Jack wasn’t great and I do really wish he’d shot the lights out tonight but he’s been out of that team for the guts of a year, he needs a run of games. Either that or Farrell just decides to persist with Sam, though he looked short on confidence tonight. We just need to back a 10 at this stage and ...

Baird is a waste of space. I have believed for a good while that Coombes should be POMs successor in green Baird saved us twice when Jordan stepped the first man on the kick chase, he's an athlete. Ireland need someone to truck up untidy ball and drive back the opposition in defence. Baird doesn’t ...

Finally seeing the forward pass on the last play of the game.

DOB

WTF did Barrett just do?

DOB

Can’t just make a couple of passes, ffs.

3 different advantages tbf

None of them looked like penalties. NZ had a knock on worse than the one vdF got called for on the middle of it.

DOB

REf’s gone to only watching one side at the breakdown last 5 minutes. NZ doing all the things that Ireland have been penalized for.

DOB

That chip for TOB very nearly came off, but Crowley is going to the boot in the NZ 22 way too often in general.

Actually absolutely fine, just a f**king big collision.
Why wasn’t it play on with a check

Already playing penalty advantage to NZ.

Zico wrote: ↑Sat Nov 01, 2025 10:41 pm Medal for that tackle. But f-you ref for looking for a foul.

He knew he was playing advantage anyway, so might as well stop play there and look at it. I’d hope he wouldn’t if there wasn’t a penalty already.

DOB

That’s a brilliant hit by Ringrose.

DOB

We have 2 v flawed out halves :(( Agree but I think Crowley is the slightly less flawed - that said Prendergast has plenty of time to come good None of our current 10 options are really the complete package, it’s just a question of who can we get the most out of in the short and/or long term. And b...

Lineouts are brutal. Not since Jackman have we seen the like.

DOB

Nobody ever gives Murray enough hate for the stupid penalty that made it a 4point game and needing a try in that finale.

What's the story with all the lads LARP'ing around town in these yank, wank tanks? 4 passed me at the lights in terenure... has everyone been watching too much yellowstone? https://i.ibb.co/Jw38MXfn/20251027-134521.jpg A Navara and a Hilux are small trucks that would be dwarfed in America.

Anyone who can sum up the reasons for the anti-Connelly sentiment on this bored for an Irisher abroad who saw fudge all about the election and had no opinion on either candidate? Genuine reasons, not the conspiracy theory rants from certain boredies. Same. Even my righty home-based WhatsApp group a...

Leinster young lads were great. Cahir and Sheehan looked great. More front row options. Mc Kee played like a leader. Taking on a lot of ball , even though he’s 3rd choice. I thought Caspar looked classy. Mangan Impressed me in his cameo. Tector was excellent . Hugo very good at the back..Love to se...

Congrats Munster. A proper spanking. Amazing what a decent coaching ticket can do. The key to beating Leinster (and Ireland) is to slow down their ruck ball. Munster made absolute shite of it, kept on the right side of the ref, while allowing a brilliant Beirne to swoop. Brave response from Crowley...

This. I can’t believe we’ve got to the stage where anyone would even consider that one a pen.

Just reached the Frawley Penalty Try, and I’m not even mad about it as a Leinster fan, I’m mad about it as a rugby fan; that’s just a horrible decision that has no place on a rugby field and the ref needs to be sent to a reeducation camp where the changing rooms smell of stale beer and old ciggie s...

Crowley much better than prendo. Ready to try Harry over him. You’ve always had a hard on for Harry. He’s not that young anymore. All of our options are limited. Right now Crowley is the best of the options - a decent international quality outhalf but not world class. Harry is not a better outhalf ...

<glass half full mode> Leinster have started fantastically in the past and then the wheels come off in the last few matches. Here we have 8 (roughly) season debuts and Leinster effectively multiple matches behind the others in the season. Rocket up the arse will only serve them better in the long r...

Leinster have lost a lot of very tight games over the last ~5 seasons. You wouldn't really blame Cullen for saying in some of them that it was down to a bounce of a ball, or a shit refereeing decision (which is true tbf in some of them - looking at you Wayne Barnes and your not rolling away penalty...

McCambridge’s soda bread with a fry or a slice of smoked salmon.

RIP. Some very poignant tributes flowing into feeds right now. Was never a big KISS fan but most of my major influences were, if Dimebag had you tatted on his tit then you were in rare air indeed.

Decently strong side. Halfbacks need a performance though. Weaker side than I expected personally. Strange that they would include Furlong and Lowe, who were Test Lions and aren't really needed, and not RG who very much is with current availability. I read some quotes from Furlong a while ago with ...

The first year of the USA 7’s on the World 7’s tour, on the final day of the tournament the stadium in Carson California (normally the home ground of the LA Galaxy football team) ran out of beer.

Cor Vos, famous Dutch cycling photographer, has died aged 77.

Tuned into the Worlds and Tadej has a minute lead over the Remco/Healy/Skjelmose/Pidcock group with 60km to go.

ABs havent’ fired a shot this half.

Even Will Jordan’s forgotten where the line is.

But couldn’t hold out Leinsterman RG Snyman.

That’s an unbelievable try-saver by Leinsterman Jorden Barrett.

Right, I'm in an enormous club sports bar with the Warriors on at ine end the the ABs- Bok pre-match at the other. And a jug of Emerson's pils in front if me.

Kieran Reid has really done the “retire from rugby, quit the gym, get skinny” bit.

DOB

The pass into the dirt costing Aussie the comeback chance is a pretty fitting end to the game, tbh.

DOB

I know it was a long shot from that distance, but I thought they probably should’ve taken the 3 after the high tackle, and THEN go for the try.

But they might get a chance after all.
