Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
No citing for Genge. :thumbdown: Deliberately elbowing a prone player in the head while you pin him is grand, accidental head contact with a guy bent double is not. Great. I am struggling to understand WTAF is the reasoning behind no citing for this. Shameful horseshit. As much as Genge is a fat sh...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Connors out is a massive loss for a game against England. His tackling was exactly what we needed. Otherwise it's a good side. I'm happy Stockdale is in and not putting OMahony straight back in was the right call. Stander is better at 6 and aside from the halfbacks, we have decent impact to come of...

Nothing wrong with informing yourself to help make a decision like whether to accept the AZ vaccine or not. But just don't assume you've suddenly become a feckin virologist or public health regulator.

Steering clear of all that nationalistic nonsense, I'm still struck by how the significantly profit-generating Pfizer is viewed differently to the relatively low-cost AZ, despite seeing similar levels of clots to the AZ vaccine in the data that I've seen so far.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
We'd an attack off a scrum where the ball just got shovelled to Lowe who was bundled into touch. Not a single player inside him did anything to draw a man or create space. Was just awful. We are well coached in some areas and horrendously coached in others. I don't think that's on the coaching, in ...

Re: France are just not that good
Their backline and their backrow to some extent definitely are THAT good. It's their front five which clearly isn't world class in my opinion (if you except the hooker position), which is quite ironic for a country longly reknown for their scrum. This. Why can a nation the size of France never seem...

France need to sort out their set pice like they did their defence and they'll be v hard for anyone in world rugby to beat. As it is, the scrum maul and to lesser extent lineout are very shaky.
