Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Not quite sure of the logic of the two Connacht signings - Lassisi and Murphy? Lassisi will surely be behind both Aungier and Bealham - is he much further behind at Leinster, or is it just the offer of a senior contract. Likewise Murphy - he's already had a good few games for Leinster. In Connacht ...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I thought Baird was excellent :? Lads got cocky and loose in the 2nd half. Could very easily have lost that one. Still, Tampon are a good side. Great to survive the comeback and make it through. Got lucky with their missed penalty kick to touch, other than that they kicked much better than Leinster.
