I thought the scrum and lineout were woeful.

Players out Kidney in.

Not disappointed in the selection, but very worried about our strength in depth.

It's not even the lads who come here to play and end up naturalised I have an issue with. It's the organised and pre planned poaching that is the project player system I find deplorable. This. Wilkinson didn't come north to try and get an Ireland cap, he came up for a job, liked it, and decided to ...

If he's that close to the Bok side I'd be amazed if we signed him, tbh. The project player thing is really balls. I hate it too. As a matter of interest is there something built into the project contracts that compels them to accept an Irish call up if offered? Let's say Strauss (for instance) was ...

New Mole article on O'Connell and Heaslip.

Pretty good read.

POC's slowness of thought cost us a try in the 6n Welsh match when we had a massive overlap,so anybody can improve.

Already on it. Choo f**king choo. The Byrne Brothers from Clongowes are in as well. Can Furlong go another year? If he can that front row will be biblical . Sweet mother of divine Christ.

My fav moment of the u20s game was an England player coming at pace to recieve a quick linout throw and falling flat on his face,when its not your day. Another fav was an eng scrum under the Irish posts English scrummie standing at the back waiting forever for the pushover but the scrum scarcely mov...

I will say/ask again: What in the name of the dear baby Jebus is anyone in possession of all their faculties doing visiting MF unless you are a Munster fan? Even then, you would want to dip in and out of it and throw yourself down on a disinfectant-sodden bristly mat to scrub yourself down afterwar...

I still can't get over Renly's last offer of a deal to Ned Stark.

Leinster Academy has been announced for next season. Good stuff, the Byrne Bros have been added as well as Dan Leavy who is a real prospect for sure. 8 new players in all. 2012/13 LEINSTER ACADEMY LIST: Edward Byrne (Loosehead prop) 1 Brian Byrne (Hooker) 1 Gavin Thornbury (Second row) 1 Tadhg Beir...

With Murray at 9, we are f**ked offensively, and as has been mentioned are looking at damage limitation only. Here's what Kidney actually said in the IT (bolding mine): The wonder is that with an all-Leinster backrow and a 10-12-13 Leinster axis in midfield, Kidney didn't opt for the Leinster linkm...

Even McFadden who must only be there as Trimble and Zebo are both seen as 11s and McF a 14 will step up in defence as there'll be far less confusion with BOD than there was with Earls. Just to remind everyone who are bemoaning D'Arcy's presence. Yes he does leak the odd linebreak these days and isn...

Buckle is not a better th then Court the scrum has become tougher and against England the pigdog front row was allowed do what they wanted inc boring in.
I believe Ross was in trouble from the first scrum,also we don't the whole 8 man thing very well

Any thread on the Ire v Italy match ? should be interesting with kiss me Hardy Nelson moved into the centre, hope the chap takes his eyepatch off.

lorcanoworms

It pains me to say it, but I told you so. Even though Murray had one of his better games, he was pinged twice for not putting the ball in quickly enough to the scrum, and his crap box kicking was crap and led to at least one try. The difference in 'zip' when Reddan came on was noticeable. Speaking ...

I have a question - given that the King - Joffrey has no right to be the king - not related to the previous king - who has the strongest claim to be king? Is it Stannis? As he is the only surviving relation to the previous king - Robert - who has no legitimate heirs. Is it the oldest of Robert's ma...

Does jon snow end up getting his dick wet? I really do hope so, Ygritte deserves a right slamming. When Halfhand tells him that the other Crows died trying to find him, and not to let them die in vain, that could only mean that he wants Jon to break his oath of chastity and hit that ass. That tryin...

Nah. on the face of it, you could argue that she's been screwed over by this, that and the other thing but so have many other characters and they are still okay.

Also ROG as captain x( Token dirt trekker captaincy? Lets hope so. Kidney should really just go to Sexton and say, "you're the main man now. But you have to be a leader and perform as a key man. You're starting the 3 tests, one with Redden and one with Murray. No excuses, go do it." Sexton missed a...

Absolutely not. Not being good at rugby does. He is nippy. That's it. The view on here that he is good stems from a couple of cameos where he ran fast and was energetic having come on with 15 or 10 mins to go. I really, really don't think he is good, in absolute terms. I think his pass is ropey, he...

Irelands biggest issue is tackling and giving ground to easily close to rucks.

lorcanoworms

Leinster don't kick the ball away because they can keep it till an opening or a mismatch occurs,Ireland can't do tha and not just because the opposition is better.

lorcanoworms

I was talking to an IRFU official be the name of kearney, he reckons the 500 € he gave Terrablanche for the tackle on Cronin was the best money he ever spent.

lorcanoworms

Well that was very f**king satisfying. The absolute best thing about it was Leinster didn't try to change the gameplan one bit, didn't turn it into an arm wrestle, just played the natural game and it worked. Was really hoping BOD would get a try because he deserved one, what can you say about him. ...
