I feel sorry for the U15 boys who are the forgotten victims of the wimmins soccer marketing juggernaut.

Clearly more talented, when will they get their place in the sun?

Munster's three best players yesterday were Beirne, Milne and Farrell. That should make Munster think, but it won't. Crowley’s performance might make the Irish coaches have a think, don’t you agree? There is no way they will bring Byrne back into the fold so no, disagree. No matter how poor Crowley...

interesting stuff from TOB on Jordie Of Barrett’s attacking prowess, Tommy O’Brien said: “He’s rare in that players are very rarely as good a kicking threat as they’re a passing threat, and running threat. He’s so well rounded. When I’m on the wing and he’s inside, I am thinking he can get me the b...

Amazing how lucky he was to be the pivot for teams that transformed Irish rugby, would make you think there's something to it. Ireland had as a good a side in the 80’s as they had in the 00’s. Biggest difference was BOD. He played behind an utterly dominant Munster pack in Europe who played for pen...

Some of the gloating from the Leinster fans is very distasteful. It strikes to a certain insecurity in their side- despite whipping the Irish provinces annually they’ve never quite had enough to win silverware. Ulster beat them twice last season. It's rugbynutz, facts aren't his strong point.

Did Farrell not spend a few years with Munster?

Deco2

He is a very well respected historian and his videos on YouTube are well worth a watch but no doubt the title is just clickbait. Well he's lost all respect with that, then. It's just an anti monarchy rant straight from the Kremlin. Bit disrespectful to Oliver Cromwell et al. They may not have start...

Halfbacks are often less about the physical and more about the top two inches. Munster tend to produce more cerebral individuals (ROG, Murray, Crowley) who are students of the game rather than the other provinces who tend to produce athletes who run fast and are strong (Trimble, Henshaw, Shaggy, Ri...

It's unreal how far up their own holes they are. The truth is that most of them didn't know European rugby was a thing until Ulster went and won* it.

Sorry to suggest Ulsters run in 1999 started anything or was in anyway comparable to the Munster magic of the 00s is laughable. None of the Ulster squad would be recognised internationally (most not even domestically) whereas the likes of ROG, POC, Stringer are all global icons of the game. The cul...

He could have mediated the situation better. Worse than that, I have heard from one or two good sources that he has essentially blocked the obvious successor ROG from being considered for the role. He sees this as payback for the way in which he was bullied out of the Irish team in the mid 00s by s...

Ref the post above detailing the Russian reliance on NK munitions.
