Think it's fair to say that the first choice half-back pairing at each province is stronger that the Irish one.
How have we ended up in this situation.

Re: Anybody into Crypto
XRP pump was a bit of a fizz. In hindsight I probably should have cashed some out at 70c. On the other hand I was thinking it might end up like a Gamestop situation and the price go to crazy heights. I guess I was naievely optimistic. Having said that, it was about 25c before the pump, and is now a...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Moved the ball well in the same way Ross does. Everyone thinks both centres had stormers, yet were served by an OH only shoveling ball on ? Doesn't pan out. Sexton is probably playing at 80% of his peak, but there's no one, bar HB or JC if he was fit, actually better than him at the moment. I wish ...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Lost that on nous, so much dumb play went on. As bad as Sexton is ball in hand, his kicking has been very poor for a long time now. This really felt like O'Gara in Edinburgh. Murray was no better, gave Sexton an absolute hospital pass for his concussion. The penalty Murray gave away for blocking an ...

Finlay Russell.
He can't defend, can't place-kick, everything he tries is 50/50, he prefers a pint than playing for his country.
In what sense is he rated as a rugby player?

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
As a Munster fan that was hugely frustrating, glossed over by 20 minutes at the end when the players that should have started played. Harlequins are shite in pretty much all aspects of play and their discipline atrocious. Not getting the BP against dross like that at home could come back to hurt us....

Obviously easy when you're 40 points up against Zebre, but grrat to be showing the skillz nevertheless.

Why are we so bad in the red zone.
Why can't we just get forwards to carry it with a simple latch.
Why play off 9 so close to the try line.
