Tangentially related - but this conversation reminded me of 'felix Von luckner' who during WW1 took a three masted sailing ship to war in a time of Dreadnaughts... He also gave rise to one of the most colourful Wikipedia pages I've ever stumbled across. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_von_Luckn...

A fresh faced 40. Way to start the decade.

Very quickly become experts in our chosen field, though you'd always rather pass on the practical.

Glad to hear you're out and on the mend, mate.

And fully endorse the thread title. Had a stroke through overwork a few years ago & in hindsight, drove right off the cliff edge. People need to take care of themselves. Keep us posted

They really have to sort out how to handle head clashes. Unless it is a deliberate attempt to hurt someone. Why? Its about duty of care, not about whether someone tried to maim someone. Don't put yourself in a position to have an accidental head clash and you don't get red-carded. In this case he w...

Kinda where I'm at. Great to get the win and all but more hoping tonight results in some very heavy drinking, louder songs and good times all round.

Fkin loving the Saffas in this league. Let's do this again.

Conor, i take it all back. Get in.

If you mean the one with Nash, they were both going for the ball not a hit.

lemonhead

Shit luck as he probably wasn't expecting Casey to check his pass.

But still hard to work out how that ended safely. Direct head on head and Casey didn't change his height one jot.

HT score means jack in the grand scheme but I'd sooner we're ahead. Good value for it so far.

Still favours Bulls with altitude so we'll need a lot more. But in with a shout

Real risk we punch ourselves out, injuries, come up just short and have to field a weakened XV in JoBurg.

Much prefer Lions first. JVG fecked this tour last time playing for pride, pun not intended. Hope this ticket get it right.

Gav Casey and myself the only people in Ireland who called this. That bluffer Ciaran Kennedy on the 42 :blush: And Jackman, Kinsella, Miller etc. Would you give over. The media did a great job whipping that angle up and you bought into it hook line and sinker. I don't know any Munster fans shouting...

Well played Leinster. If you're going to banish the demons, that's the way to do it. Wide open for ye now

That's probably the game. Don't see La Rochelle coming back from this. Never write them off. I won't until there is less than 5 mins to go Until the final whistle. Understandable. But those with no skin can see that's the game, even with 25mins to go. They've got nothing and Leinster winning the co...

Leinster defence stopping them at source.

Nienaber's 14 game rule sounds spot on in fairness

Ball and opening....stop, short, find hospital, pass to triage, retreat.

Never change, Ross

Ah no, as in jump on the Irish thread and pile in!

Moot. Someone's kindly crafted a dedicated match one. No....two actually. Shoddy.

Good luck Leinster folk.

Harsh to say, but every time I watch the guy's a poundshop Parra without the reliability.

France should leave well alone.

Did someone really say that for everyone’s sake Leinster better win? :lol: :lol: I, along with everyone not from Leinster, hope LaRochelle knock the stuffing out of you lot. Hope it’s a cracking game and not a real tight affair. I don't get this, surely we're the plucky underdogs at this point. It'...

Didn't look all that hot against Cheetahs last week. Still that maddening habit of doing the hard work building a big score then surrendering every point come 2nd half.

Might take it more seriously now but if Ulster hang in there they can win this.

lemonhead

Jesus Christ lads, lighten up. Ye've a home quarter and opportunity for some much needed revenge. Enjoy it. Just an observation kid, has no bearing on how much anyone will enjoy the match. Just noted a very low-key build up in the media this week. I understand son, but it's last few days in general...

Jonny May dressed for tag rugby.

Doing well to keep it a contest, feels like Gloucester should be a lot further ahead.

what was the magic number of games Nienaber said was needed to get the 2019 world cup winning safa team into its stride ? said it would be the same for Leinster - 14 i think ? It was. Think LaR is #13. Hopefully they have that secret sauce on the SA tour, could use a favour when they play Stormers.

This has either aged incredibly poorly, or I have. Watched it recently and the wife made me turn it off after 30 mins - a decision I agreed with. Very not good. What? How could you not get a laught at Blazing Saddles?? Was pretty good comedy I thought. Never enjoyed any of the spaghetti westerns. A...

Is it over says Hugo?

Yes. Yes it is

Just caught up. Excellent game. But Munster will almost definitely lose. They can't keep this up and Saints are finding it far easier to score. Munster should have been at least a full score clear, if not two. Murray Kinsella reported that Casey got sick on the pitch - we are absolutely f**ked. The...

What way is the wind going? At various points it has looked like the ball is held up in it for both teams

Seems more swirling than anything else.

Don't see us getting much advantage second half.

lemonhead

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 def...
