Layden has a broken hand. Deccie is Dolphin, not Con. I suspected as much, but there are plenty of other options in that vein. Hurley is a Con man. Just because Gaffney and McGahan weren't Con men didn't stop the Mafia from having a huge influence in Munster. Likewise Deccie, and I'm sure plenty ot...

On Hurley - it really is a shocking call up (among a few in that squad). He's a valuable Munster squad member, a fine Rabo standard player that can do a job (but also be found out) at HEC level. He's a million miles away from test standard. If he's only there to run opposition drills, then surely Gi...

You don't think.....? Could he......? Is Muttonbird spineless as well as being a hypocrite?

On LOD - he has impressed me greatly from what I have seen of him so far. I would have him ahead of Zebo in the Munster pecking order. Zebo seems to lack confidence ball in hand in space. When returning a kick he looks like he's about to trip over his own feet he is so indecisive - polar opposite to...

Entertaining doesn't mean "make me think of happy happy smile joy joy land" - The Deerhunter is an entertaining film is it not? It's a very thought provoking image - stop being such a precious little nellie.

He reminds me of Will Genia, except he's a little bit more Irish and a little less Australian.

I wasn't aware I had a string of multis. You're the second person to accuse me of having multis lately. And the first was Von Duggan. :? Ah, the non denial denial.

he should of been thanked for all his hard work and moved the fudge on after the WC .now he is just going to remembered for all the bad shit and for being a tedious little fudge who made us shit 90s style.

I'll hazard a guess, more recent shortcomings notwithstanding, that the 'little fudge' in question has done more positive for Irish rugby than you could ever dream of doing. But hey. Stay classy. So f**king what, Redder? He was the best coach in Ireland when we appointed him, no doubts there. He di...

This is the trouble with "new" Irish fans. They have no recollection of just how bad the 90's (and to a lesser extent, all the other decades) were. What an absolute crock of shite! This, along with "We just don't have the players" are complete and utter irrelevant statements whose sole purpose is t...

Henry has settled into a role as a defensive 7. He's there because he doesn't have the physicality or athleticism to play 8 and Faloon didn't have the physicality to impose his skills. He's miles off natural 7's like Warburton & Tipuric. We should be looking at what other countries produce instead ...

I'm not sure where this McLaughlin at 7 thing is coming from?

Henry would ideally be our second choice 7, now where's that pick of Deccie smiling gone?

PornDog

Leaving the nonsensical trolling aside (What happened to you UF? You used to be cool man!), and leaving aside the fact that Heaslip is far and away our best 8, players get injured and miss games. Our backup options at 8 need to be involved in squads and getting gametime (in an ideal world, obviously...

Right lads, get to the bunkers, apocalypse due in soon.

Anyone else remember that really bitter one against Liarish a few years ago? Think it was Donnybrook? Might have been when Armitage was a dick.

Well that hardly narrows it down.

How in God's name do you read that as having a pop at Kidney - the entire section was about how important he has been to us and how often he features. There's no pop at Kidney there. It seems like you have made it your mission in life to be as absolutely contrarian as possible, even to the point of...

PornDog

Some Irish rugby followers may have suspected Heaslip’s importance, but rarely had the opportunity to test it. Kidney picked Dennis Leamy ahead of the Kildare man for the Six Nations match against the Scots in Murrayfield back in 2009, but the Munster loosie was off the pitch after less than half a...

NFL-style draft for the younger lads and IRFU money gets split 4 ways. You know it makes sense. No f**king way. I wouldn't mind seeing a somewhat similar system to what the Kiwis use. Name your squad - anyone outside of that can be offered a contract by any of the other provinces (would have to be ...

Edit: I should say that the reason both instances were so bad is not becasue of poor technique, but lack of commitment in both cases :(( Paddy Wallace sorted his shocking tackling approach a few years ago. Granted, he started to use his melon head to tackle people rather than not tackling at all, b...

Why shouldn't the IRFU be paying for Munster squad depth?Munster consistently hitting the knock out stages of the HEC in the early noughties helped the IRFU pay to keep players in Ireland,would Leinster have been able to afford to keep the squad they had if the IRFU hadn't been paying the contracts...

Hmmm, this might start a bit, but it's not my intention, just sharing my observations. On Zebo and his defence, for a while now there have people saying he's week defensively and others saying that's a myth. The only real evidence I had seen for either theory was Gilroy's 1/4 try where Zebo definit...

Murray is a very talented prospect and all things considered I would be delighted if he was heavily involved in squads and got regular game time. Its the fact that he is the number 1-ist most awesome first choice 9 in the world ever ever ever, irrespective of his or anyone else's form that just bugs...

Stats, the Welsh big backs impacted us massively in the RWC match, not in attack but defence. And looking at Australia, I really don't know where the "we don't have the players" line comes from. We definitely have good enough players to compete with them. The current Aussies are by no means a class...

How have South Africa managed to stay competitive with the Lions and Cheetahs being so shit and Stormer and sharks being so temperamental - it's amazing they managed to win any 3N's or Super comps and it's even more amazing that when they win they seem to win both in the same year.

Pointing to S15 winner, means the square root of fudge all as an aggregation of a whole nation's form when 3 of the 5 sides were horrendous and the other was okay despite playing shocking rugby. I suppose you have a point - its not like the S15 winners form the core of the international team or any...

Edit: You know what - same question to you Grim - what is your motivation for posting that little incorrect statement about Australia? 1. It was nice of you to completely ignore certain years, very comprehensive analysis. 2. It isn't correct, one team's performance isn't indicative of the whole cou...

:? I don't know why I bother. I give in, we have shit players that Declan can't be expected to do any better with and bringing any systems that works at provincial level into the senior setup is a complete waste of time despite it working quite clearly for many other teams, in rugby and in other spo...

When the roles were reversed you lads didn't think Munster's style should have been adopted by Ireland. As far as I recall you were busy ridiculing the forwards skillset. I doesn't seem to be the players fault anymore. The roles were never reversed because for all his faults EOS had Ireland playing...

It would be nice to see Ireland play more like Leinster if the players were actually capable of doing the same against top international sides. The point from the blog is that it was a no-brainer for Spain to build their team around the Barcelona core, but it's only a no-brainer because those Barce...

Interesting question. The latest estimate of the size of VY Canis Majoris is 1,200 solar radii or 132,000 Earth radii. Earth radius ≈ 6,371 km. 132,000 / 6,371 ≈ 20.7. So Earth to scale would be about 40 km across. Should that not be 6,371 / 132,000 = 0.48 (and change) ie. if Canis Majoris was the ...

Only 42% of the back line is from Munster. :? :? I'm not sure what the fuss is about. Apart from replacing 2 of the 3 lads that everyone agrees are past it (ROG is somehow still on the bench), the only changes are injury related, and every 50/50 call has still gone to a Munster player. With Murray ...
