Relief is the main emotion. That was a bad 2nd half performance. Kudos to Saints. They never gave up. Good team If Mitchell had been subbed ten minutes sooner, I reckon that game would have been lost. A lot of ifs. Had Ross nailed his kicks we would have been out of sight Look. The point is that it...

Mad carry on. Bot chokey chokey. Bit of a case of being so defence focused since Nienaber's arrival that attack has regressed. Bit game Reynalled. Bit Ross Byrned. Bit Saints No8 being the standout backrower on the pitch. Byrne is a shit Adam Hastings- nowhere near Leinster level. I'd have Conan st...

I'm very confused, how can it be that Leinster should have won that match by 20 points but they also should have lost it? Both feel true Mad carry on. Bot chokey chokey.

They played less rugby in the second half but their error rate was also much lower. Both their tries were caused by kicking in behind and watching the chaos of Leinster not dealing with it unfold. Reminded me of England in the six nations. Only they also had an attack that clicked. Keenan a huge lo...

Tyler Bleyendaal will sort your attack out. Not with Byrne Snr at ten, mind you.

He might well sort it out by having ye play nine man rugby with 6-2 bench splits.

And ye'll learn to love it

Saints should've subbed Mitchell sooner. And his excellent late breakdown effort apart, I'd be interested in seeing Doris's stats because my sense is he had another one of those games he too often has, where he drifts out of games and makes little impact. Certainly in second half. Really Leinster, w...

Right. I've a dinner to.cook. Enjoy the night Leinsterites.

Unless Saints can engineer the first score this half, ideally early, this is done.

redderneck

Think Leinster will be annoyed at themselves there. Stopped going through the gears for much too long until stung by the Saints blown chance. Should be further ahead for the level of control exerted.

Keenan is a huge bloody loss to the backline cohesion in attack.

Jeeeeeeezis Saints.

Great t/over

They can calm down and it ain't going to help much frankly. Pack are getting reamed as a unit.

Outstanding VDF

Saints can't play their wide all court game when their pack are not getting them on front foot. This game is over unless they fix that. So many errors in contact.

I don't want to despoil the beautiful innocence of your unspoiled mind, but do you think it might just be possible that the IDF are fibbing a little bit? Truth is the first victim of war, both sides are using propaganda I expect. I just can't see why people come down so hard for either side. Its ju...

Hybrid. 2/3 days p/wk. Love the flex. Even the 2/3 in the office are into a remote/non- HQ gaff. That said, if I were younger and at earlier stage of playing organisational snakes & ladders, I'd be concerned. Have seen plenty of evidence that being remote from certain bosses - especially if compound...

Leinster pack should do a number on the saints, its Mitchell and Smith that could win it for them if they get any kind of nudge up front. Don't get suckered into a shootout. Just fcuking batter 'em up front. We didn't have the cattle; esp. when dipping into bench. You certainly do. That pack can be...

Feck it.

I'm still giggling every time I revisit this page and see Nols' "rage wank" reference.

Maturity eh. Someday.

Sometimes the point of moving is that you're either going to make it in your new position or not at all so it's worth a shot if you want to make it to the top. It's a real hoor of a question/tipping point for a youngster. They're driven personality types to varying degrees (the odd naturally gifted...

Wasn't there a genius on here who insisted BOD should be selected at 7 in the latter stages of his career? I certainly posited that flanker had become the best fit for him in the latter part of his time, when his pace had gone. He played more like an auxiliary flanker at that stage than a centre. I...

I'd have Edogbo Jr on the wing. He was quiet enough for the U20s as a backrow but it was in the loose, open play where he looked best. I think Quinn should have been in the front row but that ship has probably sailed. He could have been a 125kg ball carrying prop. Part of me wonders is there still ...

redderneck

they've high hopes on some lads in school.. wait and see. they'd be smart to move Edogbo there, but I doubt it happens. The backrow to centre thing is always good for pubtalk but does it really happen successfully at the top level all that often? I can think of an handful of international examples ...

He means Ulster topped the table in 12/13 so would have had trophy in straight league. I think. He can't possibly be saying they'd have definitely won at home. Yep, I was saying we'd have won if it was just a league and then shot ourselves in the foot with where we designated the final to be played...

Meh. Etzebeth has misinterpreted the Irish comments as arrogance/overconfidence, when what it was, was fairly typical Irish soft-speak out of respect for the team just beaten. Offering a recognition that they'd still be one of the ones to beat in the tournament, despite the loss today. Comments were...

Meh. I'm not about to asterisk Munsters 🏆 from last season, but in my own head I'm still old fashioned enough to regards Leinster as having been the best side in the league last season, followed by Stormers, Glasgow, Ulster (think?).

Yeah phenomenal. What age is he, could he come into the mix at Munster at all? Don't know tbh.

That brillant tackle by the con winger on Phillips was probably the winning of the match, he showed great pace. Gick blew it they were playing 14 men for 60 mins and 13 for 20.

Whatever it costs to digitise the system, spend it. Because absent reliable and realtime (or recent snapshot) data availability, managers cannot manage. They are flying blind. They are not managers they are chancers. I am around long enough to believe that it has become screamingly obvious that ther...

All 4 Irish provinces in the top 8 of the URC. Got to be happy with that considering the ups and downs. But definitely couldn’t be happy with Connacht and definitely 2nd/3rd string Leinster today (the talent line having a little hiccup ). Yeah great couple of weeks for the provinces even if Leinste...

Missed this but have recorded so looking forward to seeing AK and Crowley from comments here. Great for AK to find some form after some on here were writing him off a little bit too prematurely given he’s the same age as Osbourne and Cathal Forde ffs.
