The next two classics are too hilly for MVDP . Will he try Liege Bastogne Liege Fancy Pog to win it His Da won Liege, and he’s a better climber. It’s a tougher race these days, though. Hard to see past Podge if he stays upright. With no Remco, there’s not really anyone who’ll be able to respond whe...

I was at Inst during one our most successful periods we had teachers as the coaches for every team, we had a physio who was an ex-pupil and we had a S&C guy who was nominally employed as a gym supervisor and occasional cover for PE lessons (who subsequently went on to become a full time PE teacher)...

It's the trickle-down system, so. 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. You're confusing it with the spiv model where the union hopes private clubs - who get no mo...

Great win by Pidcock at Amstel at the weekend. Really exciting race and showed that vdP is by no means invincible if there are other teams strong enough and with enough personnel to make Alpecin work harder.

Jords.

Or El Jorderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing, y’know like.

Will people confuse him and Larmour next season, do you think?

DOB

Utterly pointless signing. Of course, it’ll be funny if Jordie arrives next year, plays the league games during the 6N, and the away games in Safferland, and then, because all our backs are in such good form, doesn’t make the 23 for the Euro games or playoffs. Similarly for Snyman. And by funny, I o...

John Wayne Bobbitt (remember him?) is managing to continue, somehow, to make headlines for having MORE appendages chopped off.

Reading Thornley's match report: Tadhg Furlong tackled the lumbering Wallaby lock and dumped him on the ground, prompting a loud roar. Two phases later, with Skelton still on the ground, Furlong drove Ultan Dillane back in the tackle and dumped La Rochelle’s Irish lock on the ground too. If ever th...

He's quality, and the eldest of five sons.
Class. Are there others with similar potential?
The next lad, Andrew, played for the 20s this year and has already scored a try for Leinster.

Are they all backs? Or are there a couple of fatties among the younger ones?

DOB

Having been a ST holder since the old Donnybrook days, two things in particular drove Leinster. One was 2006 and the win away in Toulouse followed by the disgraceful scenes in and around LR for the SF. I think the team as well as the fans remembered that. The second was the move to the RDS in 2007....

He’s created a team where personality is more important than how good a player you are. Answer me this and answer me no more. Why did SKY latch onto Munster as the marketing machine’s dream rather than Leinster? The Munster “journey” started on Rte you muppet. They didn’t have floodlights so they a...

DOB

Nobody from Leinster should moan about Dickson, he's useless but favoured Leinster massively. Penalty count was 15-12 in favour of La Rochelle. Not bemoaning the ref but he didn't massively favour Leinster, that's nonsense. I am not going to go and check but I feel Leinster gave away 4 or 5 penalti...

ROG makes good career moves. Munster is not a good career move. They don't have the players with which he can do anything. Yeah, I can see any coach with ambitions of going higher avoiding them like crazy right now. That’s why I said I could see him taking an assistant job with Ireland (under Faz, ...

DOB

I didn’t think Byrne’s pass to Lowe was as forward as Lowe’s passes to Sheehan and Baird. And none of them were what qualifies for a forward pass in today’s game.

He has too much cop on for that. If he wants the Ireland job, he’ll have to try a job in Ireland at some point. ROG makes good career moves. Munster is not a good career move.

Leinster are playing fantastically.

We’re playing some good stuff. Need to be better with our finishing, and cut out cheap penalties.

Yup. Given them 13 points off cheap penalties. Have to knock that in the head, especially since they’ll have the wind 2nd half.

To have only given up 7 in that opening 10 of the half is pretty good for Quins given what Bordeaux were throwing at them.

Jesus. Bondi Junction was my train station for a year. Shocking to read about this.
