+1 for that reason, that it's in-jokey while still being inclusive if you don't know it, and that anything with PlanetRugby in it will be a no go-er

My friend said that NordVPN are aware of it and looking in to it. That Aus worked for Pro14, but doesn't have 6N/Super Rugby rights. The usual RP Zone 1 (HK, Singapore etc) didn't work for anything ("Geo Blocked"). He said he contacted NordVPN support, they acknowledged they are having issues with ...

Sorry to poke my head in, but does anyone have a handy one-click link or list summing up all the gobshites, murderers, bombers, criminals, reprobates and generally dodgy types that SF have managed to get elected to the Dail? Thanks

Now this thread is much more like it. Like an old warm blanket...

NZ should rest absolutely everyone they can for this, anyone who started the last game - they will learn nothing about combinations or playing players in to form etc because this is going to be nothing more than a glorified training exercise. Handy doco on the state of Canadian rugby here: https://...

Wow. As much as I love Fiji and Fijian rugby (and they are my 2nd side in this world cup), that was wonderful to see and I was cheering Uruguay on by the end. Huge upset, massive win, this is part of what makes the RWC special

Ewan McKenna is an anti rugby troll who is despised in irish rugby circles(ask any of the swarm). Shame on you Ali for taking his side but I suppose game recognize game....smh. He doesn't even live in Ireland(Brazil IIRC) and takes every opportunity to shit on it's sports teams etc. Deserves to be ...

It’s fcuking hilarious that Saffers think that we’re targetting their side in preparation for a potential aqf meeting when the reality is that the likes of Kimmage, who is not a rugby writer, has used the photo to bash rugby in general, and Irish rugby in particular. He has been on a crusade about ...

All I said is it's weird the number 1 team at home vs the 4th ranked team is a heavy outsider, the number 1 team at home should be the favourite every day of the week. Not a comment on your post, only JTB's follow up (should have edited yours out)! But re your point: odds do not reflect the reality...

LeinsterLion

So I see Ireland are favourites at the TAB, weird. You'd think the number 1 team playing at home vs number 4 would be favourites. Ireland have over a third (9) of their first team players in their 23 (Aki, Stockdale, Ryan, POM, Henderson/Toner, Best, Furlong, Ringrose and Kearney). Wales on the oth...

Argentina home jersey is class. Scot's too. Collars :thumbup: Fiji's is a beaut Yep, at least there are some little details that are very American on that jersey. The English and Irish ones are just boring. I'm not saying it's a good jersey, but because of the shit photos everyone seems to have miss...

Class response from the Glasgow crowd to Best going off

PS. Fcuk you all and your avoidance of club rugby (and BC club rugby in particular). We won our first ever title, and all your steadfast ignoring of the end of season results changes nothing about how fricking awesome that it. So

LeinsterLion

Yes, and Leinster in August in Hamilton (aug. 24). So, by my admittedly shoddy reckoning, this means that as a run-in to the rilly big shewwww, they'll have the following matches: Jul. 27 USA (Glendale) Aug. 3 Fiji (Fiji) Aug. 9 Tonga (Fiji - not sure if Rugby Canada has this correct) Aug. 24 Leins...

LeinsterLion

Yeah, that's all relevant if you ignore the difference in buying a team v developing one I suppose. Which would be to miss the point made when the spivvery was mentioned. But there you go... So why didn't Leinster develop a wing and a 6 instead of signing Fardy and Lowe? The systems are different. ...

LeinsterLion

Is money really a factor here ? I would be surprised if the value of Leister players in their squad on the open market wasn’t on par with Sarries. Sexton, Ryan, Furlong etc am sure would command big bucks. Of course the setups would be different, , but surely Leinster must be paying well to keep th...

LeinsterLion

Fini was supposed to mean it, but I will answer your post (even though this theme has been done numerous times over the years) and then that is it for me with Canadian rugby. Of course PP players comprised a number of players on the 99, 03 and 07 RWC teams. Back then you had to play with the Pride ...

More importantly, it was good to see this in the press release: "With a view to improving Canada’s world rankings, and an understanding that success as a nation is tied to the number of players who are exposed to elite competition on a regular basis, Rugby Canada’s ambition is to increase the number...

LeinsterLion

It all will depend on their set up. A U23 side playing in the CDI is a very good start. Ideally a U23 side will help bridge the gap between club rugby and MLR rugby (Toronto Arrows and a future Vancouver franchise). That will go a very long way to stop the bleeding in Canadian rugby. They will play...

See, you're still not letting yourself be praised or be proud! :lol: That's understandable. But from the outside looking in: "though in fairness" nothing. You got out. You did right by you. That wasn't easy - even more so after 6 months of grinning and bearing it. Good on ya. And yeah, do lean on an...

LeinsterLion

Horrific, isn't it? Sadly was inevitable that something like this would happen, and it has. In what would have been in a very high profile way which may have finally been a push for change but for the fact the footage won't be and hasn't been widely seen.

LeinsterLion

Now that I have your attention through the use of a ridiculous thread title, why do you think it is that WR are clamping down so hard on an admittedly potentially dangerous action while continuing to turn a blind eye to bodies flying into rucks in clear conflict with the Laws of the game? Just in r...

Shit Everready, that sucks but you go this. You'll kick the big C's ass. Having had a few friends in similar situations I will suggest one thing: when things are tough (and there will be times), don't just bottle it up and pretend everything's ok. Even if it's just to vent on here, on this thread, l...

LeinsterLion

At least you're honest

Only pulling your leg, I know what you meant was nothing going on at the elite level until summer. But still, plenty going on elsewhere

LeinsterLion

So nothing going on anymore in Canadian rugby until the summer? Feels like it. Eh? I know a lot of posts on this thread (and many posters bar moosehead) show little or any interest in the club game past the top and who can or can't make it to the elite level (despite the work some of you do in the ...

Not so much in names but English is also not orthographic just as Irish isn't.

In honestly I still think see-oh-barn whoever I see the name spelt. I always find it weird when people are surprised at Irish name spelling. I mean, no one bats an eyelid at the "weird" pronunciation of French names, for example, cos it's a different language. Why are they surprised by Irish names ...

Lost to warriors on Saturday so that is our playoff hopes done. Emerald warriors? No Glasgow Well that wold have been less embarrassing, saw them training a few times last season in Marys and they were very very poor Was about to post the same. Two teams and second in the table in Div 9 now, right?...

LeinsterLion

Coming up with names that are Irish enough, but that Yanks can pronounce, adds a dimension to the whole matter. After trying to come up with names like for a while, we've kinda decided that if it ever becomes an issue then fcuk it - we're going with the name we like, regardless, which likely will b...

I think backward compatability is oversold as a feature. How many people genuinely go back and play previous generation games on their systems?
