Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
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...

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...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
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...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
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...

Re: Leinster vs Leicester Tigers
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 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.

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 ...

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.

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?
