Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
looking at AIl highlights, Aaron Sexton is way too good for that level. 3 tries and created another one in two game for Hinch. To good or too fast? Saw him years ago playing for the Ravens in the B&I Cup against a Welsh side. We were winning 3-0 in the final minute and turned them over about 5m fro...

Re: 2023/2024 European Champions Cup
Of course the leinster lads liked the old format, when you're always going to finish top of the group it was fine. The runner up spots were a farce, especially with the Italian sides in there. And if memory serves it was about Biarritz "drawing" an Italian side in their group something like 8 times...
