If he has so little control over his body he can't control going for the ball Vs going for the eye he should stand down from rugby period. Just no business playing a team sport if that's his ability level. Or he intended to gouge and should cop a ban. Not the worst bit of gouging we've seen, but th...

Gerry Thornley had an article yesterday saying the IRFU are reviewing the current system. Maybe Leinster scored an own goal by getting Barrett as it's created a bit of a storm. Good man, so. Why don’t we ever poach good Welsh players? Because there are no good Welsh players anymore 😂 https://www.pl...

Let's hope he manages to hold together for more than a handful of matches this time. Surely it's time to let some rich ProD2 club foot his wage/rehab bill by now?

Connacht sell out. Wales are for sale. Most recent average attendance figures I can find are for the 22/23 season, and suggest about 5,000 attendees per game. But that's fine, and in no way a problem that suggests the IRFU are favouring Leinster, because Welsh rugby is in a hole. Ye lads are gas. :...

Here we are, 3 days on, and no citing for Yeandle. Of course I've got no idea of his motivation, but I find it remarkable how people on the internet seem to have: a) Read his mind b) Decided it was easy to perform that at full match pace while clearing a ruck Bit of a nothingburger for me.

I know it's a troll, but I'll bite anyway. Ireland are currently ranked No. 2 in the world, after more than a year being ranked at 1.

Just looking at the squad we had when we won the league to now. Farkingly depressing. 2016/7 Back 3: Johnny McNicholl, Liam Williams, Steff Evs (when was league's top try scorer) and Van der Merwe Centres: Scott Williams, Jonathan Davies, Hadley Parkes - Regan King left at end of prior season FH/SH...

Wtf are you on about? It's not a meritocracy. A province produces players. A province benefits from said players. A province is allowed a fixed amount of non Irish players.

No, the other Irish teams are jealous. I wasn't referring to anything Welsh. They are irrelevant. The benefit of producing quality players and selling tickets to your games.

They can and have done it this season. But not against what is basically an international side. I can only see this going one way. Yep. Saints have had a good run.

Daf and Christ came up short against a more physical pack again. Losing to Toulouse wouldn't be too bad in isolation.

Should be a cracking game. Saints a class team this year. Must be very exciting to see some local youngsters come through? Saints defence would be a worry for me.

Dublin is very expensive right now. You can thank the American tourists with the strong dollar for that I'm curious as to what you think 2 nights in Dublin over the BH weekend SHOULD cost.

Just watched the Toulouse game. Thought the referee did them no favor in the opening moments of the game, but fair play to them, they kept their heads down and went back to work. Willis is an absolute monster and England are wasting him. He can still learn at Toulouse, for example looking up for th...

Hodge is getting a lot of space with the ball. Toulouse centres in all sorts of shapes in defence and getting detached from their wings.

Pity penalty for Toulouse there. Second man in and not supporting his bodyweight. Referee is having a howler.

Dupont does some very ordinary stuff at times. He has a tendency to pick the ball up without really having a plan. Just then he picked up and wandered laterally towards the first receiver, before popping it to him with a defender standing in front.
