Damn North's ACL

North was only picked at 13 as he wasn’t good enough to get in the wing for Wales.
If we were even contemplating playing him at 13 for the Lions we are even more fûcked than I was thinking we were.

Unless the tour is going to be sponsored by Veet I don’t get why AWJ is even on the plane never mind captain. Ok, you need a bit of experience but I’m not sure they had to look up names in the Bible to find a captain. I’m sure the Boks will find somebody to feel him up a bit. Bakkies might even come...

I’m surprised at Gatland. He can’t drop Sexton if he doesn’t bring him.

Biggest scandal is the omission of Slade

I know it will be winter down there but we aren’t playing them at Christmas.

the Boks are undercooked

Perhaps, though I’m guessing they will be having probables vs possibles kicking the shot out of each other in the run up.

Taking VdM ahead of him might give an inclination re Gatland’s tactics. I know May’s form has been patchy of late but England haven’t exactly been tearing up trees.

I’m not sure that’s a good decision.
He's injured I think.

Ok.

What's all this about Care going? Is he ripping it up at club level 🤔 Amazingly enough- he’s tearing it up. Hogg, Henshaw, AWJ, Biggar nailed on...the rest is proper up for grabs Hogg was appalling on his last outing. Liam Williams is a shoo in at 15. Really? :roll: He’s annoyed that Larmour won’t ...

Unless the Boks are undercooked I can’t see them losing to that squad, though more or less looks like fair pucks on form give or take.

Wyn-Jones Owens, Cowan-Dickie, George Furlong, Sinckler Itoje, AWJ Beirne, Curry, Tipuric, Watson, Faletau Murray, Davies Biggar, Farrell Henshaw, Ringrose, Davies Rees-Zammit, Watson, Adams, Hogg, Williams I'd say those 25 are set in stone. Some interesting choices to make up the remaining 12 spot...

Picking Cooney would be the perfect Gatland two fingers up to the IRFU.

It's our graveyard. Semi finals in France. Yes we had that famous win against Clermont in 2012 but we were at our peak under Schmidt then. Since then three semis in France all lost. We need to win our group next year and hope we get the home path all the way through Irish teams usually don't travel...

We need to start playing rugby again rather than trying to bash our way over from a few metres out. A few line breaks, a little more guile, a little more flair.

Well, obviously to exploit cheap child labour works well across the globe as long as the country is poor enough.

There would be no incentive to invest in other countries either. That makes zero sense. It makes perfect sense. Ireland’s low corporate tax rate is THE major reason why so many foreign companies choose to relocate their business to be based here. Look, I don’t like it either, I don’t think it’s fai...

Sounds a bit Commie. Countries should set the rate that works best for them. Of course you'd say that, your country is a global tax haven. She why don’t other and bigger countries copy us and put us out of business then? That would be a race to the bottom. Which would only benefit the very wealthy....

Strangely, I believe there are no LR fans on this forum.

But the Frenchies obviously supported them

I think their fan base are based in Limerick and Cork

Carley riding Leinster.
Not pinging lazy runners.

Plenty of refs would have called use it earlier.

Who was telling me that McGrath could play SH?

Flametop

Leinster need to take the ref and the TMO out of the equation.

Flametop

Just kick the ball out McGrath.
