Re: Munster Rugby 2021/2022 - Search for the Holy Grail

We watch Lowe coming off his wing to take the ball, Ulster supporters watch Burns running towards his wingers to receive it.....from what I saw the Munster defence could anticipate the Ulster attack all evening (and mostly get set correctly); then Doak decided to change the attack pattern and kick i...

Re: Ireland 2021-22

Howitzer would be a more accurate analogy, but does it have the poetry? Bill McLaren was correct, if not up to date; using commentators poetic licence to compare Hastings kicking to Mons Meg and the heady days she roamed over the fields of Roxburgh, Dumbarton and Norham....

Re: Leinster V Montpellier 16th Jan 2021

I've been successful in the lottery but can't make it so my ticket will be re-allocated. It's safe to assume there will be further availability for those not successful this time. got notified I was unsuccessful, so hopefully the re-allocation might offer up a few more possible..... although Montpe...

Henry McErlean, Zach Baird and Jules Fenelon from Michaels would also likely have made the national underage squads, if it hadn't been for injuries. Michaels v. Gonzaga on Sunday will unveil an interesting form line IMO If Zaga are as good as people expect this year, then this should be a close gam...

Re: Montpellier v Leinster Friday 17th 8pm

I wonder did the following happen..... Leinster name the squad of 23, sometime between that squad being named and this evening it transpires that one or more of that squad are positive. Leinster contact EPCR and say look its only a one or two and we can sub in another C19 free player to make up the...

To be very clear, new French Government guidelines and restrictions on travel and internal flights come into effect at midnight on Friday - not before that time. On the current timeliness, Leinster might be changing on the plane but they could be departing Montpellier Airport before the deadline co...

Re: Montpellier v Leinster Friday 17th 8pm

What happens if both teams independently have an outbreak? Feels like we would win the game of chicken since we probably have a deeper squad and can claim we can field a team. If the EPRC extend the time for Clubs to register new players before Friday expect some big name signings by Altrad Montpel...
