Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

As a "conventional" poaching 7 Gleeson was ahead of Wallace though. I mean, the 03 World Cup squad had the likes of Gleeson, Easterby, Miller, Costello, Foley, etc. What was odd was that he was on the Lions tour in 01, and then sort of fell away from Irish duty. In retrospect, he was clearly the be...

Didn't even know Sri Lanka was an option for a professional rugby player. I know nothing about him but his history doesn't look spectacular, is he really better than the local lads?

Coaches have a huge influence on club performance. Many feel that Munster overachieved last year given the squad and all that went on. I really can't see how they can maintain their performance levels for a coach who has quit 1 year into a 3 year contract. I'm thinking of a scenario where Erasmus i...
