I think you mean 'coach'. He's a first choice Leinster player and has yet to be dropped by Schmidt, starting pretty much every game he's been fit to play. If Fitz was an NIQ Leinster would resign him and probably pay him in the region of what he's asking for. They're not allowed do that and that's ...

Also, shit craic about Fitz possibly leaving. The IRFU are being retards. SHOW HIM THE MONEY. Why? He's not established in the national squad & there seems every chance that he never will be. He has been passed by several of his peers & is being pressed by others coming up behind him. Isn't this ex...

What a dick. Just fudge off ROG "Calls for my retirement ... what a joke given my record over the last few years," O'Gara said. "Why should I? Anyone who knows me knows I'll be the first to call retirement when my time is up. And I can assure you my time ain't up. I plan to play for my country unti...

Worrying reports Luke Fitzgerald may be leaving Leinster.... He's being offered a new contract with a 30% drop in salary. Not happy obviously and could join TOL or head to France. It's not what he wants so lets hope this gets sorted. Here's the IT article on it today. http://www.irishtimes.com/news...

Were 2011 England a good team? By good teams I basically mean the Tri-Nations and sometimes France. I mean, we've dicked Italy and Scotland this season, lost to the Scots pre WC and at home in the 6 Nations last time we played 'em in Dublin. They were going for the Grand Slam until they met us.

Kidney has never had a vision of how he wants Ireland to play bar hoofing the ball to the oppo and hope they fudge up. He has never had a Plan B. It means we squeek out narrow victories when we should be putting teams to the sword, and conversely means we are going to be on the end of some heavy sc...

Interesting piece on an Earls BOD Centre combination from the indo. http://www.independent.ie/sport/rugby/is-odriscolls-number-up-3059455.html Nothing to do with the main thrust of the article, but I thought that this deserved to be highlighted (in memory of whichever poster it was who wanted to mo...

So you challenged me to give an opinion; I do & not even a whisper in response. We really would rather abuse than debate.

lilyw

you were doing fine til the last sentence. Joe schmidt is something special and I say that with the greatest respect to Cheika and others. Scmidt has his players punching way above their weight playing rugby the way it should be played with an intensity and skill and belief that makes it look easy....

I hadn't realised that they take the tips off the horns (like in bullfighting). Apparently it affects the bull's ability to judge distances when attacking.

The clubs will not be happy. A few of them are quite attached to having the odd big name attached to them should the need be there to parachute them in for a crucial game, subject to it not being against Munster's best interests. There is value in younger/returning from rehab players getting AIL ti...

A great statement of intent from Connacht, delighted with this news. We're probably upgrading from Hagan which is superb.

This. My experience is very similar. And while I never coached swimmers, I was a swimming teacher to the very young and also first time adult swimmers, and I loved it.

:thumbup: Great post lilyw. Where are you if you don't mind my asking?

Should have been playing rugby instead - he might have learned some handling skills if he had.

as important it is for them to have fun, learning a lot from it (personal and game development) is just as vital. regardless of what adults think about kids playing just for fun and enjoyment, they still care about winning.

For my sins (among other punishments) I am chairman of a swim club. Today we ran our annual gala & through a combination of circumstances it ended up being focussed on younger swimmers (aged 7-11).

Considered points? "Hmmm we have shit centres but let's make Sexton pass them more ball so the pack can spend even more of the match trying to dig the ball out from behind the gainline" Who said that?

Scumbag sport. It was nice of the GAA to let people in for a fiver, seeing as the vast majority of their fans are unemployed dole-scrounging scum.
