Re: Pro 14 State of the Nation
There isn't more than 6 schools in the elite bracket in Leinster tbf. I am talking in Scotland.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
The one year co-funded contract is interesting. Is it: - let him prove himself, or - we're bolloxed for budget, so lets make space next year and ask the IRFU for an advance for now Either way I think he can add a lot, assuming some kind of fitness, as an auxilary playmaker, making them far less pre...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Thomas Clarkson had an offer from the UK, I think London Irish, and hence had a bit of leverage and got an early bump to full contract Given Porter and Furlong will be away, Munster poached Salanoa and even with Allallatoa - there is a drop off Fixed! It does seem like maybe swapping players around...

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby

That means their analysis is done from the perspective of the individual patient instead of the population as a whole. What we wa...

Interesting that you think that a 29 year old can block the progress of a 21 year old, and 22 year old academy players, rather than mentor them; especially when Furlong and Porter will be in Irish camp, have Leinster time restrained. Everything you said can equally be applied to Jenkins. The only d...
