Henshaw was huge for Leinster, should have been mom. I thought Coombes drifted a bit, perhaps I expected more, and he's young yet. Some of the people making comments about Henshaw and Keenan after suffering dirty tackles need to take a long hard look at themselves. Neither two footed lunges, nor la...

First good game in a long time. Hopefully he's put the poor form behind him and will be back to his best.

An Irish back 5 of Ryan/Beirne/Coombes/POM/Stander is formidable.

Start Kleyn and bring Ryan off the bench

James Ryan was absolutely unreal. Can't wait to see his stats. Toland picking Beirne as mom :blush: JJ gonna rue his misses 12 carries (most of anyone in the match) and 29 tackles (again most of anyone in the match) plus stole 2? Munster lineouts and ran a great one himself. Also Larmour was shite ...

FFS Poor Tadhg. Looks delighted to be Toland's choice.

Was thinking exactly that when he picked him as MoM...that he'd f**king hate it.

Henshaw having a great game as is Ryan.
Beirne also playing very well.

Leinster appear to have slightly more about them and should win.

Will Connors is about to show these slackjawed Munster cúnts what a proper 7 looks like.

Disappointing that H Byrne isn't involved in some respect. not surprising though.. hasn't played since december 12th. There'll always be an excuse. Yeah Harry will never get a chance at leinster. He should make the move to Munster now and spend a few years learning his craft under JJ.

shabadoo

Leinster with a 6/2 split on the bench. Poor ole Daverage, has had a great season so far and can't make the 23.

Big game for JoB.

Nah. James Ryan was outstanding for 80 minutes

Yep, he was unreal. Looks to be developing a bit of dog. He is filling out a bit now too, an absolute unit.

shabadoo

Assume Ross is at 12 with Henshaw 13.

No way in hell Ross can defend at 13

1754 reported. WTF is going on?

Am I missing something or is there not about 10K cases clearly out there that have not been reported?

EDIT: I see they have mentioned it - 9K more to be reported in the next few days.

Are we all going to die? Unlucky re the timing of Christmas and also the new more contagious strain.

:shock: Is that Northampton team as callow as was being suggested during the week? I only recognise one or two names 8 changes from last week. Their pack looks close enough to full strength - good few lads just back from injury though. Their backs are a bit of a mishmash - Furbank at 10 is a strang...

Yeah Soroka. I got him confused for Dunne once or twice and Dunne is huge now.

Me too, he is f**king huge.

That is a serious pack for the U20's.

Soroka looked pretty good there too. Big lump of a lad...maybe needs to work on the fitness - hard to tell with the highlights.

We all do it but every few months I like to point out how laughably pathetic it is for a bunch of junior league players and lads like Tickets who probably balled on the school 5ths before giving up in 2nd year to play chess really are.

My view was that the first 35mins was a shit show from an Irish POV, while Scotland looked as good with the ball as I’ve seen in a long time. From 35mins onwards Ireland seemed to make ground in attack and impose themselves and the Scots gave too many stupid pens away. And in the 2nd half Ireland a...

He is our best player on form tbh.

Attempt at a crosskick with advantage. Been years since one of them actually worked but Sexton constantly does it. Sexton just wanted the penalty. We weren't set to attack. And who's fault is that? We're set up constantly for a kick. We have one attacking approach when in the 22 - pick and go and t...

Doris the pick of our forwards. Henshaw and Keenan the backs. Murray having one of his ponderous games. Healy is totally done. Get EoS on asap. Scotland beat us up for the first 30 - can't believe we are ahead. We had a good last 10. If scotland can keep up the physicality they will win I think. hop...

Anybody claiming purity at 19 is a liar or they had no mates. Agreed - we probably all did very non-PC shit when we were that age.

PoM would be mad not to go to France. He could make a fortune there and have a proper second wind of his career. The chance to live and work in another country/culture isn’t something to be sniffed at. Same with CJ. I don’t think Earls would be as widely sought after. Hendy will probably stay given...
