You’re really proving your point with all these names tbf I don't presume to know everyone's ancestry and at this stage scrum.com isn't much help either. But from my experience growing up in NZ there are a lot of people I know who've been eligible for ancestry visas when on their OE's and I don't s...

Noel McNamara now please.

Why?

It's not as though he has lit up the URC with sparkling rugby. It's even hard to see that he has improved the skills or game awareness of the Munster backs.

One award that should be easy- Coach- Simon Middleton by a long way. Easily! :thumbup: :nod: Win today and they equal the world record winning streak in women's international rugby. And then to take the record next year they'll play Scotland, who they buried 52-10 in 2021. Quality outfit hopefully ...

I just wondered how this thread has gotten this far without mentioning the 1970s film that absolutely defined an entire era in a way that no others did: Saturday Night Fever.

3rd game should at least give us a rounding up of the team's form and how sustained it is.

You have to hand it to Covid, it’s one hell of a successful virus. Basically ripped through the entire human population in a few years.

Months!?!?!?

Stuttgart 88 is still as fresh as yesterday. Not to mention we still perform the play about Munster 78.

We're only warming up.

Is the actual proposal anywhere to be read? It would seem straightforward to exclude residency cases here - you are offering a 'waiver' so to speak, so you could determine the conditions of that waiver. For me, the spirit of the proposal is to allow disadvantaged nations access to players who are e...

Jesus. Leinster have only won the European Cup and 4 league titles on the bounce in 6 seasons under Leo. I don’t know how we’ve put up with such spoofery for so long.

But remains at Leinster. I disagree. Leinster haven't progressed 1 cm under Leo Cullen. They beat up the poor teams and come up short against the elite. Key players have regressed (Ringrose, Ryan, Larmour, Lowe), new entrants from the academy burst onto the scene & quickly stagnate, and the collect...

United obviously have problems with defense and midfield but their main issue is their lack of work ethic and desire to win the ball back.

Their fans have it by the bucketload though, the fire alarm in Atalanta's hotel went off 5 times in 3 hours o/night.

Quality first episode.

Wow.... Thornley with a piece critical of the IRFU. Miracles DO happen! Stating that the irfu permanently screws Connacht as did the officiating team against munster with the clear offside.
