Re: War in Ukraine...
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.

Re: URCR14 Bulls vs Munster
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.

Re: URCR14 Bulls vs Munster
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.

Re: URCR14 Bulls vs Munster
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.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
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.

Re: Leinster not quite as sharp under Jacques Nienaber - BOD
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.
