Am I just getting old and (more) moany or is pro rugby getting worse? No, it's worse. In all aspects really, particularly cultural. It's all become very meh. I can't say I genuinely enjoy it or get enthused for it anymore. I watch mostly out of habit and, being Irish, craving disappointment. And Mu...

Am I just getting old and (more) moany or is pro rugby getting worse? Certainly a lot less of a buzz than it used to be.

Atrocious. It's not maintained properly apart from anything else.

Websites have kind of gone by the wayside for a lot of company's/orgs.

Everything is on social media now so I get it a bit.

They are, and Rassie is a cúnt, but SA are going to mangle us in 2 weeks if the forwards don't front up. They're going to mangle us. Just better everywhere.

So many rugby podcasts suffer from being too close to the players and coaches. Afraid to be properly critical of what are often times old mates.

Makes you pine for the days of George Hook tbh.

What odds we see Big Stu subbed off at 60 regardless of performance?
Farrell can’t build a squad.

Overwhelming majority of the squad over the past couple of years we’re blooded by Schmidt

Squads haggard.

Just ruin any and all discussion.

I have to say, they're stupid and graceless enough to be chippy about anything, it's a strength for them.

Farrell's got his safety blanket picks now that's for sure.

I like that Baird is finally getting a run of games, hope he stays fit.

Floppykid

Irish team running on fumes.

Floppykid

JGP kicked really well, I'll say that.
VDF has big flaws.

Floppykid

Old, slow team.
Washed.

Faz very much in late stage Ireland coach.

Hope he can find the courage to take some punts but I don't it.

Keenan can't come back soon enough.

Really bad.

Floppykid

Fair dues NZ. Got it done despite being far from your best.

Beirne being on might have swung it cause Ireland had no breakdown presence. VDF works like a horse but Ireland need more.

No pace hurt bad.

Good to see Harry get a few games under his belt without bruising his spleen or something crazy.

Nah, Leinster are done. You can't play their game with a scrumhalf who's finished. They need Gunne or someone else to be a starter.

Other starters like Henshaw and Lowe are finished too.

34 in Feb, he's gone, imo.

A lot of Leinster players showing their age imo.

And about 2 minutes before the try, Zebo said Coughlan wasn’t the quickest!!

I think Lowe maybe hits the wall very hard.

Maybe he can be moved infield but I dunno if that'd work.

Floppykid

Exactly. He was on his own try line. Went to intercept a try scoring pass. Knocked it on by hitting downwards with one hand, stopping a certain try. PT all day, every day. The intercept was on. It was a genuine attempt which almost came off. There isn't a ref in the world that would have given a PT...

Crowley very good. Should be first choice.
Prendo very mediocre.

Floppykid

Rewatching now. JGP really poor, loopy and slow service. Leinster just had no structure or pace in attack, bad maybe existential problems, don't know where the pace comes from in the centres. Henshaw looking very done. All the intercepts are not a good sign for Leinsters attack. Beirne is definitely...

Floppykid

Crowley much better than prendo. Ready to try Harry over him. You’ve always had a hard on for Harry. He’s not that young anymore. All of our options are limited. Right now Crowley is the best of the options - a decent international quality outhalf but not world class. Crowley is no. 1 by a distance...
