Re: Is Ireland maturing as a country, or…
Except there's no regulation there. Which is why it doesn't negatively impact women. There's archaic language with 'duties in the home' and in the past this has been badly interpreted to negatively affect women but the point is that we (Ireland) still live in a society that is only slowly moving awa...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Ulster absolutely have to accept a shit season. But as long as it's done with purpose and gusto then it should still be a fun watch.

While leader will be important, it's candidates they need.
I reckon we'll have a record number of new TDs in the next Dail.

Re: Proposed Rugby Law Changes
Forcing the defending team to compete near the line isn't fantastic, IMO.
But as long as you can't take the piss and pass to the SH or something, it's a mostly immaterial change.

The mark from kick off is ok imo, because it means any long kick into the 22 can be marked, which is at least consistent.

It definitely wasn't all on Murray's shoulders and if he was playing to instruction he played a minor part in it.
By that stage our defence was so passive, we needed to press quickly, instead we did the opposite.
