Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Jacob Stockdale and Gavin Coombes will definitely get called up to the Lions. Any moment now.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
I think Williams could be a bolter for the test side if there's any doubt about Gibson-Park. I think he did a good JGP impression off the bench against the Pumas where as Mitchell didn't really do too much. Of the 9's there he's the closest to a JGP type player, not sure he's as robust around the p...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Baird is arguably the best athlete in Irish rugby right now, but for me I don’t think Ireland or Leinster are playing him in a way that gets the most out of him. It’s frustrating seeing Conan or POM pop up in a wide channel when if you put Baird in the same situation he has the gas to turn go-forwa...

Re: Leinster match thread
In a nutshell, too many Leinster players cruising and happy to be there, no sense of hunger or urgency. None of them are scared of losing their place in the squad. No leadership on display in terms of dictating how we play the game. Too often going widectoo early, on other occasions too much one ou...

Re: Leinster match thread

Re: Leinster match thread
Why? Or how? Resting frontline players too much rather than keeping them sharp for the big games, taking our eye off the league and ending up with nothing at the end of the season. I'd be happy to be proven wrong but it feels like deja vu all over again Because a team with little to play for played...

We need to play more frontliners in these kind of games, i think we have rested them too much in the lead up to the big knock out matches. We were putting out much stronger teams earlier in the season but have now reverted to type

Mangan looks a lot more effective than Deeny. Although I reckon Deeny could become a solid second row option

No it wasn’t but the Irish media love to paint Munster as some sort of heroic underdog that always punches above its weight Every game in France and Gerry Thornley does a two page rendition of Joxer goes to Stuttgard, it's nauseating Christ.

I don't really mind all the Munster talk this week but with all the smoke being blown up their holes they really need to back it up this weekend. I don’t get the hype surrounding Munster.

If McMillan has any sense that’s exactly what he say.

You have half the population and produced only a percentage of top class talent (British Lions) in your history in comparison to Ulster.
