Superb kick nothing Frawley could do
Not pick up a YC and made them take the touchline conversion tbh.

He was about 2inches off the ground when he tackled him

The kicking is amazing to be fair

He does the exact same thing there this time penalty to Leinster

WTF?
Is she mentally stable?

Also looks like a good feed wouldn’t do her any harm
Speaking an an Irish person this is excruciatingly embarrassing. It's like discarded footage from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

So good? Make a semi final. Listen buddy, Schmidt hasn't gotten you out of that glass house just yet, so put the stone down, sit in the corner and be quiet. When you get into a quarter final again you may politely raise your hand if you want to speak! :P We're not good. We've been good though. Aust...

These teenage boys must be distraught at banging hot teachers.

The NGOs handing out tents makes no material difference to the situation FFS. People on here will happily point the finger at anyone else but get all up in arms when it’s suggested government actions may have contributed to what we are seeing. Frustrating. They’ve actually done us a favour. The pic...

Why is Izzy in the backrow with 2 backrows on the bench? Where is Baloucoune? I asked Richie there and he sa...

"Economic migrants" is a phrase I also struggle with. Isn't every migrant an economic one? Some just live in shit countries and want a chance of a better life, cf the USA. Others live in shit countries and are persecuted, and seek a better life. I'm probably just being overly pedantic over an attem...

Thirty brand new identical tents popping up overnight. This is being funded by someone somewhere with an agenda. Martin (I think) yesterday stated that camping on public ground was illegal, and any such tents would be removed and their occupants moved on. Hopefully the Gardaí will do just that, and...

Word going back on the international grapevine that when you rock up in Ireland without any papers seeking IP, you end up in a tented camp on the side of a hill miles from any urban area. They get taken to...

We watched a movie called The way which had the actors walking the Camino trail. Quite a good movie actually. This is first time we heard about the Camino way. Anyway we went to Northern Spain (stayed in Gijón but saw Oviedo, Lucano, Aviles, Cudillero, Luarca) and when we were in some of the towns,...

Thirty years ago, life expectancy in Ireland was 75 years; today it is 83 years. And the current cohort have guilt edged pensions. They’re very comfortable.

Yep my estate is full of retired people either couples or widowed, kids long since moved out to the likes of Stepaside or Kilternan. You really see it if you’re ever off work as they’re all still there during the day. The problem is that they have no good option to downsize. Firstly they would lose...

It got me thinking that 2m people would probably have been crammed into far fewer properties 100 years ago and I was wondering where Dublin sat pre famine. I never realised just how 'big' Ireland was back then with regards to population percentage. Over 30% of the UK population in the 1841 census. ...

What about 2006 Edit - sorry see you said past 15 years, not sure why you’d chose that as a cut off It's breathless stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFuVyB0R2hU The greatest try Leinster have ever scored. Arguably the greatest try ever scored in the Heineken cup. Rugby was better back then, as...

Leo's interview excusing the team holding on at the end is exactly why we have no chance against Toulouse No chance against Toulouse? You've beaten them comfortably the last few meetings. I do think they can expose the blitz defence though. We've played Toulouse 7 times in the last 15 years, twice ...

That accident in Baltinglass at the weekend is a real shitshow. The driver of the car is a 16 year old from a highly dysfunctional family with intergenerational alcoholism and neglect. The victim, a 15 year old, is the third member of her family to die tragically. She had another sibling killed in ...

What channel will this be on?

Yes, and absolutely not whinge for this game, but now more teams are taking the full 90 secs it's very clear that 45 would probably be fine rather than 60. Johnny Wilkinson started this bollox, just make the time limit 15seconds and stop encouraging OCD routines and time wasting You can also see as...

10 tries, 90 seconds per conversion - 15 minutes of game time taken up. that has to change.

What?
It's text, what's the problem?
It was a question not an exclamation. What does Connors offer that we need over VDF against Toulouse?

He’s bigger stronger and puts down the big men better

He kept looking back for support because he knew he was too slow, if he just put the head down and pegged it he would have done better

Leinster looked a bit unfit, or haven't played enough- an edge missing. Steel sharpens steel etc. I think/hope Nienaber is using the Bok method of peaking for the final - sending basically a C team to South Africa last week, before he arrived we would probably have sent a much stronger team. Just l...

I'd be interested in seeing Doris's stats because my sense is he had another one of those games he too often has, where he drifts out of games and makes little impact It's not quite a full picture but Doris had the joint second involvements (pass/run) outside the half backs with 21 (Henshaw top wit...

Is it the Nienaber way - just stumble your way to a trophy
