Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I think you'll find that not once have I commented about that as I simply don't care. I did say last year that this Leinster team had underperformed to date though. And I stand by that. Failure to win anything this year (and I genuinely think they will do the double) would be an awful return. a fin...

They had the guts or a special backline with Jackson, Olding and Gilroy but culture problems as you say.

How we will all laugh when the game is dead as a spectacle on the island Munster filled a 40k stadium for a jumped up friendly 2 months ago. 6 of the top ten programs viewed on Irish TV last year were the international matches including the RWC. It’s not dying. Ulster are just shit at the moment. G...

Disingenuous to assert we have not made moves to address appalling lack of talent coming through. We have. I'll accept it was done far too late, but it is being done.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

While there is no way the two announcements are correlated in that way, Leinster's 10 CCs are a big part of the reason you can spaff 200K on something you really don't need. Produce good players and they get CCs allowing you to sign good backups to cover while they are with Ireland. Beautiful in it...

Would've preferred a wing or a TH, but Jordie is great for the memes.
Jordie and Snyman is a pisstake but very funny just to see the Munster lads lose their shit
It's worth it for that alone, even if Snyman is a lemon.

I did notice that actually. 12 is his best position though. Also Hugo Keenan.
Yeah, I guess they noticed how quickly things can get less than optimal when 2 backs get injured.
