Re: Official Skiing and Snowboarding Thread
They've invested heavily in the Andorran stations in the past few years. As a result, they're a lot more expensive than they were. But snow quality and variety of pistes is very good. A lot of Spanish or French would drive up to ski or would have their own apartments, so the apres ski scene wouldn't...

Re: Leinster vs Connacht
Weshties looked seriously up for that game. Leinster looked a bit off their typical intensity at times during the game. Real mixed bag from Sexton. Thought the centres, Kearney and Lowe did well. Back row and Cronin kept our pack in the game. VDF was outstanding, Fardy similar and Deegan a hell of a...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
That Leinster front five. :uhoh: If things start going badly there's not much on the bench to retrieve the situation. Some vote of confidence in the youngsters though. It's the second row that really gives me the shits. Plus Van Der Fadden on the wing. Will be a tough game looking at the Connacht s...

Re: Refs incorrectly altering game outcomes
But my point is every call is a potential big call. Delineation point. Convenient for your point that you would choose to assume "potential"="irrelevant". If there are 30 ref errors, where the result of not calling them or incorrectly calling them is unknown, you don't think it's likely that a few ...

Re: NTHCSBH Round 4: Leinster v Exeter
Exeter picking which rucks to wade into and which to not contest waaaaay better than Leinster. Other than that (given the appalling selection of that back 3), it's pretty honours even.
