Blind arrogance This goes on like this and I guarantee you the game is dead on the island in ten years This is small town thinking. Holding back Leinster won’t help Ulster in the long term Ulster have to look in the mirror and get their house in order You signed a World Cup winning prop that other ...

Utterly pointless signing. Of course, it’ll be funny if Jordie arrives next year, plays the league games during the 6N, and the away games in Safferland, and then, because all our backs are in such good form, doesn’t make the 23 for the Euro games or playoffs. Similarly for Snyman. And by funny, I ...

€200k for 6months probably car and house on top. Not bad for an average pleb but not huge money for a World Cup finalist really, quite reasonable in fact. Good business by Leinster.

wheres he even going to play when you have keenan at FB and henshaw/ringrose at centre-wing?

At this stage we are just buying players so that other teams can’t have them

Duff Paddy

The reason the forward pass was bring discussed was because of an accusation that Dickson favoured us. I don't think he got much wrong to be honest but as I said before, there were a fair few 50/50s that another ref might have gone the other way with. If only we could have transferred a few of them...

I mean great to have but totally unnecessary.
It’s hilarious let’s be honest
Would've preferred a wing or a TH, but Jordie is great for the memes.

Jordie and Snyman is a pisstake but very funny just to see the Munster lads lose their shit

I was at a seminar a number of months ago in RCSI where this guy made the case that if every year there isn't a new record big health budget, then we're up shit creek. With the aging population, increased complexity of care, increased comorbidities etc, it's going to cost more to simply maintain th...

Just came on to post that. The HSE really is a basket case.

Wasn't it that run of KO games in 2003 that really highlighted that Leinster had a support base that could be accessed? Obviously there was a long way to go in terms of actually being good enough, but it showed that people would buy tickets. Went out against Biarritz in the semi in LR with Bommer m...

Didn't Leinster walk through Toulouse last year? It's done. Luckily the comp is dying on its feet so no one will care. It was dying. It’s back with a bang this year thanks to the English resurgence. Not much joy for Munster but we’ll just soldier on without them. Remember the world keeps on turning...

Duff Paddy

Having been a ST holder since the old Donnybrook days, two things in particular drove Leinster. One was 2006 and the win away in Toulouse followed by the disgraceful scenes in and around LR for the SF. I think the team as well as the fans remembered that. The second was the move to the RDS in 2007....

I'm just impressed with his accuracy to be able to do that while falling at match speed.

Lifetime ban for that wit kant

Oh fùck me, the media love in started in 2000, when Rog kicked that conversion in the famously bright sunlight of Thomond Park at 5 o clock on a January Saturday. The point was that Munster got the 2.30 slot prior to the floodlights being installed and kept it. It was the main/only rugby slot on RT...

Duff Paddy

There you have it folks, the Munster media juggernaut was built off playing on Saturdays rather than Fridays. Jesus wept. It's because in 2000 when the Munster bandwagon was beginning, they were the best team in Ireland, the international team was coming out of the 90s and Munster were beating Engl...

Duff Paddy

Answer me this and answer me no more. Why did SKY latch onto Munster as the marketing machine’s dream rather than Leinster? The Munster “journey” started on Rte you muppet. They didn’t have floodlights Not true, but build you're own narrative away. It started on sky before Rte did it :lol:

Tell us more. How did we think about the game pre-ROG vs post-ROG? Go into detail please. He’s created a team where personality is more important than how good a player you are.

Too divisive.

Is it any wonder we’ve have never made it past a QF.

I’m sure the two world cups enable the Saffers to put up with Rassie’s divisiveness.

I see him more as a Roy Keane/George Hook/Franno media troll long term, and I think he does too.

Duff Paddy

Yeah, Radge is a coach playing the game, the media stirring it up are the silly ones. Two sides of the same coin - he fancies himself as a rugby Mourinho. The interview eating the bowl of cereal and pretending not to know who Tracey was? That was the media stirring was it He has won the last two Eu...

How on earth is John Hayes more interesting than Furlong? But the latter will be remembered more for his part in more big Irish wins and his Lions exploits. But decent rugby fans will remember both. And not because of their interesting personalities. I didn't say he was, I said people still remembe...

They look like they have a bit more personality than you're crediting them with. Lowe in particular but because he's so good natured, it doesn't count for you.

Once again, talk of an epilogue. 😂 ROG has two back to back European medals against you in two finals.

If he wants the Ireland job, he’ll have to try a job in Ireland at some point. ROG makes good career moves. Munster is not a good career move. They don't have the players with which he can do anything. Yeah, I can see any coach with ambitions of going higher avoiding them like crazy right now. That...

Boogate would be the perfect epilogue to this saga. The media and pundits, having blown so much smoke up ROG's arse will now have to objectively ask the question: "is he a dickhead?"

Porter, McCarthy, Lowe all have a bit about them but not if you're looking for negatives. Not sure why you would be though. In what sense do they have a bit about them?

Nope. Was at a match against Fiji iirc. You could even here some oul wan over the mic shouting "shame on you" or something similar.
