Apparently Antonio wants to retire in Monasterevin.
Leiynsterr - not enough French he said.

EPCR get the money from the semis.

So still no coherent argument as to why you should know a private individuals salary? The only people who benefit from it being kept a secret appear to be embarrassed Leinster fans. 6 million each I believe, academy lads starting on at least €500k ;) Ali is a Kiwi. Can he tell us how much Carter an...

Larmour, Russell, Osbourne all very good.

Good from Milne again. Need to see more of him.

Larmour has found his mojo.
Welcome back

It's been my biggest frustration with england. Sure players like loyalty (and match fees)- but it's also clear as day when lads are past it. Care was surely there just to get his 100?

The never-say-die determination of the Irish U20s must give the test team a huge lift going into tomorrow.

I was thinking to myself that Frawley suits a 6-2 waaayyyyyyy more than Ringrose.

Agree.
He covers Crowley, Aki, Henshaw and Keenan , plus he has a good boot.

Trostan

Ireland have a fully fit squad to chose from according to RTE Ringrose is about the only selection dilemma really, for me he benches on Saturday, Henshaw and Aki have been rock solid in defence. Ringrose isn't a dilemma at all. No way he's starting, will be on the bench if fit Is Huw Jones fit? Rin...

Tom Court at tight head. Got destroyed. Tom Court and Michael Bent. Probably living off lifetime free pints for late Irish call ups. At least Bent was a decent prop. Was Court called in late for the 2013 Lions as well, or is my ageing memory Bent? Court was a decent enough LH but never a TH. Bent o...

No. Boks will be undercooked, a new coaching setup, too many retirements, new ways and personell. Ireland to beat Boks in the series. Some fantastic dustups and moaning about refs etc. to follow, though. Ireland will also be undercooked, the last 6N match will be later this month. The first test is...

I see the bookies have Lancaster at 2 to 1 to replace Botherwickie

Too late for him now.
But one of the smartest loose heads in Irish rugby is Denis Buckley.
Don't know how he would go against Antonio though

Indeed Marcus Mitchell and Alex Smith are names that will echo in the annals of rugby history

Rush defense is nothing new is it? As Farrell pointed out, the Irish guy, bringing the rush defence to England, got it from a guy who is now coaching the majority of the Irish team. Wait, are you trying to claim Andy Farrell now? Irish poaching knows no bounds does it Have a quick glance at the pas...

I think Filipinos are generally too small for most forward positions

What does too heavily coached even mean? It's nonsense. Good coaching you cant have too much of. The coaches should giving them a range of tactics to break down and defend against a side and the confidence and team work to execute them according to the situation on the pitch. The poor players now h...

This conversation is very reminiscent of BOD claiming that mako was the only English player who might get a look in... only for them to absolutely thump the heads off us in Dublin.

Furlong has their scrum on toast and he didn't carry it on. Didn't really do anything in open play, feel Bealham will be back for twickenham

If tightheads lack imagination, somehow, I remember a much more creative Furlong

Reminds me of trouser 3 where the ref has fvck all idea what's happening. Porter walks sideways but makes a metre , Sheehan then stands up, and the ref penalises the Welsh...
