Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I think its a great statement for the provinces that some top class players come to Ireland and don't want to leave. I wonder what it is about our wee Island that makes guys like Howlett, Nacewa, Pieenar enjoy it so much. http://i.imgur.com/32ul4.jpg Ahem, Pienaar wouldn't be getting paid with that...

Ulster should be looking to sign a foreign 10 for me, telling iHumph to fudge off and at least having a decent ten to help Paddy Jackson develop. Never going to happen though. Shame. My worry for Jackson is that he doesn't develop the game management and consistent kicking game for 10 and follows t...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Serious question here. Is sexton up to international standard? Good player in the rabo and hec but is this a step to far for him? He is good enough alright, how Declan Kidney has managed him though is possibly been the worst way imaginable. It is pretty damning that three years later we still don't...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Anyway, it's all academic if we don't sort the tactics. fudge all point playing Sexton if he is ordered to kick the leather off the ball. He passed more than he kicked, it's just that try aside, he didn't do either to any great effect. I reckon he kicked a lot more than he does for Leinster. Probab...

Where's this notion that Bowe is an amazing (or even adequate emergency replacement) 13 coming from? One game for the Lions when nobody else was fit and SA couldn't be arsed? Club level games?

I will Earls another chance at 13 if picked as no one really standing out to play there - I prefer mcfadden at 12. HIs defence better be up to it as Davies is a big boy. Wouldn't be hugely confident of either in defence tbf. Some of McFadden's clangers last autumn were brutal. They were at 13 hence...
