He seems to have lost power in his pass which just adds to the chances of a poor pass, something he was never very able to avoid anyway.

Unfortunately the halfbacks who should have given a bit of cohesion to the game weren't very good and some of the young players such as Osborne and Brownlee were, simply, awful. Both very young of course but if Brownlee is going to Munster I'm not sure that he'll be that much of a loss from what I'...

https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2024/04/22/shotgun-seized-by-gardai-in-2009-finds-its-way-back-into-criminal-hands/ Stories like this don't half harm the idea we need to be sympathetic to the Gardai against Harris. Do you mean Harris is right to have the rank and file on a choke chain? I don't...

One way to look at the stats is that our inept attack kept the ball away from the Lions for significant periods of time and thus kept the score down. :lol: They basically scored anytime they got the ball. Would be nice to have some genuine pace though. Watching our players trying to keep up was dep...

Worst bit is, that with a bit of composure, Leinster could have been right in that match. Did you see the match stats? Whatever about losing, the scoreline is awful given how much ball we had. I would say nearly all their tries came of 1/2 phases and mainly turnover ball. All of the SA teams have l...

McGrath is a good rugby player but not an especially good passer for a SH. The seasons where he did well for us he always had a run of games to crisp up his delivery. Between injuries and being down the pecking order has meant that his service is way off where it should be at this time of the year....

It’s a recurring theme based on McGrath’s season to date but it really is essential that JGP stays fit. McGrath is a good rugby player but not an especially good passer for a SH.

Back of a cig packet calculations gives me a top 8 of Leinster Glasgow Munster Bulls Stormers Edinburgh Ulster Treviso Top 5 are going to be around those 5, with a lot of permutations deciding order (I have Leinster/Glasgow both on 68 with same amount of wins and PD almost identical). Bottom 3 squea...

Floppy finding fault with something, say it ain't so!

CM11

The alleged cooney knock on was not foul play so was not reviewable. The carre knock onwas intentional(and it was a knock on) so it was reviewable, learn the laws If it's within two phases anything can be reviewed. I didn't see the questionable try, was the knock on within two phases? I think we sc...

CM11

Still plenty to play for but that Munster win has given both Leinster and Glasgow some breathing room.

CM11

Thought Cardiff were done there. Thought you Welsh and Scots were mates Its not whether the calls right, there was a knock on from cooney prior to ulcers try and our captain asked for it to be reviewed and it wasn't. Adamson was gagging to review the last play, its so f**king corrupt. This si why w...

CM11

Well done and thanks Munster. Decent weekend so far for the provinces.

Robbed!!

Point of order, 22-0.

CM11

Yikes.

This is traumatising my 8 year old!

We're still back in Dublin.

Pity, this side should be doing better.

CM11

No one watching?

Lions score from kick off. 7-0.

CM11

So Munster's "Wah, wah, it's not fair " strop worked then. Leinster, with most players on a central contract, will have to contribute most to this 'pot', thus penalising them for developing players, with the contents of this pot being distributed to Munster and Ulster, whose first instinct is to re...

CM11

Just looking at the table, Cardiff now have 11 BP from 14 games but only 3 wins. They've also had a draw. Their PD is only marginally negative. Must be hard to keep on getting the wrong side of close matches but equally it's good to see they've been competitive in nearly every game. Hopefully they c...

Except no conclusive evidence he even touched the ball.

You think the TMO only looked at the pics we saw and didn't check for whether he touched it?

Murphy will need a lot of time to fix this rabble. I'm not sure what the Ulster lads expect. It's rare a coach can instantly fix systemic problems with a side. This isn't a side who were pretty good who lost their way. It's a side who finished the season 2nd in the league last season and apparently...

Possibly the better choice.

To be fair, my young fella was born in Dublin and while I'll happily see him avail of the school system up here, if he's good enough it'll be a Munster academy contract he'll be signing.
