“Winning, winning, winning,” said Rowntree when asked what Munster want to get out of the Rainbow Cup. “Win the competition whatever form it takes. “That means winning week by week.

I wonder what his reason for flouncing was He kind of telegraphed it with the "Have we reached the tipping point?" thread. TLDR: bored's gone to shit If I posted a reply every time someone said "The Bored ain't what it used to be," I'd have something ridiculous like 20,000 posts by now or something.

It would be carnage on here if Cav got selected for the TDF and not SB. Already been decided: https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-france/2021/startlist Always a work-in-progress up until the last minute before the start. And they have 9 names down for the Ineos team. The carnage wouldn't b...

Yeah, if the first thing you do is approach with a firearm drawn and shout at the individual to get on the ground, that’s not “showing tremendous restraint.”

DOB

Even on the official photo it looks odd, but VanAert has whitewall tires versus Pidcock’s black sidewalls, which might contribute to the optical illusion.

Watched the last 40km there, was a good race. Definitely better than when they used to just finish atop the Cauberg.

I hope ye lads appreciate that I’ve sacrificed one of my 3 free Indo articles this month to bring this to you. This one is about violence and some of its effects on the sporting world.

There's going to be all sorts of messing going into the final few minutes of matches.

You see NFL coaches calling timeout to “ice the kicker” all the time. This sounds like the same trick.

Was a late bloomer and got stuck in the middle of the Pooper mess. Should have been the wallaby 6 whenever fit. He had the complete game but sadly neither Hooper or Pocock were link players at that stage. Great player :thumbup: I’d argue that the Pooper was most successful when Fardy was there. He ...

Deccie, within 12 months won a HEC and a grand slam. Has an underage world cup to his name,annndddd a Churchill cup.

My wife ordered something from Hong Kong. They claimed there was a delay in the post office, delayed it just long enough to go past the threshold for complaints, then shut up shop. Nice wee scam. I said we will never order anything from that country again, and counselled against using the platform ...

The likes of Ryan, Baird, Dunne, Molony and even Toner will have learned so much from him over the last 4 years. I remember the game against Exeter in Lansdowne road in December 2017 when Exeter were leading and seemed to be in the driving seat. Fardy was instrumental in turning the tide. Had an in...

Probably in the top 5 all time Leinster overseas signings. Cheers Fards. Proper sort. Could melt a ruck like few others. Wish him luck The knock on him here, was that he didn’t carry the ball that much. Did he do a bit more of that at Leinster? Not a whole ton. Mainly your standard carry-up off mul...

DOB

Perhaps it was a genuine mistake. Will have to ask the few cops I know if they can distinguish the different without seeing their weapon. But I think there may be a case for having cops particularly those in the US to have 'less-lethal' options in terms of ammunition. Or at least a mix. Which is po...

In fairness I am starting to blame players and pundits. Ferris aside they all seem like nodding dogs.

Fardy has been great fun to watch. Hard as nails, skillful, and an absolute prick on the pitch. :lol: Prob the most consistent, solid, multi-year overseas signing Leinster has has since Stan and Heinke days. Not gonna wow you like Isa or Felipe or Rocky, but rock-solid and the best player at hittin...

Evidence is complete. Closing arguments to be heard on Monday. Hard to know how this will go - prosecution and defence both had good witness testimony.

I think I remember a poster on here saying that they had captained Scotland at youth or U20s or something like that. That is pretty awesome, to get the armband at an international level - any international level. Can’t say that it has ever been likely to drop into my inbox. I was once made captain ...

I would back a captains challenge if it meant no other TMO involvement. This x 10000. TMO is only used on a captains challenge, 2 a game. Everything else is on field decision by refs. Yeah, I'd be up for that actually, particularly on tries. Ref makes an on-field call, and if either skipper has an ...

DOB

The captain's challenge just formalises what's happening anyway and actually gives the ref a chance to put captains who keep bugging them back in their box. Ah yea, but it just feels like a bit of wank nicked from the NFL. Somethings ought to be, and remain, at the ref's discretion. Remember, thing...

Fair play. He put in a top notch shift in his time with us.

Did he win the league every season?

I don't think the O'Gara piece is that bad !! Curtis is obviously a fan and it's a bit OTT but I think he has written it very much tongue in cheek.

I saw a comment elsewhere that “if your last name is Pidcock, and your nickname isn’t Stu-art then you probably don’t have any real friends,” or words to that effect. It is good to see Cav back, but I am a lot more impressed by a kid outsprinting WvA after 4.5 hours in the Ardennes than a veteran wi...

DOB

A one year contract is interesting. It's entirely possible he's been brought back primarily as a fullback to play as back up to Keenan seeing as we've nobody else at international level. Hopefully Stockdale can find a bit of form again. Mind you, I'd still probably pick Haley ahead of him at Munste...

3 in a row for Cav in Turkey now. Is he going to get a GT ride this season? It’s the Tour of Turkey, so let’s not get carried away.
