Foisting the 20 minute red on the WXV, hope they get fùcked off.

wasnt that the case this season too?

Yes, I just don't think it's sustainable for Ireland, we need guys getting gametime.

Have we previously had a thread from any of the other countries asking “Why is our current squad so good?” I cannot remember it happening? Pssst, the OP isn't Irish! If you'd watched his video you'd know that! A troll? Who would have thunk? Anyhoo it's a legit question when you have a side perform ...

Latest yougov polling suggests Tories could lose all by 13 seats :lol: Oh and Reform getting none But Sunak thinks it's going to be a hung parliament. Best you get a bet on that one …. It won’t be a hung parliament, but it won’t be 13 seats. Tell you what, I’ll buy at 100 quid a seat at 36 right no...

I imagine it would be the same outcome as Ulster, good first few years, stagnation and then fall away.

It's already stopping people. Sure There were 1500 people in the last week of April. 150 since then. Granted the dead child may have something to do with that ..

I agree that they've played a big part. We don't tend to produce great backs these days. Gibson Park, Lowe and Aki were project players while Hansen cane from Australia (Irish mother). All backs. Due to the age of the squad its possible we'll see Ireland take a step backwards in the next year or so...

Possibly, and something better can and will no doubt be found. It's a deterrent to the issue of failed EU asylum seekers jumping on boats in their thousands to try their luck in the UK. I very much doubt many will actually go to Rwanda... But that's not the point of the exercise. If it stops the bo...

Yeah that was meant to say "all but 13 seats".

Why is the Rwanda bill 'right'? That's the same as saying that Brexit was 'right', when we all know the socialists campaigned to get out of EU for 40 years. How about extreme? Possibly, and something better can and will no doubt be found. It's a deterrent to the issue of failed EU asylum seekers ju...

Miles to the left of what the country wants on immigration. You know what "the country" wants intimately from the other side of the pond yeah?

The party that want to send brown people to Rwanda, tried to ban all forms of protest and just did a huge speech about how badly they want to fudge the poor and disabled over again truly is fighting over the centre ground Miles to the...

Are these Leinster deals being done alphabetically?

earl the beaver

Badenoch said progress was being made with talks on a Canada trade deal - the Canadian government refuted this and stated they hadn't held any talks. Badenoch has also claimed a value in the trillions for the CTPP trade deal, seemingly taking the number from the combined GDP of the countries involve...

Yeah, she doesn’t really that’s media run campaign shite. As the Cass report has demonstrated there’s real issue involved with the “culture war”, the stuff has shown t8me and again to have real issues for real people.

He's obviously not getting ahead of Doris but he has 4 or 5 years on Conan and Baird is still only establishing himself. Deegan has gone well this season when called upon but unfortunately, for him, injuries have been concentrated elsewhere even though backrow usually has the highest churn. If his ...

earl the beaver

I find it fairly impossible to see Deegan progressing beyond his current role as good squad player. He's started 87 games for Leinster and only 3 have been in Europe, he's benched a bit but when everyone is fit there just isn't space for him. Conan ain't going anywhere yet and Doris is Doris. I'd b...

That pitch in Ravenhill looks like it's a slab of concrete with some fake grass sprinkled on top. Who was the back three player who minced his face on it earlier this season, I mean WTF do I know but I'm convinced it wouldn't have been that bad on grass. We've had a load of injuries that are, imo, ...

That's awful. Will Moore be used there now? I want Moore to play 15 but with Marshall and Addison both leaving I don't think we'll have much choice as Postlethwaite isn't really a 13 and I don't want them o play Kok there. Rotten for Hume.

Braverman ain’t going away either. But Kemi might just grasp enough economics to be ok. Until then it’s Labour. What the pretend conservatives can’t grasp is their 14 years of power have bought record tax burden , record deficit spending and a failing state. State at what’s left and run away in sha...

I have no issues with saying I didn't think there was any point in signing Cooney, I thought he was a massive downgrade and wasn't good enough. He proved me wrong.

More livid because said club legend wanted to stay and bot he and Ulster were quite open about that but it was vetoed by the IRFU.

I meant he’ll lose the election and f uck off. The only thing next is mourdant (total non entity continuation Blair with nice tits ) or Kemi. You could always beg Truss to make another bid...

So based on that, that's really just a 20- 30 seat majority for labour if the Tories lose their 80 seats plus another 20 plus the recent bielections . That's not taking into account seats going to Lib Dems, reform etc Eh, based on the electoral calculus result the Labour would have a majority of 14...

Deegan mainly, one or two of the Eleventybillion 10s you have as well.

You also ignore that I'm not advocating stripping Leinster of players but that the IRFU increase funding to the other provinces.

As I mentioned above, if you only give Leinster their 23 and a few fringe players and then expect everyone else who's decent to go elsewhere then you end up with Leinster not qualifying for Europe and the IRFU down millions.
