Tell us about English rugby. You say you invented it You have the most players of any country You have the most clubs Up till recently, you had the most money. So how come England is not always the completely dominant force in world rugby? Do you think it might be genetics? Must be humiliating to b...

Have the Trump team/allies, actually taken any cases to court where they accuse anyone of election fraud ? I get the impression that they've deliberately steered clear of doing so - their claims have mostly (if not entirely) been about procedures, methods and state laws regarding voting. Surely, if...

The probability of former Vice President Biden winning the popular vote in the four Defendant States—Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—independently given President Trump’s early lead in those States as of 3 a.m.on November 4, 2020,is less than one in a quadrillion, or 1 in 1,000,000,0...

End destination, yes it’s 10% only to the uk. But for the remainder 90%, mostly it currently passes through the uk, so you’d best get some more ports and ships ASAP there fella. As usual, your logic is flawed and cherry picked, badly. Regarding eggs in one basket, surely the exact same can be said ...

Genuinely believe we need Lancaster in the Irish setup for the RWC I'm not sure if that's the best thing for Irish rugby. First of all he already coaches half the players so there isn't a huge influx of fresh ideas with that kind of appointment. Secondly a massive chunk of the young talent coming t...

Depending on how the games fall we might be better playing a second string vs SA if we have the Scots already beaten. France at home could well beat the All Blacks and in any case either prospect is equally daunting. No doubt we will go out all gunsblazing vs SA and half the first team will end up ...

But heath did throw away the fish in the rush to join , thanks to frances insisting. The complete betrayal over fishing has been 40 years in the making. The CFP has been a complete disaster.

That it is highly unlikely that Wales will be in the world top 10 in 3 years time highlights the foolishness of any early draw.
5 of the top teams in the world in pools A and B!!!!

Absolutely.
I wonder if his focussed ferocity comes from believing, as I do, that he underrated as an Irish player.
He played Stander off the pitch, as a few other back rows have

Aye, love to see him play, he's obviously based his style on Ger Earls.

Sure i wasn't Keith Earls, he was wearing 23

Great to see two attacking teams having a real go on a wet winters night in Ravenhill
Dupont, Kolbe looking good but Maddog is putting it in as well.
Ulster back row not overwhelmed.
Stockdale is better as a winger.

Hunter Biden back in the news. I say back but mean finally. Now with Biden safely elected the press might start to cover this.

Leinster Champions in 2012
23 players
20 Irish
18 from Leinster

Surely every rugby simpleton knows that Leinster are the one HEC winning team featuring home grown players

Why would you even have a regular plug socket close to a bath or in the bathroom. I guess that’s Russia for you. Yeah electricians will refuse to put a socket anywhere in a bathroom in Ireland at least, I presume it's the same in the rest of Europe. I shave my head so it's a bit annoying A bit over...

When reviewing the 2011 HC final Planet Rugby referred to Leinster as Dubliners ? AFAIK there were only four Dublin born players in the Leinster starting 15 that day and of those four players Brian O Driscoll people came from West Cork and sextons from Kerry . So there were only two real ,Dubliners...

I feel a bit churlish/tasteless bringing this up, but.... After discussing Luke Marshall on the concussion thread, I was thinking about the backline Ulster could have had between 2011-2020 if it weren't for a various freak occurrences tearing the team apart really. 9.

Nope . We have control of that narrative. Ask Irish Joe Joes 98.375% British isn’t he...?

Belfast is seriously underrated.
I worked there for 3 years during the 1980 thrubbles and couldn't wait to leave.
Coloured my view of it.
But having visited 5 or 6 times recently and stayed, it has gone through a transformation.
Good things to do, friendly people and good food to be had!

This just shows Irish mentality at its finest: Anything british where there are delays, unrealistic quotes from politicians about logistics or tech or cost, and the swarm lines up to crow about all things anti british, arguing the toss over nothing.

Yes I think Boris the tighthead has folded in under pressure from the lightweight Irish loosehead.
