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...

Nice stadium in a hole of a place to get to. Probably more than double the walk from thomond to city centre pubs etc. Bar the marina market there’s fudge all down there.

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.

The team that played last year is probably the weakest team we've ever played in the league.

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.

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.
