Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I'm beginning to think Luke Fitz punditry is designed to lure morons into placing properly stupid bets in bookies/online gambling. There's not much else which could explain it. He wasn't concussed often enough as a player. I've several different mates who know him well enough and he's always come a...

Re: 6N - Official Ireland v England thread, Feb 2nd, KO @ 16

May was brilliant yesterday, fielded the ball like a top class fullback. Didn't think he had that rounded a game.

Don't think anyone would have lived with England yesterday, they were excellent in every facet.

Does anyone think Schmidt has actually watched this or any of the games on the weekend? I would be stunned if an obsessive like Schmidt hadn’t. Whether it will make a difference is another question.

I'd go Conway as well. His defensive ability puts him some way ahead of others for me. We have a clutch of back three players who are good - excellent in an attacking sense, but defensive lapses in waiting still. If it's not Senior, then whomever it is needs a run there, to bed in defensively. I th...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

When Costello came back into the Ireland team around 2002/03 he'd sorted out his work rate. Good portion of his career was wasted. I'd say of all the players that have played for Ireland he's still the one I'd shit myself the most having to tackle head on.... Maybe Kevin blockhead Maggs too.

Tom Court was a good LH, definitely a step below Healy/McGrath but still a good player. He'd probably lose out to Kilcoyne as Kilcoyne brings a lot of dynamism but he was well able to scrummage (at LH) and do the other basics of the job well. Unfair he's remembered for that Twickenham reaming, he wa...

Not against their return to a province, but you can be damn sure they’ll never don an Irish jersey again. The IRFU would open themselves up to all sorts of law suits if they did.

It's great, I have a smart Sony TV but run everything through the Chromecast regardless. Has more apps that work through it and just seems less buggy a lot of the time. It powers itself from a USB port so if your TV has one you don't need to plug into mains.

Leinster have themselves to blame, haven't seen such poor discipline in a long long time.

No intent on the Lowe incident but that's the law. First time in three games a cast iron red card decision went Munster's way tbf.

Both are all time Irish greats. Woodie was the best player in his position in the world for a good chunk of his career (imo), I wouldn't say Best has been despite being a ligind.
