Which is a shame when you consider the history of that Irish rider.

Ah sure it was the horse that was on the drugs, not the rider, so it was.

epaddy

Pray that the horse has laid off the hard stuff.

epaddy

Yesssssssss

epaddy

If this Brit twat faults we have a medal.

epaddy

Yes, so he's a least in a jump off for a medal.

epaddy

Still in with a decen shout of a medal. Two hundredths of a second though, that's very unlucky.

epaddy

fudge you frenchie. We need the next four to fudge up too.

Given that the naming rights to the RDS arena are the only hold up to the ground expansion according to the last Leinster update, it would appear that we might not have long to wait : The Irish Times - Monday, August 6, 2012 Liberty Mutual in talks over RDS naming rights Leinster playing at their h...

Tommy Bowe claims he always wanted to return to Ulster Tommy Bowe has revealed Ulster was always his preferred destination when he decided to leave the Ospreys. The Ireland wing is back at Ravenhill after four years in Wales and although other clubs were chasing his signature, says he wanted to ret...

Why should academy players be off limits? :? We're always saying there's not enough movement of fringe or young players amongst the provinces, especially where there is a deficit in one province and strength in another. Why on earth is approaching a good youngster, be it Munster offering Fitz an ea...

epaddy

The provinces should not have the luxery of bringing in players like Goodman to cover these positions. Third choice 10 or any position should always be an inexperienced kid. I'd agree, not happy with the signing. Still, I don't think Schmidt is an idiot so I'm assuming there is some kind of logic b...

epaddy

Noel Reid Reckon we'd really be using him as our bench 10 in a big game if one of the lads got injured? Maybe that's what has prompted the Goodman signing. Guess he takes the place of Matt Berquist. He was sorta signed as second choice OH wasn't he? Him getting injured was the best thing to happen ...

2 NIQ starters at prop x( The Afoa situation is worse, when you consider Ulster have had Andress and Fitzpatrick available to them. Andress? He's not been availble to Ulster for 6 years :? He hasnt been available since? Was it not you who told me they had planned to bring him back last season?

Horan was given the contract in March, he wasn't good then, but had yet to really fall apart like he did in the last 6 or so weeks of the season. Hopefully he doesn't play any rugby, I can't imagine Penney, coming in without any loyalties, will select a guy who can't run any more, even if he is sti...

The bottom line is that on the recent tour we played by far our best rugby with a few Leinster units in place which means that Kidney is incapable of gelling arguably better players into the national side so we are better off as long as Kidney is coach picking as many Leinster players as possible b...

Can we not suspend this thread until he actually goes. The faint bit of hope I get every time I see it on the front page followed by the dejection when I open it only to see one of Camrocs bumps is killing me.

epaddy

We don't do resignations in this country, but if there ever was to be one, it has to be now.

epaddy

Master motivator. Never been more embarrassed watching Ireland. A shame.

epaddy

Wait, Williams hasn't any caps and played for Munster for 2 years. Unless his Junior All Black caps bind him to NZ (was the maori not their 2nd team until recently) he will become IQ after 1 season. Not too bad if thats the case. Can someone check? I'm at work Think residency has to be continuous? ...

Will post in more detail later when I'm not posting from my phone with shit signal.

Nick Williams is now deadly, you heard it here first lads.

Slim. Won't get out of their pool in the HEC and mid table in the rabbo

What a beautiful sight that is. Furlong for president.

epaddy

Fair play to Nelson, recovered that well after making a balls of clearing the kick through.

epaddy

We've signed Sean Doyle (apparently he's an IQ 7) and Micheal Heaney is coming back on a 4 month deal. Are we being encouraged by the IRFU the provinces to sign exiles? Ulster really are pushing these type of signings. Thats Herring, D'arcy, Doyle, and apparently Shane Gates (if the uafc is to be b...

epaddy

He's on both the IRFU and UR website as less then 13stone.

epaddy

earl the beaver wrote:When did D'Arcy become this beast of a tackler again in everyone's minds? He hasn't been like that since his arm break.

More to do with keeping the system tight then his tackling ability.

epaddy

I'd have McFadden down the pecking order but Trimble has had some shite moments recently, he's nowhere near his best. Trimble may not have been at his best of late, and I made that point before the tour and again before the first Test, but given the injuries in the backline and McFadden's lack of s...

Mulleh wrote:So people are generally pleased with Kidneys team selections for the 3 tests it seems!

After a horrific first test and a huge injury list its about time, he could only select a reasonable side.

epaddy

Is it a broken thumb or finger? Fingers can be taped up. I'd love to see him get another go with McL in the team, he really freed Heaslip up to do more carrying.

If he is out I'd go with McL,Henry, SOB, it has the best balance to it imo.

epaddy

For some reason Heaslip has stayed out with the squad while D'arcy has gone how. So I dont think he has been completely ruled.

Ah, thought you were looking for the fixtures, I suppose we will know the answer to both then.

Good post Stats, apart from the comment on ROG - he's passed it. The All Blacks could and should have targeted his defense, which is pants.
