Man shot dead in Drimnagh gang-related violence was facing cocaine-dealing charges https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2024/05/07/man-shot-dead-in-drimnagh-gang-related-violence-was-facing-cocaine-dealing-charges/ The Drimnagh shooting sounds like highly incompetent wannabe gang-bangers.

Tom Wright plays fullback and Peter Ryan was a blindside flanker. Ryan Cross played 13. Wright doesn't really count. He was a rugby player that played a year of league. Peter Ryan played a long time ago. Ryan Cross was decent I suppose, that's fair :thumbup: Maybe I should have said "great converts...

I am a bit surprised by the PR reporting here. I thought the TV feed is one thing, but the TMO have the means to go back and look at incidents independently from what the TV director shows to the public. First of all, Esterhuizen did the necessary to attract the TMO attention on the challenge, seco...

Some of the main differences seem to be coming in the backs. Some of the Saints backline have played significantly more mins than any Leinster back and as I said above this is compounded by some injuries although even with his months off Lowe still has respectable mins with more mins than either Sa...

10 tries, 90 seconds per conversion - 15 minutes of game time taken up. that has to change. Good point. Let's have fewer tries Clock should be stopped at zero, so no time is lost at all. But, a secondary clock starts and it should be 25/30 seconds, not 90. If not met, restart free kick of choice fo...

I know I'm biased as fudge but I've watched it a few times and I just don't see a blatant penalty against Leinster at that last ruck. What am I missing? 19 in the side and flops off his feet? I don't think it's a life or death call really, nothing that didn't happen all game just happened to be the...

The backrow around him is too lightweight. Baird had a few major fudge ups last night. Conan was a game changer, don't think you can play Doris and Baird. Still can't believe how shit Saints 7 was. Shame Pearson wasn't available to showcase his talent out there. Never fully sold on the also-absent ...

Sketchy at the breakdown and missed a good couple of blatant fwd passes- but that's standard Raynal to be fair, he doesn't ruin a game.

Leinster looked a bit unfit, or haven't played enough- an edge missing. Steel sharpens steel etc. I think/hope Nienaber is using the Bok method of peaking for the final - sending basically a C team to South Africa last week, before he arrived we would probably have sent a much stronger team. Just l...

I'd be interested in seeing Doris's stats because my sense is he had another one of those games he too often has, where he drifts out of games and makes little impact It's not quite a full picture but Doris had the joint second involvements (pass/run) outside the half backs with 21 (Henshaw top wit...

I'm very confused, how can it be that Leinster should have won that match by 20 points but they also should have lost it? Both feel true Mad carry on. Bot chokey chokey. Bit of a case of being so defence focused since Nienaber's arrival that attack has regressed. Bit game Reynalled. Bit Ross Byrned...

Is that a meme or something? Somebody actually told me the byrnes get picked because his dad bought Leinster a private jet

It's a fairly clueless to suggest James Ryan is on par with Ross Molony. It's not even close and, frankly, a bizarre opinion that could only be formed by someone who has barely watched Leinster or Ireland. Or maybe you're just trolling? Dry your eyes stats, Ryan is massively overrated. You might th...

Osborne's ability to free the hands in the tackle is great. I know it isn't easy to compare players given the different overall quality of the teams, but it is kind of mad that Dingwall is the capped 12 in this game. He's a player I really don't see much in. Like an English Tompkins. Osbourne is qu...

Great offloads. I disagree. While he gets through a load of work, I felk we're often less "secure" (for want if a better word) when he's on the pitch. It's like he's almost too eager and it impacts the players around him negatively Ludlam and Pearson would make a difference. Furbank needs to stop p...

Jesus a couple of forward passes in there.

Scoreboard definitely not reflecting the hammering for Saints.

Real shame. Was really looking forward to see how he got on against a test side. Ludlum is a massive loss. I disagree.

No Keenan, Ryan or Ringrose for Leinster. But still should have enough. Looking forward to it. Northampton are a very good team. Always love watching Lawes play...absolute beast.

No POM? That's downright offensive. All those years out on the wing for us, you'd think they'd show some respect. Looks like a heavy bias towards Irish voters. Out of all of them, I would argue Chris Ashton was an absolute quality player. It's probably more down to the fact that up until about 10 y...

Should be some good rugby- saints play some entertaining stuff but they won't be a match for the well rested galacticos of Leinster.
