Murray is getting abuse on here tonight, but it's not like there's a better back-up 9 available right now. Casey couldn’t have kicked any worse than Murray did. We would’ve been better off hiding Murray out on the wing and leaving JGP at 9. Other countries would have used this 6N to get Casey up to...

Pace is fixed with Hansen and Ringrose coming back, even JOB. It's not fixed though. Those guys are quick, certainly quicker than those out there today, but none of them are a flyer. It would remain an issue against sides who have genuine pace. It would help us be better balanced for sure, but pace...

And Ulster :lol: This current generation of a Leinster people have a history of building themselves up, only one way you can go after you let your ego runaway, & that’s crashing down to earth. A bit of humility would go a long way. Yep. It was the Leinster lads who let themselves down today. Not th...

Good news for that is Baird should replace POM for next weekend on today’s basis

I'm reluctant to throw stones at any of our backrow, given how poor our front five were. Not one of them played to their potential. Not one of the eight. When that happens, we lack the pace elsewhere to compensate. England are no great shakes or they would've been out of sight lads, that's the trut...

Frawley’s probably still in the picture for 10 cover, but we can’t rely on him to be the back 3 cover, especially if it means Murray at 9.

Yes, that's why we lost.

Tbf, both things had an effect. The card came at just about the worst time it could have.

And Murray killing us
Its not Murray. It's not Crowley. It wasn't JGP. Our front five are being stuffed. And he's not refreshing them.

What’s the point of the 6-2 if you’re not using the 6 early? Conan and Kelleher and Henderson on now anyway.

Pace enough to finish that one off.

McCarthy has a tendency to chase the big hits which leaves him tackling air/non-ball-carrying oppo far too often. He can be maddeningly ineffective at times. He's been anonymous today Whatever else you think, he hasn’t been anonymous. He might be over chasing some times, but he’s definitely putting...

Comfortably the better 10 on the field so far. He’s had tougher kicks than Crowley but kept his team on the front foot.

Oh I'd take a 1 point win right now. Fully expect England to go full shithouse today. But it would still be embarrassing to lose to this version of England. Embarrassing to lose if they play how they did against Argentina, or Scotland. But there’s a SA-semi-final-esque performance of bloody-minded ...

The kick wasn’t a straightforward angle, we had been in the NZ 22 for a while, and just been held up over the line to get the penalty (think it was Whitelock for collapsing?) We had them on the ropes. The last thing they would have wanted is to face another maul. We’ll never know, and like I said, i...

Worst batch for Leinster since 2001 or 1997 group. At least for the 6 nations. Injury has removed talented players like Berman, Sparrow and Moloney. I was about to say “Hang on, BOD and D’Arcy and Des Dillon were in the 1997 u20s group,” and then I realized you meant the year they were born. And th...

Looking back, that game was the genesis of having 3 front row subs. I think if you could go back in time, I’d suggest doing it without adding the 8th sub.

That was a horrible 10 minutes for Larmour.

Try Scarlets 19 - 7. Cammy while you are there, whats a decent pub in ranelagh these days to have a good pint (and get a seat).

Skujins rides the race of his life, beats all the rest, but still finishes 3 minutes behind.

Good race in the women’s.

60km to go in the lads and Podge is 2’40 ahead solo. Hope there’s some sort of action for 2nd.

Delighted to hear Haley played well, saw his try on the highlights and he took it sweetly. I’ve said for a while now, for all the campaigns Munster fans have subjected us to to get some bang average players into Ireland squads, Haley is one fella I’d back them on, but there’s nary a peep. Hope he ki...

Which match was that then? Ireland England 1993 England ireland 1994 Thought you were saying there was a better Irish team! But the comparison is still off. That England team is not better than the current Ireland team. Tbf, that 90s Ireland team would lose to Italy. In fact, they did lose 3 on the...

Scrums have always been about getting on the good side of the ref, nothing has changed there. I disagree that they were “always” about getting on the ref’s good side. They used to be about creating useful ball for attacking/clearing your lines, and occasionally for a pushover try so your no8 could ...

Come the South Africa tour, Bundee will be just turned 35, and Stu will 33 with a birthday before the next season.

Probably Crowley's least impressive game. With the platform from the pack it’s been a bit disappointing to be honest What is he doing badly? Thought he looks far more composed and comfortable in running our patterns. Line kicking and penalty kicks much improved too. I thought they were all fine. It...

Yeah I mean it's pretty obvious isn't it? Probably 95% of second marriages have at least one person who has previously been divorced. So much more likely to be candidates for another one.

If that’s called forward off Henshaw there’s a million tries need to be wiped off the record books. If anything Baird was behind him.

I think worst case scenario for us is one of Crowley or Frawley gets injured with the game still a live contest. It will require a lot of reshuffling and playing people out of position. Otherwise just not really seeing where Wales will challenge, I know we shouldn't be talking like that etc etc but...

I want one of the refs to make a TMO call like this this weekend.
