Re: The Big One - England vs Ireland

This is the 50th time you've posted this exact critique. There's nothing wrong with the tournament, the problem is the complete lack of respect and investment of many unions towards the women's game for years.

Re: The Big One - England vs Ireland

Perhaps if the irfu put some money into the women's game rather than just bank-rolling leinster then they wouldn't get utterly humiliated. Could see a hundred here. Shame that the irfu are still stuck in the last century. Because the additional payments and contracts has really closed the gap with ...

Re: The Big One - England vs Ireland

If that's aimed at me you need to re read. I am not blaming England for anything, I'm solely focused on Ireland (and Celts+ita as we are in same boat). I want the women's game to grow and playing in a tournament that is predetermined and where if England want they can put 50 on whoever they like. I ...

Re: The Big One - England vs Ireland

The RFU has over double the revenue of the IRFU and has to (help) fund zero mens clubs. Not all unions are resourced like the RFU. England is big enough to run a domestic competition. Ireland doesn't have enough female players to run a top end domestic competition. it has enough to run two teams so ...

Correct What's the difference? Leo Cullen refers to Leinster as a club, that's good enough for me. No need to word police. the thread title calls leinster the most supported club. there is a big difference between a club side and a provincial side which represents a much greater area. So Ireland v ...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

There isn't. Leinster usually don't hit full capacity in the rds, it's just the top European games. It's also the croke novelty factor for this particular game. Can't move to LDR indefinitely untill you hit avg attendances of at least 30k. Leinster are also stuck to a long term lease with the RDS now.
