Apparently a comprehensive integrated digital record management system would cost like 1billion. World any government front that cash with any confidence that it would be well spent? It's hardly 1bn up front? Money well spent over the years it'll take to set it up and get it right, IMO. And probabl...

Just watched second half. That try at the end was a bit ridiculous alright. Hopefully won't come back to bite you.

Some lovely rugby by both sides.

CM11

Yes, good spot, one of Larmour/JOB shouldn't be there and yes, TOB or maybe Russell instead.

CM11

The IT and joined up thinking is really lacking in Ireland. We are at a disadvantage in some areas due to low population but it's a huge advantage having a small population and landmass in terms of efficiencies and we're screwing up royally there. Basic example is patient records. Now, I know there'...

Batshit thread.

Anyway, I'd happily pick Dupont in most backline positions. He'd make a good go at 7 and with a bit of training 2. Granted a tad small for the position these days!

CM11

Well it's true :) Connors is quite clearly second choice to the extent that he even starts some Champions Cup games ahead of Josh. Russell is possibly even more clear cut, he's only played so much because of the unavailability of others. Particularly JOB & TOB but also Lowe and Larmour have missed ...

If you were picking a second XV it'd probably be:

Healy, Kelleher, Ala'alatoa, Jenkins, Molony, Deegan, Connors, Conan, McGrath, Byrne, JOB, Ngatai, Osbourne, Larmour, Frawley

So 4 second choice.

More if you look at second choice 23

CM11

One to be recorded and watched on fast forward to see the score rake up. Can't see Leinster getting within 20pts, we might score 20pts, but we'll ship a lot. Stormers on the back foot after 2 consecutive losses at home. I'm not sure if Dobson is going to crack the whip so that the boys get back to ...

CM11

We don't absolutely need anything from this game but a bonus point (try obviously more achievable than bonus but still a stretch) would help. The Ulster and Connacht games will decide where we play the knockouts.

Leinster Rugby (caps in brackets): 15. Henry McErlean (2) 14. Liam Turner (28) 13. Ben Brownlee (7) 12. Charlie Ngatai (23) 11. Rob Russell (29) 10. Sam Prendergast (14) 9. Cormac Foley (17) 1.

Someone injured?

Given how well they (IRFU) seem to run budgets, common sense suggests NIQs are only likely to move province after the player rejects the top offer or the province doesn't want/can't have the player. I don't see any scenario where Synman could have moved just because Leinster offered more.

Interesting move from Donnelly. As the article says, it'll be interesting to see if he avoids blinking.

CM11

As always a mixed bag from Radge but ever interesting. There's definitely an attempt to sew a bit of division in Irish rugby. If Leinster get taken down a peg or two because of the noise from the other three provinces that's a dream for him. He knows well Munster couldn't hold onto Snyman (or chose...

Duff, I guess you need to define wealth. By most metrics, we're a wealthy country (2nd in the world using distorted gdp/capita, 6th using GNI), we're running budget surpluses despite covid and other factors and we're sadly seeing the effects of our success in housing and creaking services. But I tak...

Malaysians have been coming here to study for as long as I can remember.

Basically, Duff, it's comparing new money to old. Someone coming from the latter might have inherited a house, been given a car and will have accumulated possessions over their childhood and early adult life. The former won't have much. Both win the lottery and they have similar cash but the latter ...

Most of the 'rich' countries built the core of their infrastructure with cheaper labour (and some infra with expendable labour).

They’re the only ones paying the true cost of healthcare and pharmaceuticals - and their population is subsidising us in some cases Yeah, I don't think so. How do you think they can sell pharmaceuticals at different prices in different countries The pharma companies aren't exactly paupers. American...

Look at our state infrastructure and our national debt and get a grip kid Look at our infrastructure 20+ years ago, 'kid'. So we’ve bought our first car and a decent hifi system we are still far from wealthy I think we're wealthier than you're giving us credit for but that wasn't what I responded t...

We are nowhere near one of the world’s wealthiest countries. We are a stupid prick in our early 20’s with a high paying job straight out college. Not sure about that. That was the 00s. Hitting our early 30s now and trying to be more responsible and stable with our finances. Look at our state infras...

The actual reason is that teaching medicine is really expensive and really difficult. Foreign students subsidise Irish students. I agree with Miguel. However, even if he is wrong and yours is the "actual reason", isn't that shameful for one of the world's wealthiest countries? We are nowhere near o...

Well they had home advantage for every knockout game and still blew it in both competitions. Nienaber will get a lot of kudos if he breaks the cycle this year. We're talking about Munster's win needing to be starred (your argument, not mine) not Leinster's second string not being able to beat Munst...

I was making a slightly different point, that Leinster despite their obvious quality have been failing to get the job done at season's end for a few years now. Munster are spending this week in Cape Town because they really like their base there. I can't help but fear that that's a risk seeing as h...

If teams don't take a competition seriously then the competition itself loses a lot of its prestige, innit? HTH It's a shame you think Munster winning last year has taken the lustre off of the competition. You think the competition would be better off if Leinster won it every year, as they did for ...

But none of the good ones are from Leinster. That's Munster's, Ulster's and Connacht's problem, not either Leinster's nor the players involved. Maybe read what I said again, NONE of the good ones are from Leinster, so how is that everyone else's problem? Again, Cooney. And Murphy looks decent. And ...

Not that stuck, more that the outdoor pool is a novelty. Couldn't see myself using the hotels pool. Never knock a pool with an indoor slide.

There is a fair bit of success breeds success at Leinster. A bit like how Murray improved dramatically on the Lions tour, being in an environment of top level players brings everyone up. It's probably why decent players for us don't always excel elsewhere. Looking particularly at Jordi Murphy there...
