Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

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...

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle

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...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

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....

Nobody from Leinster should moan about Dickson, he's useless but favoured Leinster massively. Penalty count was 15-12 in favour of La Rochelle.
