Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Several Gardaí are now being brought before the Courts on serious corruption charges amongst other things. https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/courts/2024/03/25/dublin-based-garda-charged-with-perverting-the-course-of-justice-and-burglary/ I would not be at all surprised to find out that the Commi...

Re: URCR13 Leinster vs Bulle
The team that played last year is probably the weakest team we've ever played in the league. We'd already secured top spot by then (and only needed a point, I think it was, to guarantee top spot on that tour,), so we sent no one relevant to our run in at all. Some of the same players may be involve...

Re: Leinster's Saffer lock is on his way back to SA
There is a lot to come from Jenkis. He is lucky and managed to stay injury free. He is one of the few players in World Rugby that can play at four, five, six (seven in SA) and eight. He is a great ball carrier. Sharks can field a mean pack with him and some others that are returning,. They already ...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
One takeaway from the weekend for me is Scott Wilson. Every time I've seen him he has been very impressive and he came off the bench and was rock solid against Ox Nche on Saturday. He could be the new Furlong. Don’t think he’s as good as furlong. Furlong when younger was a world class scrummager, w...

Re: Irish Courts: U.K. not a safe country
Never supported the IRA but it was torture, which was pointless when they had so many informers in their ranks. The point I am arguing is Camroc's claim that the British were found guilty of torture. No matter how nasty their behaviour was, nor what anyone's opinion was, they were not so found by a...

Re: The best new and returning TV series of 2024?
Enjoyed the final episode of masters of the air. Overall well worth a watch. I was getting tense in that last "run" they went on. I'm looking forward to a rewatch in a years time to see how it holds up because I really enjoyed the series. There was a marauder named " flak bait" that survived many m...

Re: Irish navy missed drug bust because of St Patrick’s Day
The defence forces are hugely under-invested in. The Navy is the worst. They have such a recruitment and retention problem that they can't keep all vessels operational. It's a shambles. The RAF and Royal Navy do the Russia monitoring activities. All the Air Corps and Navy need to do is fisheries pa...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
We had a few players looking tired towards the end of the Championship. With the RWC extending the early part of the season, we could have done better with squad rotation. e.g. Beirne and Doris on the bench for Scotland. Henderson and Conan to start - even Baird at lock if they really felt the Jokk...

Heard on the radio yesterday that Scotland haven't won at Lansdowne since 1998, that surely can't be right? I remember they won in Croke Park around 2009 or thereabouts. It's correct. Just that one victory in Ireland since 1998 and that was 2010 Croke Park. A shit show before that for us with no wi...
