Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Larmour was excellent I thought, especially defensively. great to see. He has been really really good the last while. Delighted for him. His rucking is really strong. Gets right under people and clears out really effectively. The new and improved Dave Kearney? Or the less good Earlsie? Learnage

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Didn’t think Larmour had this in his locker: https://x.com/Murray_Kinsella/status/1779804666903056652 It seems to be something the whole squad has been working on . Both the quantity and quality of offloads and tip on passes before contact was a real feature of the game. It completely nullified the...

Re: Six Nations Player of the Tournament nominees announced
Duhan van der Merwe was the Top Try scorer with Sheenan. Italy was such a success. They've beaten Wales and Scotland and managed a draw against France. They've lost by a whisker against England 24-27 . Tommaso Menoncello was one of their stars in all this. Would say it's a two horse race. And you w...

Re: Georgia invite Wales for a not-a-6N-playoff fixture
Nice warm up for Georgia. Maybe even give their young players a run out Last time the two sides met it was a comfortable 43-19 win. Georgia are overreaching themselves here. This. The team that put 43 points on them last year was basically the same side that we're currently fielding. Even as gash a...
