You seem to have missed the bit where I agreed that not many are screaming to be involved right now (especially with the likes of Gleeson and Edogbo out). I do think a lot of them are good enough to be involved, however, and the challenge is getting them there in a timely manner. Any indication as ...

Too many aul lads in the Leinster team. No faith in Leo. RO'C being very definite on a split in the Leinster camp, with accusations some players are saying other (more senior) players aren't willing to put their bodies on the line in the URC. Obviously I hope it's true but Leinster have kept their ...

Anyone know of any bars in Boston showing tonight’s match? I'm Boston-based but only just saw this, sorry. Hope you found somewhere to watch it. Couple of possible places are The Dubliner right by Government Center, or the Phoenix Landing in Cambridge. I've recently watched matches in both of those...

Should acclimatize them to Oz

If it’s anything like ‘01 they’ll shiver their proverbials off in Canberra and Melbourne.

No respect for his body.

Not watching live. Did he go off with an injury?

Porter was everywhere, had the Scottish scrum under pressure and played over 70 mins. Himself or JGP for me. They’re Ireland’s two most important players.

Has JP basically put the final nail in the coffin of Munster rugby?

The only thing I remember from the monthly Aer Lingus inflight Cara magazine was the full page Shanahan’s ad espousing JFK’s rocking chair in the Oval Office bar. Funny what you remember.

So effectively Leinster just need to win to get home advantage all the way unless Exeter manage an away win with many tries in Bayonne. As Bayonne are at home I presume they will bother for this one , so a big loss seems unlikely.

You’re forgetting Northampton

Hmm

So yes, Leinster all but through as group winners if Leicester don't scramble a bonus point. Looks fairly impossible to get top seeding unless Bath do the impossible. Leinster could possibly top the group without any match points next weekend if (big huge if) Stade can keep Stormers to a margin bel...

Just go the whole hog like England (& Wales) cricket. SA can join to keep the 6 nations and Cardiff can host an international once every few years.

Dined in Piglet (Cow’s Lane) recently. No complaints with the French influenced food and the substantial wine offering was excellent. The owner hails from Toulouse and loves his rugby.

Currently, Ireland would not survive an injury to one of Porter, Furlong or Sexton. That will need to be rectified before the World Cup. Not sure that it will be.
