Frisch was born and raised in France and hasn't ever been in the top 4 or 5 centres available, therefore he never got capped. Ben Healy is a more limited Ross Byrne, he is not a loss. Carberry kept getting injured and got overtaken at Munster by the guy who has settled into first choice for Ireland...

I still don’t get it? They have a really strong link to Ireland having lived there as kids. Beauden played U12 Gaelic for Meath. I’ve heard them all talk of loving their time there and wanting to get back to visit. The fact Jordie can do so and get paid well for it, all the better. Agreed but the w...

Nonsense Leinster players are in the main on central contracts That frees up their resources elsewhere for better coaches and facilities therefore they continue to have better players and the dominance continues This isn’t cyclical it’s not like football where a better manager can come to the other...

Blind arrogance This goes on like this and I guarantee you the game is dead on the island in ten years This is small town thinking. Holding back Leinster won’t help Ulster in the long term Ulster have to look in the mirror and get their house in order You signed a World Cup winning prop that other ...

So Leinster steal Snyman off us and sign Barrett, while we also lose Frisch and sign Billy Burns! :lol: It is objectively a bit shit Personally think something needs to be don about central contract situation The system has been reviewed 3 times in the last 8 years and on all 3 occasions the provin...

How we will all laugh when the game is dead as a spectacle on the island Munster filled a 40k stadium for a jumped up friendly 2 months ago. 6 of the top ten programs viewed on Irish TV last year were the international matches including the RWC. It’s not dying. Ulster are just shit at the moment. G...

IRFU are fukking up Irish Rugby medium to long term. Good for Leinster short term, but fukking everyone else. Hopefully Humph can sort it, but not holding my breath. There's definitely scope for Leinster rugby to do to Irish rugby what Dublin football has done to the Leinster championship. It's fin...

A season long loan is pointless for the other provinces, utterly pointless. If the IRFU will sanction signings like Barrett for Leinster then they simply have to provide funding for the other provinces to improve, otherwise we become even more dependent on one province. How do they think attendance...

It's a 6 month contract. The 2nd of our 3 NIQs.

I think this kind of signing isn’t an issue if there a redirection of some younger players to fill problem spots in other provinces. Even as a short term basis. Season long loan for tector up north? Osborne or Boyle head down south. Connacht haemorrhaging players. But every indication suggests this...

:lol: :lol: Thats exactly what it is. Like toulon & saracens, just buying the big names because they can, not because they are needed. Stupid signing. Keep them tears coming.

Obviously great news if you're a Leinster fan as he's a fantastic player. But in the grand scheme of things 200K* that could definitely be spent on loads of other more important things in Leinster (including a TH) or across the Irish rugby system. Yes he may end up making a couple of contributions ...

Probably been mentioned already, but the boot on Osbourne. Longer than Lowe! That's the first time I've seen him properly and paid attention. Didn't realize he was 6.4. Sky is the limit for him. He's quality, and the eldest of five sons. Class. Are there others with similar potential? His brother A...

A lot of Leinster supporters trying to rewrite history here and it’s understandable in a way. Many of you were Munster (Lunster) supporters in the early noughties yet would never admit to it now. In 04 there were more Munster jerseys sold in D4 than in Limerick, amazing stat. No one cares. It’s bor...

Will we sell out Croker? 83k is a lot No. It’s an EPCR event and they will be out to rape us. If it was competitively priced maybe but their bottom line is about 2m in revenue.

Wasn't it that run of KO games in 2003 that really highlighted that Leinster had a support base that could be accessed? Obviously there was a long way to go in terms of actually being good enough, but it showed that people would buy tickets. Went out against Biarritz in the semi in LR with Bommer m...

There you have it folks, the Munster media juggernaut was built off playing on Saturdays rather than Fridays. Jesus wept. It's because in 2000 when the Munster bandwagon was beginning, they were the best team in Ireland, the international team was coming out of the 90s and Munster were beating Engl...

If ever there were proof of ROGs effectiveness all you have to do is look at this thread. He, like Gatland and Rassie, takes the pressure off his team and is willing to make himself a target.

He 100% will coach Ireland one day. Too divisive. :lol: Is it any wonder we’ve have never made it past a QF. I’m sure the two world cups enable the Saffers to put up with Rassie’s divisiveness. I see him more as a Roy Keane/George Hook/Franno media troll long term, and I think he does too. That's w...

Yes, here you are, clearly not caring. You're very cranky lately. If Sexton makes it a habit to wind up opposition fans then I'm sure he'll get what he deserves. It's not a difficult concept to understand. Not going to lie, I am - genocide in Gaza, drone attacks on Israel, shipping disrupted in the...

Dickson was fine. Great to see some English sides doing well again tbh. We got balance of decisions, no doubt about that. The advantage call after Lowe’s kick and the scrum pen against ker Barlow were both very harsh on LAR I thought. The adv call on Lowes kick is pretty standard. He was under pres...

He has too much cop on for that. If he wants the Ireland job, he’ll have to try a job in Ireland at some point. I don’t think floundering with Munster would do him any good. You don’t think he could get it without a stint coaching within the Irish system? Let’s say as he got the English or even Fre...

Boogate would be the perfect epilogue to this saga. The media and pundits, having blown so much smoke up ROG's arse will now have to objectively ask the question: "is he a dickhead?"

They don't give a fudge about the competition. Perhaps unsurprisingly. They have cheapened it massively and should be asked to fudge right off next year. Not ageing well this. Why?

Until we meet them again, getting roundly and deservedly booed while his team gets their asses handed to them is a nice final Lansdowne Road memory for ROG.
