Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Don't get me wrong - Cork is a fine city to go out in, and the trek to/from the stadium no huge deal for anyone mobile - albeit more shuttles would help (especially on bad weather days). My gripe was less around the game, and more around the clusterfcuk which was trying to get cabs in/around the ci...

Don't think the URC means anything to Leinster, they brought Nick McCarthy off the bench against the turnips. The URC will mean a lot more if we don’t win the ERC.

Re: URCR13 Leinster vs Bulle
The team that played last year is probably the weakest team we've ever played in the league. We'd already secured top spot by then (and only needed a point, I think it was, to guarantee top spot on that tour,), so we sent no one relevant to our run in at all. Some of the same players may be involve...

There is a lot to come from Jenkis. He is lucky and managed to stay injury free. He is one of the few players in World Rugby that can play at four, five, six (seven in SA) and eight. He is a great ball carrier. Sharks can field a mean pack with him and some others that are returning,. They already ...

One takeaway from the weekend for me is Scott Wilson. Every time I've seen him he has been very impressive and he came off the bench and was rock solid against Ox Nche on Saturday. He could be the new Furlong. Don’t think he’s as good as furlong. Furlong when younger was a world class scrummager, w...

Re: Irish Courts: U.K. not a safe country
Never supported the IRA but it was torture, which was pointless when they had so many informers in their ranks. The point I am arguing is Camroc's claim that the British were found guilty of torture. No matter how nasty their behaviour was, nor what anyone's opinion was, they were not so found by a...

The defence forces are hugely under-invested in. The Navy is the worst. They have such a recruitment and retention problem that they can't keep all vessels operational. It's a shambles.
