Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
The general synopsis I am getting from the coverage since our victory is that all the other provinces are at risk of total annihilation by the awesome power of Leinster and the priority for Irish rugby is to somehow make Leinster less amazing. Big turnaround from the schadenfreude of last May. They...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
rumoured they are releasing Gibbons. one leinster centre for another it appears. Presumably Brownlee would go into the senior squad rather than the academy? I think Gibbons was a poor signing. What are the odds of Gordon Wood going into the academy along with Tom? On paper Gibbons looks potentially...

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle
The guy is not so inexperienced that he was in physical danger. Just seemed to me that the LAR TH was refusing to engage properly and tricked Milne into a picture where it looked like he was collapsing the scrum. Certainly for one of the ones I looked at closely. A tight game and I think the ref mi...

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle
Milne has to be tested and he'll have learned plenty. To my very untrained eye, he wasn't being helped by the officials in setting. He was being penalised for taking down scrums that hadn't even properly engaged. To my very trained eye it could have been dangerous for him, not suggesting I played a...

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle
I am not going to go and check but I feel Leinster gave away 4 or 5 penalties in the last few mins when the game was long and truly dead. There was definitely some ledger-balancing and favoring of the losing side in the final 10-15. There were a couple calls in the first half when the game was stil...
