season is over after 70 minutes Hope to catch a game or two later in the week. Same happened last year to a very talented StM team that came up short V ‘Rock in first round. I agree though , that for some reason a lot of the ‘Elite’ teams dont get to play in the League ...

Lets not kid ourselves here , there was nowhere near 44K crowd there today … I would reckon a long way short of 40K

There was a huge amount of pressure on Mike tonight. We were underpowered in the second row, and Cian always struggles against Francis. He's had problems with him going back years. In fairness Dave , you DID flag up the Healy V Francis ‘struggles’ in advance of this match . Strangely tho ., if you ...

Cant understand how Ospreys didnt win with their scrum V’s ours

Please let us never have the RB V’s HB discussion any more

Ruddock should put his arm around Harry and ask him to calm down or else he should give him a kick up the arse and tell him to get his sh*t in gear Im fed up people making excuses for HB … this is his big chance tonight , and so far he’s blowing it (apart from conversion) That's harsh. He is feelin...

Indeed- not before time either
the lads can work it out between themselves in the echo chamber

RoboProp wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2023, 9:23 am Can the thread be split?

Big mistake with the song, doesn't look good for the game. Doubt it is intentional however, it makes it no less tone deaf as the Twickenham crowd and Swing Low

Thank you …. The most sensible comment / suggestion on this ‘Rugby Forum’ for a while

Yep, but this guy is of an independent mind and not a fussy guy who wants everyone to know he's in charge. Saw him do a game a few weeks back ( it might have been in SA) and was impressed but found it hard to focus on him. Seems like he has no ego, but reads the game well and doesn't like fakers. H...

Is it Ryle that continually says super?

He’s (a lot) better than cahill….

Identical tackle to the Healy RC one, this time by Warwick on Tualagi …Reynal the ref - outcome No sanction….I give up not identical. Explained by ref, key difference was Warwick was passive. Healy was stepping forward. Healy was also passive - did you not read the report from the citing hearing ??...
