I seem to remember a Leinster team losing out in SA by more than 50 pts last season... If that's not disrespecting the the league by a team that amassed the most points I don't know what is. Amassing the most points is disrespectful now. Leinster should have thrown games earlier in the season and m...

Frisch was born and raised in France and hasn't ever been in the top 4 or 5 centres available, therefore he never got capped. Ben Healy is a more limited Ross Byrne, he is not a loss. Carberry kept getting injured and got overtaken at Munster by the guy who has settled into first choice for Ireland...

If it didn't make any difference, why are ye dribbling on about it?

Jackman is saying the Munster camp is not a happy camp. Said it twice on the rte podcast today. He didn't go into any detail. I wonder if some senior players are unhappy about not being offered a contract. Was there any context to that? Unhappy can mean all manner of things. It's also a claim that ...

You do realise that the reason for that was because the UK was found guilty of of using "cruel and inhuman" punishment (ie torture) on terrorist suspects (ie Irishmen) by ECHR.

So back to the clear British majority in favour of a United Ireland. There's something deeply undemocratic about a tiny minority holding sway over the vast majority.

Brits want to chuck the six counties out of the UK and foist them on Ireland. Typical, they fudge a place up and then don't want to take responsibility.

He has talent, but looks a bit flaky. Very poor tackling.
