Surely there is a way to blame the IRFU for this?

Larmour was excellent I thought, especially defensively. great to see. He has been really really good the last while. Delighted for him. His rucking is really strong. Gets right under people and clears out really effectively. Seems to be taking the right option more and more. Osbourne has been quie...

Yes lads, Munster were very good 20 years ago. Well done.

Any decent highlights of the Leinster game floating around?

He had a very good game.

Has been all game. The back line have been really really good.

Leinster are playing fantastically.

Other than Jenkins its the best we have played all year. Incredible performance so far.

Too many gifts in our 22. They've created very little. They've created nothing. That last try was an absolute gift, right from the first penalty. Throwing your jumper across the gap on a 5m lineout is schoolboy stuff. As I said headless chickens. Bad lack of leadership They need to stop competing a...

Sensational first half of Rugby. 2 good teams going at it

Point is though that Neinaber stated it would take time to bed in his systems. We were looking a lot better before the 6N when the team was starting to gel. They have only had a couple of matches together since the 6N camp so I'm not overly worried yet. I agree re Baird though. Bar one or two momen...

Leinster's lineout was a shambles and Porter looked in trouble in the scrum a number of times. I think we look like a relatively poorly coached team these days. Not sure how much Neinebar has to do with it but we are kicking away a lot of ball and competing poorly in the air to retrieve it. Our defe...

Weather might effect the margin but most likely not the result. Hopefully it'll just be windy and the rain will hold off. Bookies have it at 20pts. Think it's about right, maybe expect Leinster to beat it. With better weather I'd expect Leinster to pump them. Very excited to see how Osbourne goes at...

I am afraid - but the almost 200 aid workers killed alone since this disaster started out it is a clear statement about how the military machine is not able to discriminate targets at all, when striking, regardless of what officials say. Therefore This has to stop asap For the sake of argument - I ...

I don't know how you watch that and think red. As the refs all agreed, all the force was on the body and the heads briefly 'kiss' but after all the impact has been absorbed. Unless you mean McGrath deserves red for self inflicting a head injury? McGrath is a shortarse. Most times making that tackle...

Decent second half from Leinster. Larmour, Russell, Osbourne all very good. Good from Milne again. Need to see more of him. The bench, to a man, were excellent. Obviously Conan as well, although Larmour was MoTM for me. I dunno why but I was expecting a big one from him today and he delivered. its ...

Of all positions it's not really an issue. the top 4 tightheads are in each of the provinces, which is what you'd imagine the IRFU want. plus gametime would be fairly evenly distributed between Tupou and Furlong. The big issue is that Leinster are able to pay for both Tupou (if rumours are correct ...

One of the things I always find the most striking about NI is how much the unionists there love Britain but how little that love is reciprocated by the British people. As an Irish person who has lived in the UK for a long time, the views I get from British people when it comes to NI more or less fa...

My feeling was he was told “get your f**king head down and bring it into contact”. Which he did relatively successfully after his first min fudge up. His kicking game is poor and he’s highly unreliable under the high ball (but that was not really exploited). The thing is, without his jinking sidest...

Thinking that our style of rugby requires a serious amount of energy and if we are not at 90% plus in terms of this we can't impose our attacking game. What's the solution? Rotate players more in tournaments? I think Hansen and Keenan add a lot of that energy you're referring to. We had a mallet of...

On the day you lost, at home, to Italy - fair fucks for going on the attack against the team that won the whole thing. You mentalist Its a brave strategy Cotton...lets see how it works out. :lol: I’m sorry. I’m keeping you lads from a great night out. As you were. :lol: :thumbup: :thumbup:

That should have been a 20-30 point win. Very sloppy. Please return to GAA or ‘soccer’ - you bandwaggoners are a curse on decent Irish rugby fans. We were so dominant. Score doesn't reflect the dominance. The Scots fans were fantastic though Second half maybe. Lucky try in the first half...could ea...

Italy should have been 20pts clear here. Hope they don't live to regret it later. Yes, 20 is about right. Italy looking too good. Fingers crossed for them. If Italy had a functioning lineout/maul they would be 20 up. Wales seemed to have gotten to grip with Italy's attack in the last 20 but have no...

Definitely a turning point but not convinced France would definitely have won given what we've seen since.

Agreed -think England would have found a way.

England pack have minced the french this half.

Italy have done well to stay in it. Scots have been very good in patches. Fun game. Looking forward to the next 40 :thumbup: Scotland are shite. Italy at home should 100% expect to win this.

There is even less English spine than there was Welsh spine last game.
