It's a real blind spot for Cullen, not like it's the first time this has happened.

Stockdale nearly took two off kick off last week, it's an issue.

earl the beaver

God Byrne stationary and just shipping it.

earl the beaver

That's a try, stripped by Toulouse so play on.

Think the run word is a bit of an issue, doesn't challenge the line at all.

earl the beaver

And again Toulouse all over the sides at the maul.

earl the beaver

That is most definitely a deliberate knock on it doesn't matter if it's instinctive.

earl the beaver

Cocked up that maul, needed to get the Toulouse players on the side out of it.

earl the beaver

Nothing play and hit behind the gainline, turnover.

earl the beaver

I mean that's a clear knock on.

earl the beaver

Willis will get checked here, clash of heads.

earl the beaver

It was a forward pass anyway

Presume the Sharks doing well is bad news for Ulster/Connacht? Definitely not ideal for Ulster. Pretty conceivable that they’ll finish 8th - a LBP in Thomond mightn’t even be enough with the Lions playing a Stormers side who can’t improve on their position. Stormers can't get to 4th but they could ...

Sunak visiting NI today is weird, NI conservatives have zero chance of returning a seat so it is effectively a wasted day. He does realise it's not a US style presidential election yes? Was it to support all the unionist parties? The fella seems to be a bit simple anyway and doesn't understand his ...

Bliar however claimed to have been a Toon fan sitting in the Gallowgate End (it was a Terrace!) where he used to watch Jackie Milburn (who retired when Bliar was 4 and living in Oz). He later denied this but never initiated any Full Inquiry. He denied it because it wasn't true. The Sunday Sun misqu...

Could you see Farrell dropping VDF to the bench and starting Connors for defence?

I can't.

Let's leave aside the fact that it wasn't what they campaigned on in that election, or that they haven't given the population of Gaza another opportunity to vote since. And the fact that they initially received quite a bit of Israeli support as part of their divide and conquer strategy. Why wouldn'...

Corbyn standing as an Independent candidate As I said I am not fan but he should do so. His constituency seem to like him and Labours treatment of the left of the party on the whole has been pretty scandalous. They're more a tiny paracel than a big tent now :lol: Independent report says leadership ...

Almost three in four Palestinians believe the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel was correct, and the ensuing Gaza war has lifted support for the Islamist group both there and in the West Bank, a survey from a respected Palestinian polling institute found.

Ranting is fun but do you have any specifics to share on your allegations Corbyn's antisemitism or his antipathy to Ukrainians? I'm waiting with bated breath There's a whole thread about Corbyn's antisemitism, I've got quite a lot of posts in it, to read. Corbyn is so blindly anti NATO that he blam...

Jeremy never really ran the show though his heart was in the right place.

You have my sympathy. Having that opportunistic, spineless, bland, nasally, knight, extra as PM is depressing even to me as someone who'll only rarely have to endure watching his puss. It's no wonder that even his father who christened him Keir appeared to have had his reservations about the creep....

Ulster will have Castore as kit provider next season but on greatly reduced terms to what had been agreed with Kappa before they pulled out. Apparently Kappa pulled out due to dawdling by Ulster and the late notice meant only Castore were willing to pick up the contract and deliver kit by August. C...

Why would he be leaving just after getting fit with a run of games? Ulster just can't afford him? We are making massive cuts in the playing budget, I imagine it is a money issue. As it stands our squad is going to be 10 players less than it was just 2 seasons ago and with a lot more young academy g...

Is Sale a done deal (linkie pls if so?) for Addison. Cos a little birdie tells me those are just ongoing talks, and that Munster might have put something on the table to perhaps delay his wanderings over the water. Caveat: unreliable source.

A lot of people who would never dream of playing 15s will see 7s for the first time and think “Jaysus, I could probably do that.” I mean, they’d be completely wrong, if anything 7s is harder, but the main thing is that people might think it and give the sport a go on the back of it. It is strange o...

Very much this!

Olympic 7s, who cares ....waste of space.
Keenan cares it seems.
He should do what's best for Irish Rugby, not personal glory hunting.

That might be giving Farrell time to develop a proper backup at 15.

Damn, thought I had a year of school fees be)big lower, Eat it you capitalist pig dog The funniest bit is all the council tax rises you’ll pay because VAT will go on “educational services” It will bankrupt some councils.

7 of Leinster likely starting pack this weekend are under 30: Porter(28), Sheehan(25), McCarthy(23), Ryan(27), Baird(24), Connors(28), Doris(26) Don't get the selection of Connors over VDF, it's basically saying you are going out to stop them not play your own game. If you want to play rugby you pi...

Even if it is just moving money around, it's more transparent. Leinster shouldn't be getting the same funding as the other provinces while not having to pay a penny towards the use of 10 of so players. I know we almost definitely contribute the most back but we still benefit from those players, eve...

Keenan going to the 7s team after the CC final for the Olympics. Will miss the rest of Leinster's season and the tour to SA. Wonder if this is part Farrell wanting to decide on our back up 15 as well. Options seem to be: Hansen - injured JOB - just back from injury Frawley - Still questions over hi...
