Congrats to all involved!!

The performance last weekend also put an end to the notion that James Ryan going off injured lost Leinster the final. It had an impact no doubt, but La Rochelle just stepped up a gear that Leinster couldn’t match at the time. Look, I know you're a bit of a Ryan weirdo, but no it absolutely doesn't....

Tbh, I never really appreciate what it means when people say the UK is poor until you read threads like thi s. Teaching salaries there are dire. A previous generation of great coaches in the UK were all teachers now most of those people would never go into teaching. Are the southern posters having ...

That was awesome. Thanks for sharing.

McKillop been the best player and only been on about 15 minutes

Definitely not the most talented Irish crop but still looked more rounded players than the English. Not sure what the difference is at underage but something has changed in the last few years. England u20s just a few years ago were winning u20 World Cups and players looked much more competent. Last ...

Addison rolling the years back.

Big fan of McCann, proper old school number 6. Would personally already have him ahead of Prendergast in Ireland squads.

Pretty frustrating Gunne not getting his chance. Looked well up to it when he played.

Nice start by Connacht. Hawkshaw looking good at 13 again.

Hogg is disliked by many in Scottish rugby. That being said he seems to have completly lost it and be on a downward spiral. There are concerns for his mental health, as in, there has to be something wrong with him to fuel this behaviour repeated again and again over a period of time. There have bee...

I think worst case scenario for us is one of Crowley or Frawley gets injured with the game still a live contest. It will require a lot of reshuffling and playing people out of position. Otherwise just not really seeing where Wales will challenge, I know we shouldn't be talking like that etc etc but...

Massive game by our lads; Gallorini is just a bulldozer; Gritti following on his father’s footsteps… really proud of them Gallorini is class. Was amazed to see him back this year, didn't realise he was underage last year. The right winger. Himself and Scalabrin are huge talents. Italy definitely lo...

Unnecessarily aggressive. Going for the kerb stomp.

Maybe a nod to the South Africa tour in the summer.

Careful. Gatland could be on here taking screenshots to hang on the dressing room wall. He is desperate after all.

Faux humility is your only man.

1 passive pseudo-point for me.

Irishers, who’s more likely to score more fantasy points from Doris or VdF? Currently have Doris, I’d imagine he’s more likely to accumulate more points in a game you’re dominant in. Whereas VdF probably better for tackles and turnovers? Earl ran over Wales, so Doris can and probably will do at lea...

I don't want to see you ever near the Welsh rugby thread talking about Cardiff and its trove of dogshit players again.

Scotland have to show a bit of character and go and win this

Socco

I think we deserved a bit more. I don’t get why the ref stopped reffing in the last few minutes … Italy deserved to win, much more composed side. Glad we hung on but it was a robbery. The takeaway for us is that every U20 team in the last 3/4 years has offered an incredible high number of talents; ...

Socco

That'll do some damage. That would be a very solid side. Very strong but with a handful of deserved starts and as such, not flogging some of our key players. You'd fancy Baird to do some real damage in that team. Nice side, get Doris on for VdF at 50 and go all big backrow. Love it In a couple of y...

What do you mean? Are you asking whether we have pros who are U20 but not playing with the selection because of their pro commitments? If this is your question, yes this is the case. Some key players are missing. Some are with the Senior squad like Louis Bielle-Barrey ot Posolo Tuilagui who were on...

Hugh Gavin, Cathal Forde, John Devine over the past couple of years. Centre factory in Connacht. Now let’s make sure we get them gametime. The likes Tom Daly and Tom Farrell have done very well for us but we need to make room and promote the youth. Gavin's performance yesterday was as good as I've ...

Scotland have talent, but have an underbelly that's softer than my Guinness shits. I've never taken them seriously as a "serious" team. They've had the ability to beat us in the last few years, but haven't. Every time. They haven't really had the ability to beat us I don't think, their pack is powd...

Wales have been very patchy, sometimes they do play a bit when they have the ball but there seems to be no coherent plan. Scotland much the opposite, they are playing some good rugby and seem to have a well directed plan that the players can execute. Wouldn't blame the backs too much as the pack ha...

Unlikely to happen obviously but the RFU need to bite the bullet. Loads of English clubs playing good rugby, now is the time in the cycle to get someone in.
