Jaysus, sore point.

Leinster farmers have bought up all the available sileage, the money bagging bastards, and shipped it all away on us.

Famine Joe, there'll be famine. Mark my words.

Professionalism. Gotta love it. Also, importantly, the need to accurately value tradition within the system. I'm far from sure that's been done. If it had been, then Munster, for example, would likely be based out of Cork. Demographics and potential upside vs tradition. TP would have been modernized...

The Leinster ARE producing players for you ungrateful plebs line being trotted out I see. Hmmmm. We're giving a home to your castoffs by and large, so of course you're fine with perpetuating that system. It reinforces the gap. A draft. If there's to be anything other than a pretence at real competit...

there's definitely some truth to CM's post though. Still happening too - we needed a new Academy head - of all the people in the world we found the best candidate was our current backs coach's brother? Maybe he'll be a visionary, maybe it's jobs for the lads, who knows.... I'll accept we're not yet...

Hmmmmm. Forgive us for not building more fee-paying schools in thriving metropolitan areas and restricting them to single sex intake, excluding other team sports and hiring professional coaching staff. Because that's what a secondary school should be for. there's definitely some truth to CM's post ...

Disingenuous to assert we have not made moves to address appalling lack of talent coming through. We have. I'll accept it was done far too late, but it is being done. However it is where they are coming though from, and both quantity and quality of the raw material provided which remains the crux of...

Munster had this opportunity in the 00s but screwed up their youth development and never capitalised on it. Munster didn't do enough I agree, and the lack of professionalism in certain things was incredibly evident for a long time. But they never had "this opportunity". You had a rake of central co...

Kind of a signal to Frawley to look elsewhere imo. Why? There are enough centrally contracted Leinster players floating around to allow generous terms be given to less established players. He might be tempted to leave for minutes but it won't be money. And the benefits of familiarity and remaining ...

Only if Leinster pick eight backs from their squad and use them as their starting pack.

There is a sense of the SA-Ire pool match about about yesterdays game. Leinster fans and the media are celebrating like they’ve won the tournament. Toulouse are the team to beat let’s be real. Hold on yesterday Bordeaux were the team to beat. And Northampton were deadly when they won in Limerick. N...

I thought he looked off the pace at the weekend, and the workrate of others around him carried him a little. He managed 5 tackles and 5 carries in an hour, which was an hour where Munster dominated possession. Surely if either of the injured locks were available then Beirne would have been the smar...

10 You reap what you sow. Munster were way too slow to get their underage system going even when the golden generation was clearly ageing back in the late 2000s. It was always a matter of painting over the cracks since then. I still think there's a lack of common sense within the IRFU. It's good to...

I was always under the impression that the IRFU was fairly wealthy?? Certainly for a country Ireland's size with Rugby's place in it. It's very easy to blow through cash in sports. IRFU have cash and asset reserves that mean we can weather a fair bit of a storm but we're still reliant on revenue st...

Has it been/is it worth pointing out that in Beirne’s 2nd (and final) season as a Scarlet, Leinster won the Champions Cup/Pro12 double? Beating the Scarlets, with Beirne at 8, in the league final? With Beirne-esque lock/blindside Scott Fardy who Beirne could have shadowed and replaced. Which might ...

He was forwards coach in 2014. Head coach in 2015. Beirne was released in 2016. Obviously he was a player before that as well (same position). Beirne wasn't a nobody.

100% agree with you on Mitchell's impact. Was massive. Saints bench in general brought impact, but his was the game changer.

Finn Smith is a lovely natural 10, loads of teams will be chasing him. Honestly, the second half of that game was about as poor as I've seen him this season. He was saved by Mitchell coming on. Mitchell's speed of feet and accuracy of long pass was what allowed Saints to score the try when they wen...
