Jury service. Advice on not getting selected. Show up looking like a scrote, so the prosecution veto you? Show up in a suit, so the defence veto you?

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Looked at the team and thought 'that's probably the best 23 Ulster have put out all season'. No surprise to see eeyore complain. :roll: The back 5 of that pack is absolute wank. Apart from starting McNabney instead of Rea and Sheridan instead of Treadwell there isn't much else we could change for a...

Over 40% of Postlethwaite's starts have come at 13.

Both 22 and both toured with EI. Plenty of time to prove themselves. Postlethwaite doesn't stand out as much as lads like Marshall, Olding, etc, did at that age. It still needs some explanation why Cooney is there ahead of him. Only thing that makes sense is that they want a more pure 13 in the squ...
