Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

ULSTER HAVE IDENTIFIED SPRINGBOK AND LIONS FLYHALF ELTON JANTJIES AS THE PERFECT 10 FOR THE PRO14 SIDE. However, the idea does not sit well with the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) according to media reports in Ireland. With the confirmation of All Blacks Charles Piutau moving to Bristol at the e...

Berry reffing the league final again. I dunno. I know we're not experts on here but that just seems mad to me. Failure to red card Kleyn alone should have done for him. Him, Mitrea or a Scot. Not exactly the best group to pick from. I'd have gone for Mitrea though. Mitrea the only option really. Be...

No idea.
Well the Under 20's defence was as shocking during the 6ns as the womens attack in the world cup, did we leak at least 3 tries in each game?
