Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Ulster should have no issue, Benetton's away form is awful I wouldn't say that, they beat Cardiff and Edinburgh away from home (as well as Zebre), we've only won 2 away from home ourselves. I'll be shocked if Ulster lose, that Cardiff game was the first one of the season. We have a 2nd-3rd choice f...

He'd always throw one or two into the ground or over the head. But that was because he was the first Leinster SH to pass as he got to ruck.
