Re: The Camino Way
We watched a movie called The way which had the actors walking the Camino trail. Quite a good movie actually. This is first time we heard about the Camino way. Anyway we went to Northern Spain (stayed in Gijón but saw Oviedo, Lucano, Aviles, Cudillero, Luarca) and when we were in some of the towns,...

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Thirty years ago, life expectancy in Ireland was 75 years; today it is 83 years. And the current cohort have guilt edged pensions. They’re very comfortable.

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Yep my estate is full of retired people either couples or widowed, kids long since moved out to the likes of Stepaside or Kilternan. You really see it if you’re ever off work as they’re all still there during the day. The problem is that they have no good option to downsize. Firstly they would lose...

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
It got me thinking that 2m people would probably have been crammed into far fewer properties 100 years ago and I was wondering where Dublin sat pre famine. I never realised just how 'big' Ireland was back then with regards to population percentage. Over 30% of the UK population in the 1841 census. ...

Leo's interview excusing the team holding on at the end is exactly why we have no chance against Toulouse No chance against Toulouse? You've beaten them comfortably the last few meetings.

That accident in Baltinglass at the weekend is a real shitshow. The driver of the car is a 16 year old from a highly dysfunctional family with intergenerational alcoholism and neglect. The victim, a 15 year old, is the third member of her family to die tragically. She had another sibling killed in ...

Re: Heineken cup Semi Final 1- Leinster vs Northampton
Leinster looked a bit unfit, or haven't played enough- an edge missing. Steel sharpens steel etc. I think/hope Nienaber is using the Bok method of peaking for the final - sending basically a C team to South Africa last week, before he arrived we would probably have sent a much stronger team. Just l...

I'd be interested in seeing Doris's stats because my sense is he had another one of those games he too often has, where he drifts out of games and makes little impact It's not quite a full picture but Doris had the joint second involvements (pass/run) outside the half backs with 21 (Henshaw top wit...
