Re: Current best player in the world?
Ireland have a lot of great players but I felt JvdF was the most impressive player when Ireland toured NZ last year. He's been very good again this year, but not quite at the "obviously the best player on the park" level that he was at last year. Doris however...... As an Irish rugby fan throughout...

Re: Malcolm Marx is the best player in the world and is a bench warmer
He does plenty of homo erotic sexualized posts, so yeah, it's most likely Sards. 100% Saffa though and his knowledge of Ireland is less than what he could have picked up from Wikipedia.
He was called out from pretty much his first post pretending to be Irish!

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Huge fan of Balacoune, but he had stuttery form since his injury in a turgid Ulster backline. Stockdale certainly started to show he was on the right path back to form in that same turgid Ulster backline, which was no mean feat. However I'd have the same fears about him as I would about Earls, but m...

Re: What's the dumbest thing that happens in every rugby game?
Why can't the referees enforce a straight scrum feed? It's how the game was intended to be played and could potentially solve a lot of problems and change the whole dynamic of the game. A knock-on is not supposed to be an automatic turnover. It's meant to be an even chance for the defence to get th...

Re: Where are England's world class players
Interesting. I guess more Irish players play more HEC, right? So while they might play less minutes on average, they possibly do play more minutes at a genuinely higher quality. So the difference may be due to the English players being spread over more teams of generally inferior quality. England h...

Stockdale would have required a miracle tackle to stop the try, outside of that had a lot of good involvements.
