Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Ryan & Ringrose need game time but will they be risked a week out from the CC game,
Leinster have shown already they have the dept to cope without both for Munster.

Re: Would Earls have tackled Hogg if that pass had stuck.

why did Barnes not call it a forward pass ?
