No foul play per Brace. I thought that was a leading shoulder

Looked like dirty play there against McCarthy.

Will this add some spice to our encounter on St. Stephen’s Day? Having looked at the relevant thread on Munsterfans I’ve concluded that some posters there are pretty strange. Talk about a fit of the vapours pertaining to a player that Munster are letting go thus making him a free agent. As Snyman’s ...

Telling Premiership supporters that their salary cap is a construct of their League’s making, as I have done countless times on various rugby fora, just runs off them like water off a duck’s back. For some strange reason they don’t hold it against the French that the French salary cap dwarfs it’s En...

Anyone else notice having problems downloading tickets, My games seems to have disappeared from the APP, with now a link which doesnt respond. This message from Leinster Communications Problem thread may help: "There's too many glitches with the Leinster online stuff. I just checked the websit...

That was some atmosphere against Montpellier alright. To say their supporters were put out by the result is to put it mildly. I remember being accosted by two of their supporters immediately after the final whistle who enthusiastically informed me that I was “un voleur et un bataard”. Why they direc...

Like other supporters I was concerned about this game given our fitful performances in the run up to it. But boy, did our lads collectively raise their game several notches today. That result is so important psychologically in stopping the run of defeats to them and to do it in their home ground was...

Given the difficulty we endured getting past Connacht in the recent interpro this only adds to my sense of foreboding about our forthcoming match against LAR.

Such has been the mountain of errors and very poor game management in the last two matches, that although we won it’s difficult not to feel very concerned about LAR next week, even if they haven’t been going well either. Having said that, our lads played to the final whistle and conjured a a match s...

Is that two crooked throws by Barron?

Dreadful game management!

Must say that Juan Imhoff’s opening try for RM seemed to be the product of a wildly forward scoring pass.

32-10 now!

Our handling generally and our game management were very poor tonight. A fourth consecutive loss to LAR beckons if we continue to play so passively.

There’s only ever a sliver between civilised behaviour and barbarism. The racists in our midst who seized upon today’s event to stoke tension for their hateful ends were quickly joined by avaricious, feral, scummy thugs who took the opportunity to take what wasn’t theirs while terrorising those arou...

I loved listening to Cooke’s Letter from America on the BBC World Service when I was in my teens. The man knew how to craft an arresting sentence. I always loved when he started with reference to something utterly American and finished with something contrasting or parallel in the UK, and in the in...

LAR have finessed their way past Bayonne by 18-15.

Shocker of a pass from Connacht’s SH has sunk them there.

Not sure Prendergast grounded that!
