Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Funny because the idea of Munster or Ulster getting a home fixture is humorous? Otherwise, not sure I get what's funny about the idea that Munster/Ulster might like to make decent money from a knockout game? The idea that Ulster would play a home last 16 game or even quarter anywhere but Ravenhill ...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
FWIW I read somewhere on Twitter today that last years round of 16 match at LR generated € 1.4m for Leinster, after the € 400k rental fee, and 35% of the gate receipts going to Ulster. It really shows the importance of a home match in the round of 16; and must have Ulster and Munster looking to use...

Re: Bulldog Memorial Cup: Masters 2024
Also speaking of LIV, looks like Rahm has some regrets over his move, basically jumped thinking there would be an agreement to bring things together and now misses the big events and is instead playing with no marks in Saudi.

Lowry, Stockdale and Stewart all available.
Treadwell, Marty Moore, Reid, Moxham and Burns all ruled out.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Every squad needs its journeymen. I'd say the three provinces you mention have a few players knocking about who would aspire to being just that. Or who have been that, perhaps (perhaps not) deservedly, but through age/mileage are no longer hitting those dizzying heights. There are two tasks needing...

Decent is a stretch plus the other provinces are well stocked. LH is a problem position for Ireland. Also Ulster might ...

There were some poor players in that starting Ulster lineup. The 10 was terrible, as were a few others.

HMS Ferret was not a US sub base but was where the Nazi U-boat fleet surrendered. That was handy, seeing that they used to refuel just around the corner Saved on petrol true enough.
