Also ROG as captain x( Token dirt trekker captaincy? Lets hope so. Kidney should really just go to Sexton and say, "you're the main man now. But you have to be a leader and perform as a key man. You're starting the 3 tests, one with Redden and one with Murray. No excuses, go do it." Sexton missed a...

Absolutely not. Not being good at rugby does. He is nippy. That's it. The view on here that he is good stems from a couple of cameos where he ran fast and was energetic having come on with 15 or 10 mins to go. I really, really don't think he is good, in absolute terms. I think his pass is ropey, he...

We've beaten Australia and South Africa a number of times of the past 5 or 6 years. I'd say only France has had more success vs tri nations team than Ireland have over the past few years, and even thats debatable Ireland's record looks basically the same as England's -- and England have been largel...

Irelands biggest issue is tackling and giving ground to easily close to rucks.

Leinster don't kick the ball away because they can keep it till an opening or a mismatch occurs,Ireland can't do tha and not just because the opposition is better.

I was talking to an IRFU official be the name of kearney, he reckons the 500 € he gave Terrablanche for the tackle on Cronin was the best money he ever spent.

lorcanoworms

Well that was very f**king satisfying. The absolute best thing about it was Leinster didn't try to change the gameplan one bit, didn't turn it into an arm wrestle, just played the natural game and it worked. Was really hoping BOD would get a try because he deserved one, what can you say about him. ...

The Leinster bench is very and most of those players would start for Ulster or Munster,you can't say the Ulster bench players would be starting for too many other teams out there I don't think any of Leinster's bench aside from Madigan, and even then I don't think he'd cope outside of the Leinster ...

White is gone,you are going to bore us to death about Toner.

It will be interesting to see can Schmidt keep up the good work next season. Two seasons as manager, two HECs. 8) Would you rather Kidney were sacked now and we appointed Mallet or we keep Declan till next Summer and subsequently appoint Schmidt? I'd take Schmidt taking over from Kidney now, if it ...

Watch the match on TG4 now ,it will sicken the feckers to say good things about Leinster.

I am being gracious in victory, have allowed the steak to rest for a few minutes after I burnt the gee out of it.

Oh lordy I am drunk, took me ages to log in there. Watched the game in Drumcondra in Quigleys, great crowd and good bant. Congrats to Leinster, hard luck Ulster.

On sky news they were interviewing Leinster fans,nice enough fellas if inclined to brag.
Total bandwagoners though, I dont think they knew anyones name bar Sexton and BOD.

I don't think the stats re. players capped in the last 5 years is that damning. It's getting there but Ireland have been the most stable of the 4 nations in that period with little all out rebuilding required. We also have a fair few players capped just over that cutoff point. I can't think of many...

Frightening stat. In the five years since Ireland won the under 20s Grand Slam only 3 players have come through to be capped for the full Ireland team (Ruddock, Murray and O'Mahoney). Other nations; SCOTLAND (9) Richie Gray David Denton Richie Vernon Ruaridh Jackson Duncan Weir Matt Scott Jack Cuth...

We have to get as many ball handling forwards on the park for NZ as we can,Might want to look at Mclaughlin and Touhy for the second row. Knowing kidney there could be as many as seven munster hasbeens for the first test. Dont tell me mac and chewey dont fit or go together,I would settle for D Ryan ...

Ah people overstimate Agincourt. I've some good books on it. It wasn;t quite the slaughter people suggest, but it was an important victory in a series of wars England eventually managed to lose, so it's always been a propaganda thing more than anything.
