Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
And don't let anyone say we don't take the URC seriously anymore! Let's be fair if you don't win the double next year it must be called our as a massive choke. Because we have Barrett? How do you think he massively improves the squad? Leinster are a top side, no doubt, but we're not unbeatable. As ...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
A draft is a nonsense, the provincial identity is important. What needs changed is that the IRFU need to improve the other provinces, not just let them stagnate and regress while Leinster continue to be a European powerhouse and provide 20+ players to national squads. That should be additional fund...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
The lads had Piatau and then Kitschoff and they’re playing the poor mouth There was a 5 year gap between Piutau leaving and signing Kitshoff. You’d think you would have been more careful to hold onto Kitschoff so It's clear he never wanted to be here, his family remaining in SA and he was flying ba...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Tbh, my fear is that the British State is so poor it cannot be fixed. Look at how many rugby coaches were teachers back in the day.

Also speaking of LIV, looks like Rahm has some regrets over his move, basically jumped thinking there would be an agreement to bring things together and now misses the big events and is instead playing with no marks in Saudi.

Every squad needs its journeymen. I'd say the three provinces you mention have a few players knocking about who would aspire to being just that.
