Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Healy out is obviously not good, but McGrath is going to get some serious gametime now which is excellent. Saw the stat earlier that Leinster have conceded the lowest number of points in the HEC this season, Ulster are next, 23 and 24 points conceded respectively :thumbup: Yup. Spotted same as well...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
We have wingers coming out our arses. Bowes passing is decent Bowe's passing really isn't that good, his offloading is decent but his passes are often far too high or flung out infront hitting the deck. His tackling was a bit limp today (not for the first time) grand winger, but does not have the n...

Congrats Kiwis, awesome finish, as always. Take a bow Smitty and all the players you really ramped it up and deserved that game. I really feared a drubbing, but everyone stood up and was counted. 100% increase in ferocity and commitment from last week. Flippen gutted and will have to take solace in ...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Touhy was epic last night smashing everything in the tackle, clearing out, ball carrying, lineout control, powerful scrums and acting the hard cnut. I really think Smitty has missed a trick this series as we have seen TSROFA from the lads he has picked.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Darcy is a better player than Marshall at this stage of his career and ireland are more likely to win on Sunday with him in the team. The whining on here about Marshall not getting another run when he played the full 80 last week and failed to take his chance is laughable. Darcy is (for now) a bett...

People can throw out all the stats they like about Toner but he tackles and hits rucks like a ball of wet tissue. All the stats prove is that he puts in a great effort which no one doubts. He's just completely ineffective. Not convinced about the scrum with Toner in the row either, I dont think the...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
The IRFU didn't negotiate Piennar's contract, the Ulster Branch did. As Sexton was centrally contracted by the IRFU they handled his negotiations. Had the Leinster Branch been in charge, you can be certain that they'd have offered him a larger wedge than the IRFU to keep him at home. Hence why SOB'...
