You mean like when 6-8,000 people show up to watch Connacht-Ulster? The system is working, so. :lol: Its amusing reading some Welsh people’s attempts to try and run down Irish rugby. Why so spiteful?

The best thing for me is how happy the supporters of the other Irish clubs are for Leinster. The system is working, so. :lol: Rivalry is why the provincial games get crowds. The jealousy is glorious.

Would like to see him break a few lines.. he does have decent pace when he gets going.

He's played well, but been aggressive too.

Getting back to his best. Great to see.
On a side note, I see he has a fledging sport apparel company on the side.

If Botia didn't earn a penalty there, it had to one against him I thought he'd lifted it before he was cleared. Dickson was looking at him lying on the floor with the ball in his hands and called to release. What a bluffer of a referee. :lol: Hard luck.. maybe next time. Oh wait.. aren’t you Welsh?

Is it possible to block posters on this thing?

Luke Marshall retiring at the end of the season Decent career but what could he have done without the injuries I remember seeing him for the first time at the combined friendly at the opening game in the new Lansdowne (I think it was U20's?). He was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. ...

Shane Jennings has a good future. The lad has something about him. I think 13 is his best position but can do a decent job on the wing.

A win against a team currently in 7th position in the Eng Prem, was never going to be in doubt.

Scott Wilson is going places with Ulster, came on and solidified the scrum after Ox Nche folded TOT in two and made a great tackle on a sharks attacker to stop a likely scoring attack. Been the find of the season for me. Could be the saviour of Irish Rugby He definitely looks like a real prospect.

This sounds familiar. This is what the English look to do with European rugby any time an Irish side win too many European cups.....change the format It did ring of that for me too.
