Would you ever shut the fudge up about signing players this isn’t soccer ask yourself why your home grown pros can’t execute the very basics of the game

One of my fondest memories of 09 was bumping into a friend on the way to the match and he was proudly wearing his Munster jersey (Clongowes lad, born and bred in Dublin. Statto knows who I'm talking about) and he was all full of it about how My syer were going to win and was I ready for a thorough ...

It's a disgrace. Some of those fans should be forced down to Munster.

Will be a tough week for the media trying to ignore this. If only we could get Munster back, there would be puff pieces galore

So what's the solution here? Cap the number of supporters who are allowed attend Leinster games over the course of the season? Gate fees for Leinster games get rerouted to the other provinces? This kind of success represents a grave threat to Irish rugby and needs to be addressed. A complete overha...

As much as I like Moloney he's not in the same class as Ryan. When was Ryan’s last match? Think it’s really shitty to drop the guy who helped get them to a semi final for a guy who isn’t fit Ryan played in all 4 pool games, got injured during the 6N, and missed the R16 and QF.

NZ can do the draft system easier than us because it's far easier for an Irish player to live in England/France and maintain connections to family than it is for NZers. Take someone like Lancaster, I know it's the other direction but point stands, he never moved his family here. Coached us for 6 ye...

The draft system is a daft idea. Young lads will be shipped off to the four corners of Ireland when they just want to stay in Dublin with their mates, say fudge this and go to France. Also it will dilute provincial identity which is diluted enough as it is. I find the Kiwi system crazy. The three B...

Its a combination of the M50 being at capacity and the closeness of the junctions, and of course selfish drivers. The one that gets me is the guy who, instead of getting into the 4th exit lane good and early, zooms up the outside lane until almost at the junction, flicks on his indicator ( if you'r...

I've said for years that the RSA needs to run a serious media campaign on motorway driving. How to use lanes and overtake. Clear the overtaking lanes to serve the purpose for which they're designed, and it'll eliminate the opportunity for people to choose to attempt dangerous manoeuvres. Agree but ...

Lads has anyone else noticed how dangerous the driving is on motorways the past years. The risks people are taking with undertaking at 130km etc just defies belief.

Assuming they're going sell 60k tickets as it stands... Were they to cut €10 off the cat 1,2 and 3 tickets to 65, 45 and 28 euros respectively they'd lose the guts of 500k...

Keith Wood calling it an end to the punditry, presumably as his son moves into Munster academy. :lol: Loving the cynicism.

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.

There was a 5 year gap between Piutau leaving and signing Kitshoff.

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.
