On tonight's performance France or England would flatten us physically and in the backs.
Our pack particularly has looked very spent physically last 3 games...

I do wonder.of it's a conditioning thing and everything was geared towards last October

I'm currently burning Welsh TV money in my fireplace as a firefighter. Sweet sweet TV money

We'd have beaten NZ if Crowley was brought on. Guy has just gotten us a championship in his first season as a starter. Strong disagree Nah, Crowley has weaknesses but have we ever had an outhalf come in a win so big in his first season? Not in the pro era, iirc? I don't think jes played well in the...

Dublin was better value and certainly more fun that’s for sure. Craic coefficient is directly related to prosperity and yeh we have become too successful in some ways :(( Was in Dublin the other weekend and it’s an absolute dive. How it’s so expensive or supposedly prosperous I don’t know. We've to...

Bit of petulance from Smith there. Needs more head-slapping and whooping though

Wow, and people complained about Sexton getting in the ref's face

Leinsterman

So, there's this thing called hubris... If any country is in serious trouble it's Scotland - 95% loss record in their last 20 u20's games - you can't outrun those results forever. Nah, it's PR. It's all fair game. Scotland will just go out and buy some Saffas and Aussies or, worse still, some Engli...

Nah, he'll make a career of gardening.

I can't even remember what it feels like to get a Wooden Spoon. Perhaps Henry can tell me what it feels like It feels fine. There’s the relief it’s over. The realisation that it doesn’t get any worse. The memory of past ones. The gratitude for better times. Lots of them. The warm embrace of the ine...

Congrats Irishers, best in the NH again. Takes some doing. Now go and shut those wit kants up in SA. Not sure that’s going to happen. They’ve laboured to a championship against five very poor sides. Perhaps it’s a hangover from the RWC. Maybe they’ll bin off some hangers on and bring in some qualit...

Every Irish attack is full of obstruction. It's ridiculous

We're bloody jogging with the ball so it doesn't look like obstruction. A cripple in a wheelchair could move faster than our backline this evening

Their box kicking was a lot better than Wales. Both can be true

Very true

Keenan put. Larmour in. Fcuking yikes. Nagging nasty thoughts floating around and am struggling to subdue them, I cannot lie. I'm very worried now. They're going to launch high ball after high ball at Larmour all afternoon :uhoh: If they do that'll be a total change of the game they expected to pla...

I woulda gone with Helen Lovejoy. They may be useless in terms of ever expecting them to serve in government or execute any responsibility, but I don't mind them for the most part. The bleeding heart vote deserves its own party, not to be relying on the Shinners or canonising MLMcD cuz she's a woma...

Populist party in playing to audience shocker. Have to say fair play to Varadkar for telling some home truths to the Washington crowd. No shock to us but the more they do this sort of thing the more people realise what they're about. I think they're going to drive a lot of voters to the SDs if the ...

Leinsterman

Cheers both for the answers. Looking at the stadium layout again (very slow Friday for me) its the perfect advert for the need for Chinese style planning laws. Landsdowne Rd (the road itself) should have been closed fully. Traffic should have been diverted down Serpentine Ave instead and the level ...

"Saint Charlie". As you say, it's an awful disease but FFS he's been lauded the last few years as if he's some sort of Pulitzer-winning world-leading journalist, not a hack who was on RTE.

Sean Connery won his Oscar playing an Irishman. That counts as a win for us

Badly need Ringrose back in the team next weekend.

This just goes to show how little the media and us to be fair, know what is going to happen in these high stakes matches. Sport is great. Correction, the 6N is great :smug: It is but dare I say it needed the two results today to rescue this edition from being one of those tournaments most fans don'...

What did they suggest? It seems out supreme court has already acted as though the referendum had passed, I wonder if they will face any consequences? Not sure but I was talking to a friend easier who works in the Dail and is typically nailed on for a Yes vote in referenda like these. Very "right on...

I read an interesting piece that involved the Red C poll supremo (iirc) - he said that two key things make predicting referenda like this difficult. 1. Shy voters - these typically fall on the 'wrong side' of what the popular press, university sociology departments etc are presenting as the only ac...

Hopefully this result and performances will put an end to the nonsensical idea that Italy should be removed from the 6N as some on here were advocating after the WC ignoring the talent coming through the u20s too. Fingers crossed the FIR president sees fit to reverse the changes he made to O'Sheas ...
