Looks like the URC organisers are ramping up the gigantic fcuk you to travelling fans, by actively exploring the addition of Black Lion into the competition. Not only are the URC organisers seemingly happy with asking British and Irish fans to travel 18+ hours to another continent as part of a "dom...

I'm in Ireland but honestly have no idea to your question. I'm a total newbie though. I used to dabble in crypto and then got out. Wouldn't necessarily be against it in the future but I prefer stocks as I understand what I'm investing in more. I have a Degiro account but would probably prefer to use...

I would be uncomfortable if people went and invested a lot of money based on what I say here. If things go down, I'm going to get the blame! Happy to do that if we are investing in a pot collectively or just using a training account. Having said that, if I were investing new money now, I'd be putti...

We should stake some cash into a pot then trade it by voting on the tips we get here and see if we have any cash left at all by Christmas. The Footy forums record at stock picking is dire, but we are rugby men and much smarter right?

Anyone been buying during the recent tech sell off? I mentioned few weeks back that big pharma shares were cheap.. They have been going up in the last couple of weeks though tech shares have been going down. I think they still have a lot of upside. I've dabbled with investing in the past, nothing m...

They're now in with a very decent chance of qualifying for the group stages of the Europa League. That would be by far the best performance by an LOI team in more than 20 years Were Rovers not in the Europa League group stages last year? Or was that the Conference League? Much as I hate to admit it...

I'm ok with exploring a couple of eastern US teams. The distance (to Ireland) is a lot closer than South Africa and isn't that much further than with eastern Europe (Georgia). I was for the Italians joining and I was for the Saffas. Both additions have enhanced the league, so let's see what the US t...

Today, adidas and Munster Rugby have unveiled the club’s 2025/2027 home kit – celebrating the 20th anniversary of Red Army’s inaugural European Cup victory. The launch of the new home kit comes following a new contract extension that will see the relationship between adidas, and the club exceed the...

That Alex Dunne penalty was a joke. Just reading up on that. In on sense I agree, but in another, rules is rules and you (or your team) don't get to ignore them when you feel like it. I note that all the other teams got it right....... Seems quite harsh to give out 3 hours after the race has finish...

Will be good to see if injury returnee big Ed at Munster can get back to his early promise from approx 1 year ago. Big Joe and big Ed would be something to behold in an Irish 23 come WC time. How does he get into the XV with Kleyn in situ? A sub-Saharan African migrant like him coming over here tak...

Any other game that’s called and people would be debating the colour of the card. You're joking, right? No. Have you not been watching rugby lately? I’m not saying it’s right, just happens all the time. I’m a neutral here, and expected a penalty at least. I get where you're coming from, that World ...

Im just curious what the broad opinion is among real rugby fans (assuming there are a few here) vs. marketing suites and laymen. I miss scrums. Am I in the minority? I also like deadlifts and watching sumo wrestling on YouTube (really). So there's a fair to good chance i'm the weirdo. I remember ba...

I think Munster should explore selling naming rights to Thomond, as unthinkable as that is. We just need to get rid of the stadium debt.

DHL were close to buying the rights 2 years ago, not sure what happened there.
They failed to deliver.

Zing!

Are the IRFU prudent with their money? Yes. Will it be enough? We'll see. Both Munster and Ulster still turn over a significant amount of revenue.

They are. That being said I think there'll be significant challenges ahead for Irish rugby.

What sort of team for Portugal? Give as many in the squad starts/gametime or build on Georgia? For me, I'd start Stewart, Prendergast, Crowley and Gavin but do we also give two of Milne/Aungier/TOT starts? Does Murray make way for Baird in second row to accommodate Prendergast or get rested? Or doe...

A variety of reasons. A strong personal desire to represent some other nation in rugby is not one of them. That's money. Of course it's money. It's also an opportunity. That is what migration is.

Those players aren't playing for the lions because of multiculturalism. It's because of money.

Given they are all from Munster, his own provincial mates mustn't rate him. Farrell and the lads are still picking the team Or it could just be that Prendergast was having an excellent game? Prendergast was very good, particularly his kicking. Crowley still should have been brought on sooner though...

To be fair, the match was played in monsoon conditions and none of the stands had a roof over it.

I think it was generally not a bad performance. Georgia have the ability to frustrate and have proven to be competitive from time to time. The conditions looked atrocious so it was always going to be an error ridden slog.

Our scrum was obliterated until it somewhat steadied later in the second half.

69 minutes and still no sign of Crowley.
