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.

Re: Northampton v Munster HEC.

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...

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 def...

Nothing in that really, Arendse just a fraction off.

Bulls not really able to break the Leinster line, 1 on 1 tackling a bit iffy behind the scrum themselves and lineout was off.

Look far better with the edge up front - which they'll most certainly have next up in Loftus. Meh
