I remember we could just never beat them, home or away. We always got tonked over there and lossed narrowly to them at home. Their team under Telfer was very clever. Always offside and brilliant at slowing down ruck ball Equally ruthless at speeding up their own. Joy to watch when not on receiving ...

Coombes for me.

Accuse away, but part of me wouldn't want a single one of the young Munster players called up into this ANCO/FAS shitshow.

How shite were we? I've no idea. I had a lazy morning with breakfast in bed. When we eventually got up we went for a walk around Blessington Lake which was like glass. Then we had a leisurely hot chocolate in Russborough House before the fog descended giving an eerie beauty to the lake. Meanwhile s...

Far far far too many pro 14 level men out here Problem is we have nobody else who is better. Hope to fudge Leavy comes back. Get Baird in there somewhere. McCloskey and Farell have actually had some nice touches to each other. Problem is the forwards arent punching any holes at all Can we please st...

We’re back in the late Deccie epoch. When everyone knew full well that stepping up to the Irish squad meant you were not stepping up to the best coaching group in the country. That is a cancer for a squad and all in it. That’s all I’ll say on it. It may be all I’ll say on it, but I didn’t promise a...

We refuse to kick the ball against the best defence in the NH and against Georgia, we go all billy bog baller on it.

Some fcuker(s) need lobotomising.

Wed have to negotiate a job lot with the surgeon though, or we’d be properly bankrupt.

Did you hear Nige on his 100 matches reffing. 'I may not be the last to do it but I will be the first'. So humble Give the man credit. Reckon about the best ref in the world, or damn near to it for a decade. He has been on a noticeable decline over the past two-three years or so. But a hell of a re...

I reckon if any of us took a 20 year sabbatical and returned to the bored, this thread would still resonate to the clamour of "blood 'em for the RWC cycle/will we ever get it right/bloody conservatism". The only way this will not be the case is if the 6N is dead. The IRFU could not give a manky monk...

I can see some sense in giving Doris a break. He spent the last game horsing himself into contact against lumps - to his credit IMHO - and a rinse & repeat against lumps who make England look multidimensional Doctor Who characters is probably going to teach us nothing and could rightly fcuk him up. ...

Cracking opening season or two, but it loses the plot badly in later series. Still worth sticking with.

I am not going to put myself through watching that game again, but would be interested to know CJ’s stats. Although they never tell the full story- you need Murray K’ s fullbore ruck involvements, positive etc for a better snapshot. Don’t think I heard his name once. Struggling to recall him being o...

He's too nice. Even Leo FFS, the Curly Wurly head on him, had an edge to him that comes from looking at an ugly fcuker in the mirror every morning when you're shaving and knowing it's only going to get worse. He was by no means a thug, but he got the max out of himself. Ryan's not doing that. I hope...

Get the sense from Andy Farrell's interview (Ch4 one) that Doris and Chris Farrell have gone up in his estimation.

redderneck

We'd have been better served by taking Byrne off at halftime and putting an extra forward on.

redderneck

Ref is allowing tackler roll towards attaching goal-line each and every time. Not to sidelines. Deeply annoying.

redderneck

Has to be said. Ryan needs dropping for this performance.

redderneck

Either call them all Nige, or STFU.

redderneck

Our back row not in this game because the front 5 is being mullered. We're some distance from being competitive. Felt POM had to be in the side for lineup if we go with Roux as TH lock, but he isn't a test class 7 and it's just too big an ask against this English pack. We need someone to put pressu...

redderneck

Given our red zone comversion why the feck aren't we taking our points when offered. Could be 12-6 Our captain doesn't appear to possess a brain. Sick and tired of saying this. If our lineout was metronomic then fire away. But just how thick do you have to be to realise that we are better off avoid...

Something tells me no Irish men are going to be conflicted about playing under an Itoje Lions captaincy/pack leadership...

redderneck

Static first receivers because we are afraid of taking contact in the ten channel.

Killing us.

We would be better off against teams likely to have us up front, playing a ten whose instincts are to run. Setpieces are not our friend.

redderneck

Feel sorry for JGP. He's trying too hard, but he HAS to cos his pack have gone AWOL

redderneck

England just bigger and better athletes across the park. All aspects of our game under pressure. JGP playing well but Ross Byrne sitting way too deep off phase ball. Agreed. The lack of support for the carriers is woeful too Byrne isn't up to international rugby at the best of times, this is about ...

Backrow at mercy of their front five.

Ryan is watching this game go past him. He has not been the same since his injury.

Getting mullered up front.

redderneck

Tackle drill for England. Not seeing ANY progress from us. Knew scrum would be under pressure (feck help us when we replace the frontrow), but w/out a lineout, the margin could be epic.

On days like these I am comforted by the warm embrace of the melody and lyrics of that peacenik icon, Arlo Guthrie, who summed it up better than I ever could:

Kill. Kill. Kill.

What does that idiot Dr. Tony think he's doing? Legacy building. The man who drove booze out of Ireland. Someone the other day mentioned that CJH would have hauled him in for one conversation and that would have been the end to it, or to him. No CJH fan, but true dat. He needs a bitchslapping.

I fancy we have a dastardly plan to play England with 14 men for 75 minutes. Real circle the wagons stuff. POM is going to sidle up to Itoje at the fist lineout and just kick him in the nuts. Conor Murray 55 metres out full on swing head down with follow through reef him in the the nads. Then lean o...

We couldn't until we could. No such thing as untouchable. Itoje will get handled eventually. Just not by any of the current crop sadly. Ryan's too bloody nice.
