Yeah, thought he was fairly conspicuously off the pace tbh but this season has been fairly weird timed for him, joining Munster in November etc. Fair comment. No preseason, or a messed about one, can't be helpful for a big unit. My concern was he didn't look that big. Looked a bit skinny for a prop...

Imagine my shock to see EDF blasting out right wing talking points.

Glasgows tactics seem to be to keep possession go over and back repeatedly until they get a penalty, kick to the corner, maul. They did the same against Ulster last week. They've a good maul in fairness. Without the maul they look fairly bereft of anything else. No real incision or super hard carry...

They are a filthy team. Nothing we didn't already know but pure scum.

The (not insignificant, it must be said) difference with Kleyn is that he IS ALSO a capped Irish international, as well as now being a capped Springbok and RWC winner. As much as we can ask for loyalty from the likes of CJ Stander and Isaac Boss after they retire from the game, it’s reasonable that...

Drunken Ireland players allegedly ruining everyone 's evening at Hozier being tall and loud. Also a specific mention of the crowd being small women and diverse.

County only or do you have a club team?

Not sure you need a club team if you went to the best school in Ireland.

Class. Be great to have Penney back in Thomond.

Might need to do a stadium tour for that, the rumour doing the rounds was PUC.

Is there anything to be said for a good ole "BOOO!"?

Mad :lol: It's Will Owen who did that, is that squidge's own account? He might have a point if LI were the only team in this situation but given COVID happened and then not one but two other clubs in that league have gone under this season, it seems like more than a stretch to blame PJ's signing.

Forgot Ahern existed for a while there.
I still think he is one of the higher ceiling prospects in the country, but he hasn't had the year that I thought he might
How long has he been back from injury?

Think the Munster A game at the weekend was his return from injury.

Cossax

700+ metres made by Ireland after 60 minutes.

Small quibble, but not a single Benetton lineout has been thrown straight yet. Have many been challenged? There's a new law that means if you don't compete, they ignore the crooked throw. Eh, you sure? Treviso just had one called, all our lads on the ground. Think that's for next season?

Mossy Lawlor coming to Munster as skills coach for next season. Always good to see an Ardscoil alum around.

Yup, Leamy is obviously some kind of savant. Is Fekitoa a guaranteed goner? Because that performance was something to build on. I had heard they were looking to offload him, I hope they don't as I had said he was escapegoated for the early season stuff. Any idea where we'd be looking to use the NIQ...

The42 and Reddit are all "man up snowflakes" for Celtic Symphony being played at a game, but wanted Marler strung and quartered for a mum joke. Always the same - it's banter when they do it, bullying when it's done to them etc, though surely reddit is mostly bots? Nah, just a load of Squidge dorks....

Bit shit if he and Cooney beat Ireland in a test match.
Cooney has Scottish parent, right? What about Healy?

No real issue with playing for both your parents' nations.

Healy has a Scottish grandmother, I think.

Crowley played 15 minutes of the second half at 10, not a very long time admittedly but he still managed to fúck up a penalty kick - don't think he actually did anything else of note, certainly didn't "get us playing in the right parts of the pitch" or "unlock their defence", or "put runners into s...

I think my disdain for Niall Scannell is well documented at this stage, but until Baron works on his darts, I don’t think you can play him ahead of the old dog. I’d love to see Crowley start, but I’ll be stunned if it’s not Carberry and to be fair, he’s shown a few glimpses in recent weeks. Will be...

Were we avoiding giving Crowley the ball a lot or was JGP just making the play calls? I was only half catching the game on my phone but it seemed JGP was hitting everyone except Crowley in phase play bar a few minutes at the start of the second half. Casey seemed to hit up him in the few minutes the...

Starting to look like Killer is on the downward phase also, leaves us very reliant on Coombes and Edogbo in the power stakes. He looks so underpowered. Getting put on his arse by a James Hume stiffarm was a particularly bad look. Is it my imagination or is he very trim this year - trading bulk for ...

Cossax

For Munster to progress as a team, I feel that we need to cut the players who are deadwood or won't ever probably be top level - Scannel x2, Kleyn, JOD, Joey are not going to win us HCups. It might be unpopular but it has to happen. Whatever about the others, we don't really have any heavyweight lo...

So John Ryan was let go by Munster so Knox and Salanoa could develop (I’d assume finances played a part too) but then take him back a couple of months into the season. Strange one Archer is gone for surgery, Salanoa is just coming back from failing a HIA (I think it is) and we used our starting LH ...

AKA "friendly fire". I had forgotten about him and his nickname! Where did you hear that that was Ronan's nickname? Neil Best was nicknamed that due to his tendency to put in some big tackles in training. He was widely referred to as friendly fire, including on here. He made so many stupid mistakes...

He's not terrible but we always use him poorly.
While he's fairly strong for his size, he's not huge but we use him on crash ball for some reason rather than using his passing/kicking well.

What do coaches see in Scannell and Archer? It's not nous, power/physicality, set piece ability or hands anyway. A number of years ago I had hoped for Scannell but he has not come good on his early potential. Got to be scrum. No other feasible reason I can think of. Bad state of affairs - you'd say...

Higgins' political view of the world was formed in late '60's US where he attended post graduate studies, and has changed little since.
