Re: The Big One - England vs Ireland
The 6 nations is a good competition without England. The other teams gain nothing playing England and England gain nothing from this either. End this tournament it's serves no purpose at all. Wxv where teams play teams at their level is the only way forward. This is the 50th time you've posted this...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Bulls last year but we had kids out that game. For a lot of experienced players that was the worst performance for years Must be tired after a week long circle jerk We knew were going to lose both games away in SA. It's win or bust European Cup anyway. Don't care about URC Terrible attitude

Surely it’s time to pull the plug on this farce
It’s a professional team playing students and barmaids
Someone is going to get badly hurt
How many grand slams in a row can England do?

Not fond of that Ulster pack. Decent enough outside backs, but that frontrow has two dodgy scrummagers (EOS & Stewart) & a novice and it’s a short second row.

IF anything its the exact opposite. Schools being the bedrock (get next to no IRFU funding) feeding the systems above. The whole IRFU set up is devoted to the national team.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Is that unusual? We had Kiwi and Aussie coaches 20+ years ago. Granted, my school had a fair bit of discretionary cash to throw around as they saw fit, and that's at the crux of what enables such good coaching at various Leinster schools. Often guys were playing with a club and coached in school an...
