Who were Leinster missing today?

Forgot O'Brien was the usual stand in fullback.

We had trouble dealing with the kicking game.

nardol

They played less rugby in the second half but their error rate was also much lower. Both their tries were caused by kicking in behind and watching the chaos of Leinster not dealing with it unfold.

Reminded me of England in the six nations. Only they also had an attack that clicked.

Ross byrne place kicking is not good enough. Ross left 7 points out there Leinster have no attack other than pop passes Fitness is not good enough, everyone was dead after 70min Tactics for last 20min were shut up shop and they backfired. Terrible. Need a bit more pace out wide (which Ringrose will...

Toulouse and even Quins will fancy this

England playing no rugby. I'm convinced they are deliberately keeping the scores close for the marketability of the women's game :shock: Give yourself an uppercut +1. nardol embarrasses himself every time he discusses England. first time in about a year, i seldom discuss england. exact same happene...

Packer has piled some weight on, looks like a prop.

She's not a prop?

nardol

They're up by 3 converted tries ... The game is won might as well have fun.

nardol

At least the team got the correct decision there

nardol

FFS ref England don't need any more help

nardol

England by 20.

They may give up a bit in 2nd half if they run away with it a bit early like last year.

If it starts raining any more though it could be closer.

F********CK!!!!!!!

nardol

Should hgave been pen try for deliberate knock on

Then again that irish scrum was a thing of beauty and no way a penalty

Its like they made more wrong calls than correct ones. Womens game deserves better officiating

nardol

This officiating team is horrioble

nardol

I hope people can see why I advocate a tournament without england. All games belters.

nardol

Ireland win but Scotland 2 losing BP and finishing third would be best result.

Need to avoid wxv1.

Looks like a Scotland win cleanly enough so no go but happy with the result tbh.
Shame it's difficult for Scotland Wales and Ireland to get into the same wxv group in the current format

nardol

Bit peeved with two things

Ireland emphasising why they conceded 88points last week with so many basic things being done to a piss poor standard

The level of spoiling Scotland are allowed to get away with.

The officiating has been fairly poor all things considered in the two games today so far.

The word adult is fairly relevant. The schools thing is relevant in an Irish context as it is the primary pathway for the men by far which means alternatives need to be developed for women.

With all those swathes of Lady GAA players, you'd think they'd be able to find a few to make a team. Maybe use some if the cash spunked on Munster men, if they're only concentrating on Leinster now?

Half the team if not more have been sourced from gaa as it stands.

nardol

That's all numbers, female are increasing. A lot.

nardol

Ireland is a rural country relatively meaning a local gaa club is the only viable club to go to for large swathes of people.

Don't let your lack of knowledge of Ireland disrupt your opinion though.

You keep mentioning this drought. It was 4 f**king years that England didn't win. FOUR. That's not a drought. It also coincided with England putting emphasis on the 7s. Four years is not a drought.

Tbf I think England could get 40/50k+ consistently but like to take the game around the country. Not saying you are wrong but it’s a little incorrect. I’d take 40/50k right now. As to more attendance. Not sure they would get more than 30k consistently (could well be wrong). Specially given the lack...

Failings by the state to investigate adequately at the time I would imagine.... If we're being serious for a moment

Simply looking at health spend anyone can see it's fking ridiculous. Specially when you then factor in that if you actually need any medical attention you know you're going to be forking out decent money on top.
