The standard in Super Rugby was never wildly higher than in NH rugby. He's a decent 10 who Wales never properly used.

It's a complete waste of time beyond the Junior Cert to force people to "learn" it (nothing is learned beyond Junior Cert unless you want to put yourself through Honours Irish). It would put the cat amongst the pigeons though for many if it was "degraded". I'm not bothered either way but could you ...

so Ming wasnt bullshitting after all ! that would be one sh1t reason to go to jail for a year but pretty fcuking stupid/nasty https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2024/0228/1434841-luke-ming-flanagan/ This type of stuff needs to carry a higher sentence to reflect the pain inflicted.

South Africa can't claim Duhan anymore. Nobody even knew him when he left. He obviously benefited massively from the coaching he received so Scotland should take the credit for making him into an international, so I wish him all the best and it's great to see him doing so well. Played for the 20s a...

Would have been very straightforward for the FAI. Why would anybody believe they'd lie?

Scotland's pathways within Scotland are poor but Scotland's knowledge of its diaspora is second to none.

Oh 100%, but that's far less sustainable.

Scotland's underage pathways are fairly poor, are they not?

It's strange no one has dug into it when you think a high enough % of Irish players going to England seem to pass through a small enough set of clubs, Home Farm and St Kevins etc. Ah I'm not sure people like those sort of issues. Also, presumably most of it is spent on the clubs. I just wonder why ...

anonymous_joe

He is running for an MEP seat to solve the (checks notes) Irish housing crisis. Grifter. This. 100% this. Only one thing better than the academic gravy train (if you can get tenure), that's the Euro-POL one. Eh, even with your caveat, that's not reflective of reality. I agree with you up to a point...

anonymous_joe

There's money involved too. A 15 year old going to England is worth a lot less than an 18 year old who merits it, but for a junior club, that can make a difference. It's a numbers game too though. All underage clubs retain a right to a % of future transfers of players they've developed, afaik. So i...

It'd be years and years. There is zero (honest) administrative talent within the FAI generally to call on, imo. The Champagne Football book makes it pretty clear not many within the FAI really had much issue with Delaney. I'm not sure how one goes about reforming an inherently dishonest organisatio...

How long would that ban be? They shouldn't be getting a cent of funding until they sort themselves and if it's a few years in the wilderness that is needed in order for there to be meaningful change, then burn it.

A few match thoughts: The not great Henshaw was much poorer than the earlier rounds. We must have gone back to the world cup lineout calls :uhoh: . And we really missed Keenan adding a bit of pace from the back. I thought Doris pretty quiet. He seems to either be the best player on the park or a bi...

It's a problem for the person owning the house who can't use the house as they wish, within reason. All for decent notice for long term tenants but no ability to get your house back at all other than under narrow conditions? Don't rent it out, then. The idea of the temporary lease while you go abro...

anonymous_joe

For new tenancies yes and with some very limited exceptions. You shouldn't be in the housing game if you're not in it for the long haul. Housing isn't just any commodity. Its what makes renting for life possible in large parts of the continent. And that's fine for people who chose to enter the rent...

anonymous_joe

So once you're in a place it's yours forever as long as you're good? That's not a problem if you're paying rent and the rent is not itself fixed. Nardol's plans for caps can be reasonable too.

No fault eviction bans should be law. Conversely at fault evictions should be 1000 times easier and quicker. Some rent price regulation I am ok with. Mainly around max rent increases for sitting tenants. So once you're in a place it's yours forever as long as you're good? That's not a problem if yo...

It’s not like the law library, these people are actually trying to help people it’s not a profession populated with sharks and chancers They're trying to help people by not investigating something until it becomes politically impossible not to?

It's relevant because the schools in Leinster are churning out players, outside Leinster it's less clear. If clubs won't supply talent anymore, schools rugby needs to improve across the island.

anonymous_joe

There are private schools in Northern Ireland I thought they weren't? If so, they must just be shít. They aren’t technically private schools They still fall within the grammar system If your kid passes they can go to them with minimal cost If your kid really wants to go and isn’t completely retarde...

Leinster are brill. Methody have completely lost their way. RBAI, CCB and Methody should be Ulsters equivalent of St Michaels and Blackrock, historically they are. Didn’t a poster on here sua they have produced more Lions or Irish internationals than any other Irish school? Apparently Methodys coac...

anonymous_joe

I hear Blackrock gave RBAI good beating in a game last October. 27-0 or something like that. IRUA will know. That's the current gap between best schools in Leinster and Ulster And Wallace gave Inst a good beating by a similar margin probably around the same time when they were missing a load of the...

Aki, McCloskey, Henshaw and Ringrose is probably as good a midfield stable as we could get. D'Arcy and O'Driscoll never had that level of competition.

Genuine question. If someone dies because of organisational problems, is that MedNeg? Like an individual doctor misdiagnosing something through lack of care is MedNeg, I get that. It's an individual responsibility. What about if there's a systematic failure, like chronic under staffing, or bureaucr...

So that you don't have to, I'm exploring the bakery/artisan pies of Auckland. No need to thank me.
