Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
It’s a recurring theme based on McGrath’s season to date but it really is essential that JGP stays fit. McGrath is a good rugby player but not an especially good passer for a SH. The seasons where he did well for us he always had a run of games to crisp up his delivery. Between injuries and being d...

Re: Women's 6 Nations 2024 thread
So Nardol, game at home against Scotland. Now I think Scotland at least over the last 18 months have been the best side or the better of the 2. Winning this match and getting into the world cup would be a massive deal to irish womens rugby. Am I wrong in saying that? I think coming third and qualif...

Re: Women's 6 Nations 2024 thread
2k women play the game in Ireland. All the money in the world isn't going to bridge the gap with England where I've read numbers at about 50k.

Re: Leinster Worlds best supported club team- The people's team!
Correct What's the difference? Leo Cullen refers to Leinster as a club, that's good enough for me. No need to word police. the thread title calls leinster the most supported club. there is a big difference between a club side and a provincial side which represents a much greater area. So Ireland v ...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
There isn't. Leinster usually don't hit full capacity in the rds, it's just the top European games. It's also the croke novelty factor for this particular game. Can't move to LDR indefinitely untill you hit avg attendances of at least 30k. Leinster are also stuck to a long term lease with the RDS now.
