He's a lovely chap. I had a few pints with him watching an Ireland Wales 6 Nations match several years ago.

Ireland won then, too.

It's now 26 years since we won the Wooden Spoon. I bet the crowd had better craic coming last in '98 than first in 2024.

Henderson vs Ryan is a close run thing. Both high performers.

Stupid level of depth in a few positions, really.

Jager has a right to be very aggrieved to be dropped, in my humble opinion.

Nice team, though :thumbup:

Re: The Official and ONLY England v Ireland Match Thread

I think this is massively more evenly matched than most are making out in terms of a final outcome. There's a reason a double Grand Slam has only been achieved once in over 30 years. This is the typical match a slip-up normally happens - it's away from home, Ireland are due a bit of back luck with ...

I think Jager was solid out yesterday, as he has been since he arrived. I'd agree he's current fourth choice, but i think he's a hell of a fourth choice to have.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Ireland are 1/4 to win at Twickenham. It's nice and all that there's a good Irish rugby team these days but a part of me gets genuinely perturbed by the world changing to this degree. Makes affairs seem a little off - yin and yang out of sync and all that.

1/4 at Twickenham.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

There are no excuses - it was utter pish. I know it sounds harsh but I am of the immovable opinion that there are quite a number of players in the Munster squad who simply should not be professional rugby players - certainly not at the level Munster purport to aim for. They're not good enough.
