How'd the Leinster pack go?

Edit: Epilepsy. What a bastard.

Poor guy, RIP.

My only genuine complaint. The NCR are my favourite Fallout faction. Just seemed lazy, like they weren't arsed dealing with anything that wasn't fallout 4 raider stuff. Got to remember they weren't guaranteed season 2 - they have to make a changes to generate enough demand for it. I'm not quite sur...

From what I've heard (through very good sources) Birch isn't far off the mark. Could be genuinely career ending.
What happened to him?
His vision could be damaged for the rest of his life from what I understand.

I missed what happened, head clash? Eye poke?

Good win.

Worrying listening to Jackman there about the severity of Kleyns injury. Sounds fairly serious. Would be just our luck to lose him, having picked him over Snyman. I wouldn't be taking Jackman's word on pretty much anything. Total spoofer and self promoter. From what I've heard (through very good so...

Coombes is a strange player.

You signed one of the best props in the game and it was a total flop.
That's not the answer clearly.

Ireland's largest stadium just sold out in record time for a club game: here's how that's bad for Leinster.

Floppykid

The Croke park sell out proves that Leinster are too strong and it's damaging the other provinces.

Ecpr gouge at all? I saw the terrace looked affordable.

Reckon there'll be Hill tickets available tomorrow? Just buy one now. https://www.ticketmaster.ie/event/1800608AB00928AA?did=retsniel Sound. :thumbup: Are the Hill tickets any good? Can you see anything? The try area is quite far back from there isn't it? I was in the hill for an Ireland Argentina ...

Rugby highlights are uniformly awful, youtube only has shitty "florugby" ones for me.

DAZN put out 15 min CL highlights day after, you're lucky to get 3 min "just (some of) the tries" highlights from whatever gimp broadcaster is showing the rugby.

Super Rugby do a decent job in fairness.

So happy to see City knocked out.

Floppykid

f**ked the NCR stuff up.

Floppykid

They're a scourge so if a hammer blow can be dealt to them I'm not going to weep, I imagine smarter people than me have gamed out what unintended consequences this could have but I doubt a black market could ever make up for them being available in shops.

Floppykid

What happened to Hume?

Floppykid

They still have good backs. Good on paper, none of them are really fulfilling their potential bar McCloskey. Balacoune must be one of the biggest disappointments in recent years. Could have been top class. Agreed. But I think that's an environment issue. They're not getting the coaching that can ge...

Floppykid

Why are Ulster suddenly incapable of producing players?
The 2010s had a shit tonne of backs.

Really good bit on the 42 podcast today with James Tracy analysing the mauls from the Leinster game. One of those pieces of analysis that reminds me I know absolutely fudge all about rugby. Tough call to make, some top quality tactical analysis where I learn something new.. or the molecast guys lay...

Floppykid

The general synopsis I am getting from the coverage since our victory is that all the other provinces are at risk of total annihilation by the awesome power of Leinster and the priority for Irish rugby is to somehow make Leinster less amazing. Big turnaround from the schadenfreude of last May. They...

Floppykid

Honestly, the best part will be seeing all the other provinces slowly crushed into irrelevance as Leinster dominate.

Best part, there's no way the reverse it, the damage is done.

A lot of Munster fans very upset on Ross Maloney's behalf.

Floppykid

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...

Floppykid

I also have to say: it would be HILARIOUS if Leinster failed to win anything this year or next year. Look I'm sorry radge got beaten out the gate and booed for good measure, but you have to move on.

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

Ross Maloney going to bath, good signing for both parties.

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...

This goes on like this and I guarantee you the game is dead on the island in ten years

What do you think should be done? How should Leinster be hamstrung to help out Ulster more?

I guess, I just remember him being a big player during the 2017 Lions tour and on the fringes of AB selection.

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. However it is where they are coming though from, and both quantity and quality of the raw material provided which remains the crux o...

The IRFU can get f*cked, and so can the saps at Ulster Rugby who have tugged their forelock for the last decade You got a stadium paid for you. You got superstar after superstar for years. Leinster used their first bit of outside investment to develop the best training facilities in Ireland (at the...

He has played 9 tests on the wing.

Oh really? I always thought of him as the slow Barrett.
