What’s better, his writing or his strike rate? his trophy cabinet. True, it must be great being a passenger on so many cup winning teams "Passenger" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q2JQncM698 Long past his peak once he started winning trophies. He was an intergral part of teams that won trophies. ...

Listening to today's Second Captains and Gerry Thornley has just claimed that the Ireland team feeds off the performances of the provinces and vice versa more than any other country. Wasn't Thornley one of the journo's who kept repeating the theory that Ireland's performances under Kidney were bein...

Can we just stop this bolded shite? I think the point has been made. Never when there are petty internet points to be scored! I still think there is fair bit to go before we reach peak- smugness levels from Leinster supporters. Its a bull market out there. Oh my sweet summer child, you clearly didn...

Gday, ive got a nice dose of Complex PTSD from venturing to exotic overseas destinations and having fun and adventurous interactions with the inhabitants. Got home f0r the last time in 2013, went on full medical leave as of 2014 as i couldn't 'switch off' reactions and mind set which were completel...

Don't put a lot of msgs on this board, so bare with me. My mother is suffering from Alzheimer's which in the last 6 months has progressed rapidly.

Tough times RB. My dad is undergoing cancer treatment at present and the stress is bad for me too. Talk to your wife and focus on your wonderful family. YOU don’t have Alzheimer’s at present or are even likely to get it in 30 years. So try to relax. :thumbup: Thanks Sandstorm, V Sorry to hear about...

It just shows how many sheep are still living in Ireland. Thought a lot of them had died off. As for christenings, sending kids to catholic schools - it sometimes has to be done to appease grand parents/ family members etc but also enrollment in local schools . The jury, I believe, is still out on ...

final kick for a dying church in this country. There is a stunning difference between the age groups of those attending now vrs 1979. We’ve a very complicated relationship with the church to say the least. They taught the morality in the 40-80 but we as a people blindly followed. I don’t lay as muc...

Wow they're expecting 1/2m, that's huge 1/9th of your population if they get that I will be seriously impressed and very disappointed.

Started doing rowing lately (concept rowing to be clear). Diet isn't too bad but was putting on weight (bad weight) while doing weight training. Doing intervals with the rower e.g. with KB Swings, cleans or core exercises. Finding it beneficial, seeing results but early stages yet so wouldn't say th...

I see Ian Madigan now plays for the Bristol Bears! The Bristol Bears!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I remember Leinster and Munster tried similar. There was some bizarre lion in a cape logo for Leinster. Were Munster called the Deers? Ulster might have been the knights? It was absolutely bizarre. Not a first ...

I think the point of Bringing Sexton & Murray to aid the develop of the other half back options is that McGrath & Carbery or Marmion & Carbery would learn more from playing / training with the first choice lads than what we had for the End-of-Season tour last year. In terms of building for a world c...

I would say you will a lot of ggame time being given on the Oz tour. Is that just test matches btw? Any mid-week games? It's also a 3 match tour right?

Checked on wikipedia;

Jack Conan - Feb-14
Ross Molony - 2015-2016
Tadhg Furlong - Nov-13
Dan Leavy - Oct-14
VdeF - Oct 2014

So MOC did give starts to 4 of them. Bar Furlong, who was already developing, the other three clearly flourished under Cullen (& Lancaster).

Kiss must go though. Then what? New coach, same squad. There's not going to be a big clearout for practical reasons.You've Moore & Nordi en route for next season (and hopefully one of Dooley or Ed Byrne because there's no point in Leinster keeping both). I think Yer Man nailed it, you've 2-3 season...

I’m assuming also that once the minis move to a good rugby school, the coaching moves away from hung over Dads helping out on a Sunday morning to teachers with proper coaching credentials a few more years of experience and perhaps even a bit more impartiality? Not necessarily. You will find teacher...

Hi, looking for a program that I saw a good while back on here. Think it was de franco and skinny guy program (building muscle for a skinny guy). From memory had a bit of single leg work (but could be wrong)

Any help/pointers are appreciated.

Random query, but received an e-mail from a daily e-mail feed form (what I would have thought) a good source. Anyway. it talks about the use of 5x5 for bodybuilding. In particular it mentions about reducing the rest time (tbh I think 3 mins is quite long anyway) to 1 min and then also adding isolati...

Ok, being out of the gym for 6 months due to changing jobs. Tried doing weights at home - DB's and a BB. But found it difficult to stick to a program so then decided to give 10,000 swings a go and then recently my nearly 3 year old son is going on a sleep protest so by the tme he settles (if he does...

Looking into getting some resistance bands to help with chin-ups. Just wondering how you know which ones offer the least resistance? The thinnest ones. :P I'm not sure if there's a generally accepted standard colour code, but I've often seen it go orange<red<green<blue<purple. That said I have a pu...

Thats all very true BB, another element is the funding received from Government.
The GAA gets a huge amount in comparison to other major sporting bodies - you never see a GAA club without a clubhouse/changing rooms?

Was diagnosed as such and to be honest it was so bad that t was more than discomfort. Essentially serious pain in lower back, glutes and down my leg. Unable to stay in the same position longer than 1 min. As I said the anti-inflammatory's have helped massively. Will try those stretches you both have...

Never had sciatica, but have you tried the frog stretch? I find that it helps alleviate a multitude of hip/lower back issues. Presume you've a seated working lifestyle? It helps counter that. Nope I have not. Did try some supple leopard stuff which actually aggravated it a bit.. :? Yeah but my offi...

Suffering from sciatica the last week and a bit. First appeared about three weeks ago, just thought it was a sore back from training poorly,.

Help needed - anyone know where you can get a bench that can fold for storage. Moved jobs about 3 months ago and can't get to gym at lunch and kids take too much time in evening so trying to get something going in a room at back of the house. Have a bar, DB's.

Sliced top of ring finger completely off on Monday night and been told probably cut some nerves. Have bandages and stitches at the moment. So, can't train (was planning on getting back this week).
