The Leinster ARE producing players for you ungrateful plebs line being trotted out I see. Hmmmm. We're giving a home to your castoffs by and large, so of course you're fine with perpetuating that system. It reinforces the gap. A draft. If there's to be anything other than a pretence at real competi...

Munster don't have any problems selling tickets for exhibition matches involving 2nd/3rd choice players (must be really shit players according to this thread). Ulster have a set of outside backs they have continually misused for years. But they've actually started developing more than a couple of g...

The Jordster or Jordsie?

You know very well only third choice players go to Newport, and Jordie is second choice just about.

I went through it again, Leinster conceded 7 penalties in the last ~15 mins, La Rochelle (I think) conceded 0 penalties in the last 15. Were 4 of those were in the scrum? Either way we've never gotten the better of the penalty count against LaR and that remains the case. Having watched most of it b...

Think you're a bit blase about danger, have you scrummaged in the adult game? I'm not dismissing the danger. I'm just curious why you think Milne in particular would be any more at risk than any other 25 year old prop with decent enough experience? What I have seen so far of him scrummaging in the ...

Luke McGrath came through the game at the weekend with no issues after his return from the Graduated Return to Play Protocols. Jimmy O’Brien will be further assessed this week as he nears a return from a neck injury. Charlie Ngatai will be further assessed this week as he nears a return from a calf...

I was at a seminar a number of months ago in RCSI where this guy made the case that if every year there isn't a new record big health budget, then we're up shit creek. With the aging population, increased complexity of care, increased comorbidities etc, it's going to cost more to simply maintain th...

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...

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...

I went through it again, Leinster conceded 7 penalties in the last ~15 mins, La Rochelle (I think) conceded 0 penalties in the last 15. 3 of those were Milne, shouldn't have been there. They really do give away a lot of penalty's when the oppo are going nowhere. Milne has to be tested and he'll hav...

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...

He has been really really good the last while. Delighted for him. His rucking is really strong. Gets right under people and clears out really effectively.

Most of the Lunsters were sons of Munster's or originally from Carlow, Ofally etc.
I got pressie of Munster stuff and used to hand it off to my in laws.

And Northampton were deadly when they won in Limerick. Now the narrative is being framed so that it's a massive underachievement if we don't pump them. It's so fúcking transparent. :roll: Saints were deadly? GTFO. They were competent and that's all they needed to be, given our well known and many s...

That's a completely different situation, other than there was booing. Not sure of the relevance

Because Munster types are always pompous about booing.

Once again, talk of an epilogue. 😂 ROG has two back to back European medals against you in two finals. Yesterday wasn’t some deciding day for the rivalry, Leinster needed to win to even call it a rivalry. You have won nothing yet.

Boogate would be the perfect epilogue to this saga. The media and pundits, having blown so much smoke up ROG's arse will now have to objectively ask the question: "is he a dickhead?" Exactly. When he was winning he could get away with it. After a hammering he just looks like a dick. Munster started...

Not missing a lock, Sazy retired so in the same bracket as Sexton.

Wardi, Bougarit, Dulin vs Ryan, Ringrose, JOB is pretty even.
I would prefer Tommy O'Brien to Larmour.
he is injured.

It's a wish list.
