Leinster going to put in a big defensive performance.

Came here to say this. He is a tackling machine and I’m happy to see him there.

https://www.rte.ie/news/courts/2024/0412/1443203-jamie-marshall/ This is an unbelievable sentence, WTF. There is something deeply wrong with our judicial system. 133 previous convictions to boot. Will 100% reoffend in 2028. That is shocking. 100% will reoffend. Is there nothing in law to keep someo...

When Farrell gets a run of games he's excellent, the problem is him staying healthy, hopefully he goes well down there. BTW have heard Daly is going there too. In fairness to Hawkshaw he's only just moved to 13 and deserves a bit of a chance there. The problem with the three lads you've mentioned i...

how big a deal was it that Harris literally phoned in his first day to the Dail ? i'm sure its not as big as Mary Lou and assorted others would have us believe but just wondering why Harris did it given the storm in a tea cup it would create.....or maybe that was the very reason ? It was actually a...

The last time it counted.

Nienaber gives me hope though.

I'm afraid another heart breaker in store.

Agree. Leinster were the better team last time out and they came up short. Again.

Well we don't all have the Aviva on our doorstep so we're obviously going to keep our home games at home. Well, we've just been told we have to give up most of our players in the name of professionalism so it's the least you could do to maximise your revenue. Moving our home games a couple of hours...

Pom is 35 this year. If he’s playing in Ireland then he will be in an international squad similar to Healy and sexton to the end. He’ll then return to Munster broken,need recuperation and frankly he’s always been very poor in pro14 games. He’ll eake out one mega performance in a euro game putting b...

Surely no one actually believed the spiel the insurance companies were peddling? Nice reacharound for your learned friend :lol: Scarlet for you if you genuinely think the Insurance companies are honest brokers. You can't possibly be either that naive or that disconnected from society to not know an...

And their legitimacy/constitutionality being contested for just about the same time. Utterly irrelevant. Judges have been making awards based on the guidelines for (just shy of) 3 years. Where's the decline in premiums that the insurers promised? Surely no one actually believed the spiel the insura...

Who payed for the legal costs - a HC appeal and a SC hearing - for this poor lady who believes she is owed €32,000 because she tripped on a footpath

Following this mornings SC decision, it would appear that the personal injury claims 'payola' is finally coming to an end. And if you won't get any more money by going yo court, the PIRB is going to get lots of business, freeing up lots of court time. https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/courts/202...

Youre all assuming Beirne would be the player he is today if he didn't get the hard lessons and learnings he did in failing at Leinster before learning at Scarlets and then Munster. You learn a lot more from failing than you ever do winning ( within reason and assuming you've got the goods to Start...

Beating the Scarlets, with Beirne at 8, in the league final?

Ireland have beaten France with DuPont playing at 9 not sure what the point is here to be honest

The DPP decline to prosecute cases all of the time

Next time a member of the DPP’s family calls the guards I hope the guards drive very slowly to the incident, under the speed limit, and stopping at every red light. We wouldn’t want to take any risks in pursuit of criminals now would we.

The man should be getting a medal, not a trial ffs. It is just so absolutely batshit insane it defies belief.

Interestingly, I've heard that building providers have had an absolute dire first quarter to the year (e.g. Chadwick's, Heat Merchants, Brooks etc). This is despite an urgent need for housing but there's a slowdown coming in the later part of this year by the looks of it. A slowdown when demand is ...

They just physically dominated and shut down the reigning UFC champions, despite not playing at their best.

Seriously weak team seeing this game out

Duff Paddy

Getting the excuses in early? Had them in pre-match - we're missing 4 or 5 starters and the team that's playing is ravaged, ravaged by illness - Saints should win this by 25 points Ye lads are gas, so. If saints don’t win by 200 then it’s a moral victory for Munster and the Munster European legend ...

Munster will never win this tournament unless we can find a decent front three

Not winning it with Scannell and Archer starting
Been a crazy blindspot of the set-up for the last decade.

Playing converted backrows in the front row for schools?

And he's just been melted by a centre.

Not sure what you wanted him to do there - hospital pass

Duff Paddy

Interesting watching the way Ireland and England sides approach a breakdown Saints biggest problem is that they aren't targeting the jackaller at all. All of their turnovers have been conceded almost unopposed because of clearing players not getting in place sooner. They haven’t done their homework...
