Re: Shogun - A Miniseries of Japan
I was wondering how Mariko even spoke English if Anjin was the first Englishman to land in Japan - it appears that she didn't For unknown reasons, Mariko discovered her love for the languages. The Jesuits taught her European languages, including English and Portuguese. With her gift, Mariko earned ...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
In a weekend where nothing else is really planned for Cork, afaik. Munster Rugby and Cork City Council should do what they can to establish it as an annual St. Brigid's weekend fixture. Question really is what clubs/teams are available at that time of the year for a match, that are also enough of a...

Mariko is still number1 But Lady Ochiba is stunning as well Kiku who is meant to be the most beautiful in the book isn’t even as good looking as Fuji who in the book was described as looking like a rat Agree with Lady Ochiba.

I know McCarthy is a young lad but his performance levels declined throughout the 6Ns. Might need a wee bit more of a recharge. Also with Ryan out, wouldn't want to risk him unnecessarily. Jenkins can hopefully find a big performance against his old team. Declined is an understatement- he looked sc...

No. He is not. Nor are you. Carrier never reduced his height. No matter if he is one inch off the grass, if he does not drop his height, there is SFA mitigation and onus is on tackler not to make head contact.

Re: Ospreys v Munster
Nah. As I say: not seeing any development in any of our forward's personal games.
Maybe 'any' is harsh, because their willingness and ability to play looser has indeed developed, but it appears to be at the expense of, well: being a forward.

Re: Ospreys v Munster
Munster escape with the win. The early 3 tries was the difference. Performance wise its another very poor showing with the exception of the defending. I'd take issue with the latter. A more accurate side than Ospreys would have done our defence. That made for depressing viewing. WTF is going on wit...

Re: Ospreys v Munster
Our pack are muck. Utter muck. All season long we have struggled to impose ANY control over games. And there are NO signs of improvement.
I am beginning to think it has been foolish to cut so much slack over the injury situation.
This is fcuking gack. Too many empty shirts in that pack.

Re: Ospreys v Munster
Called it earlier. Soaking pressure. Fluked two scores. Built SFA bar the first try. No phases. No bite. No control.
This is really concerning. That scoreboard will turn - should turn. Such an odd half of rugby.
