This Pigdog wants to keep the points difference down.

Ulster were doing alright until the Burns intercept. Leinster are by far the best defensive side in the league, always organised and just the right amount of playing the ref. Ulster panicked near the Leinster line and Leinster were clinical up the other end. It was frustrating to see Lowry picked at...

He’s turning into a real handful, powerful athlete.

Leinster gradually realising they’re never getting longed for offside.

Form ten in the league it’s an obvious selection

5 Lions Test caps at 8, and a sending off for kneeing Rutchie McCaw, if he was a bogger he'd have the freedom of Cork.

Armchair_Superstar

Lots of youngsters on here. Hickie was the first Irish winger, probably since O'Reilly, to really make you sit up and take notice. The fact that he was never picked for a Lions tour will long be a blemish on both the Ulster and Munster branches. You are excelling yourself today. Hickie was on the 2...

Comes into the line late and from depth, and never overruns the ball carrier. :thumbup: :thumbup: He was just such a natural rugby player. Timing and position...

So the Ulster lads are breeching lockdown restrictions to train while they are furloughed from work and shouldn't be training. x( Why is this annoying you so much? Ulster are saving money by doing this, is your government not doing something similar? I'm living in the UK. Ulster appear to be exploi...

Why does that not surprise me ?

One of the key goals of the IRFU strategy is to encourage the provinces to assess talent across all four provinces and provide more opportunities for IQ players.

That’s all? This is PR. Surely she said something more than that to get everyone so uptight?
AS someone already said, the last time so many tall horses were mounted on the bored was when Dev got dropped for the RWC

Indeed.

I was always a big John Cooney fan.

Personally would go Ferris, Wallace, Heaslip - think it is a nice balance of power, skill, and workrate... But not a match for a backrow of Matthews, Hamilton, and Robinson! The exercise wasn't to pick the best backrow out of available players if you were the coach, it was who's done the best in th...

Fez, Wally, Heaslip ticks all possible boxes.

368 more coronavirus deaths in Italy. The highest since the start of the outbreak. Very sobering like Statts said but did the number of new cases drop? If so that is something Dropped on a percentage basis. From 20% down to 16%. Which is the same as the day before. So not there yet. I’m surprised y...

I’ve heard that rumour about Ibuprofen so it is obviously doing the rounds with doctors in Ireland.

Forgot Hendo wasn't injured. He'll help a bit. He might help. He's the most hit and miss player in the Irish squad. He can be excellent, but he's usually no better than decent. Such a disappointment considering how good he was U20. He doesnt have the dog BOD talks about. Thats why he wont be rememb...

Toner looked way off the pace today too. Schmidt and Kleyn looking much much better after that performance.

Still banging the Kleyn drum

Armchair_Superstar

Understandable selection considering performances so far but they need to get Hendo back in and start Doris. Attack was a debacle first half, Murray too slow, Sexton nowhere near the gainline, drifty passes going nowhere. We have to get to physical parity with these packs and then just try and be sm...

We need to let it go with Ruan. Anyone who has been in the set-up will be well known to the coaches at this point and that includes a proper assessment of whether the younger lads can step it up. Cooney, Mathewson, Finlay could be the goal for next year and it would probably be fair enough in terms ...

I'm staggered he didn't cop a card yesterday. Not sure why refs put up with it. Slamming a kick into someone a couple of yards away then doing his best pterodactyl impression was the high/lowlight. Recall Carley saying to him ‘quieten down, it would be a shame if I had to reverse the penalty’, he a...

I was at a thing where Marcus Horan spoke last week. I'd make two of him now. It's funny how small some former pros are. Met Paul Wallace after the Ireland Scotland game, he is a slip of a man these days. Conversely, Big Mal is still a massive fecker and not all height either, still fairly well bui...

Harsh on Conway Wasn’t a Test wing before he went to Munster. The question was which province developed them though. There wasn’t a question. There was just LC floating some dimwit theory about Leinster as a proving ground for wingers, when the best wingers in the Test side have been playing for Ul...

Would prefer to see Keenan and Kelleher featuring in this one in the back three one with one of the lads to steady the ship. Barry Daly must be back soon too. Anyone heard anything? Adam Byrne looking like the odd man out - he can start batting come-hither eyes at the Prem, I'd say, maybe France. S...
