I think Lancaster is best suited to bringing through young players. His entire career reinforces that fact; that's what he's good at. The senior coaching ticket with Ireland should be an outsider. Preferably a Kiwi. It is an outsider. Maybe it should be an insider. Is it, really? Farrell was part o...

I have no partcular axe to grind with Farrell but did the IRFU have a chance at nabbing Razor Robertson?

Cause if they did...

Ross Byrne lacks the agility/athleticism. We all know this.

We all know his brother and Frawley are better players.

How long will that realisation take to occur to the coaching staff? I hope it's not longer than they take to replace Murray & Sexton.

Conservative Eddie

Can they just stop playing Sexton & Murray. It won't be a cure-all but I mean c'mon?

They're finished at this level. Probably done almost two years at this stage.

Off topic but very much related to what I wrote above, and other discussions I had over other topics (like “Mercedes never declared we will leave F1 because I never read it exactly anywhere”). Many of you northern people rely too much on news as infallible oracle it seems. Many should use the brain...

Well done Sarries. Ground Leinster out and got big moments when it mattered in the second. Healy isn't able to do the tight stuff/fundamentals as well as he used to at European level. Sexton isn't doing a Brady and there are other obvious older players who aren't doing it. It was encouraging how go...

Kelleher should be the Ireland hooker. Made a big difference when he came on. Baird looked to the manor born. Big questions to be answered as to why they didn’t start. JGP, Kelleher and Baird looked twice the players they replaced Kelleher - the lineout had been an issue for the previous few match,...

Why was McCall not talked about for Irish coach? I don't think him becoming the Irish coach will make players like Itoje or the Vunipola brothers naturalizing Irish. But maybe he would coach the players he has to win, like he does at his current job. It's not a new idea to get the best coach in Act...

Munster fans really seem to have finally turned on them over the mediocre rugby. Hopefully Ireland fans will follow suit soon. It's been a very long, inexorable sunset on some player's careers. It might be easier to take mediocre rugby if it's part of improvements/younger players getting gametime. ...

Eye bleeding stuff. Munster have a paltry attack. It's really desperate stuff. Are Munster lad on here actually happy with JVG?

Leinster won that doing the bare essentials. Ringrose, the frontrow, Fardy - very good. The backrow was a bit of a mixed bag. Baird - decent. Halfbacks - OK. Back three - mixed. Farrell and Stander the standouts for Munster. Where is Hodnett and Jack O'Sullivan? Are they injured? When will they star...

Just to add to this: some people are morally superior to others. Some systems, models, ways-of-doing-things (cultures) are superior to others. They produce better outcomes, they're more reliable, they produce less suffering, they provide more opportunities for creativity and self-expression etc. I a...

I always thought it was the sanctions - the Madeleine Albright led sanctions - that precipitated the half-million deaths. Basically a face-saving exercise. The Saddam regime has transgressed and we need to respond; we know it won't materially impact the regime and the brunt will be felt by the most...

Any comments on Trump commuting Roger Stone sentence? I think it's been established that it's well within Trump's gift to pardon who he likes and there's nothing anyone can do about it. There are obviously limits to the Presidential Pardon, but within those limits Trump has free reign. (the miss-sp...

Hey Mog/Ika, This has got nothing to do with Sam Harris by the way, he's sooooo 2007. I'm just curious how the Swedish is going?

Everything. As you need it spelled out. People are taking sides on races issues due to their politics which leads to incidences where they target black people due to their politic bias.

Hmmm. It's just Donal Og has got more going on than simply being gay, and it's that to which I suspected Banana Man was alluding to.

I mean, if people want to bring up Israel all the time out of nowhere, that's normal. That's the second time in this thread that someone has said this (tweet presumably) is "out of nowhere". But it's not, is it? You can read the news and it's quite clear that the Israeli government are in the proce...

Do we know the motives of the Reading murders?

Isn't the suspect a Libyan man with potential Jihadi sympathies?

Perhaps the victims were murdered because they were infidels.

Maybe the sign should read "Infidel Lives Matter".

I'm on the side of those who are not subscribed to the Youtube channels of the Daily Wire and Steven Crowder.

And, who, as a consequence, haven't been taken to the cleaners (psychologically speaking) by the Youtube algorithm.
