Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
I like Deegan, always have. But Munster have Ahern/Beirne, POM, Quinn, Coombes, Gleeson, O'Sullivan, O'Donoghue and Okeke for 6 and 8. He's not needed down here.
He'd be a truly excellent signing for Ulster. For being so sound about it, Ulster can send us down Scott Wilson instead.

Re: URC 2023/24 General match thread
Good weekend for Stormers and Munster, with Ulster, Connacht, Edinburgh and Benetton all dropping points. If Cardiff could've held on against Glasgow it would've been a perfect weekend. Ditto Lions. They played themselves back into the play offs. Sharks also jumped from the bottom. If they keep it ...

I don't necessarily think it's a freshness of coaching issue, or even other sides figuring us out.

That coupled with us losi...

I'm sorry that you don't understand the Laws. If a tackler is holding on, it's a penalty. No coaching, no calls to "release". That's how rugby is refereed. Thicker than your rugby team.
