Joey you taking the mick or starting the Paddy’s day celebrations early ? We haven’t been that bad I think , more down to how good Scotland have been in defence. Hopefully we’ll wear them down in the second half 'Fans' like that do my head in. Nah Joey’s a good poster . I think he’s misguided on th...

f**king hell, a man died after enduring one of the most horrible ways to die and throughout it all raised millions for research for it and lads on here having a cut off him. Charlie Bird is getting all the plaudits he deserved because he used his limited time left to help others, the mark of a trul...

It's a short taxi into the city centre, and if for whatever reason you couldn't find one it's about an hour walk in the worst case scenario.

Did most of the away trips to Cardiff in the 2010s plus the odd Euro final, the games do take over the city on those weekends because it's pretty small compared to London or Paris or whatever, but you can generally find something. It might not be central is the only thing. Didn't go to any of the R...

I think Reffell has been fantastic this 6n, would be a shoo in for player of the tournament if Wales weren't courting the wooden spoon.. Not sure how anyone could be a shoe in ahead of Bundee. Reffell is great but his cause is probably helped by the fact Wales have been under pressure for much of t...

Anyone been over to Cardiff in recent years for a match ? How bad is it for getting accommodation on 6N weekends?

Pa Campbell and Henry McErlean probably the fastest and most skillful of the back three players over last few years . Hopefully both will come good

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 ...

Fair play Derwyn they just keep getting better

It's poor management of resources in fairness - though Healy was dropped from the Scottish bench so think we need to be realistic about his ceiling - it is weird to bring in IQ guys and not tie them down though. What's the management of resources issue? Frisch is a good player but we have 4 properl...

I’ve no interest in the championship next week now. Even if we do win it, it’s tarnished by the fact we lost to England, who will take huge confidence from beating the supposedly “best team in the world”. Not a chance we are the best team in the world. Apart from the France match, we’ve looked aver...

VDF lucky there isn't a player who can slot in. Getting to safety blanket pick stage with him.
VDF was one of our better forwards

Don’t mind Floppy . I think he just picks a player randomly to have a go at without even watching the matches

Game going exactly how I thought it would . England playing well but they couldn’t win an argument at the moment . Sheehan for an early second half try and Ireland to win comfortably Do we get the trophy at the final whistle or wait till next week?

Conspicuous

The kick wasn’t a straightforward angle, we had been in the NZ 22 for a while, and just been held up over the line to get the penalty (think it was Whitelock for collapsing?) We had them on the ropes. The last thing they would have wanted is to face another maul. We’ll never know, and like I said, ...

Lower stakes now, since we’ve beaten them a couple times since, but I’ll always maintain that the right call for that Sexton kick in 2013 was to go for the corner. If it had been a Euro game v Toulouse in the same situation, the leaders in that team would’ve gone for the try every time. I was ragin...

Just to refresh our memories, here’s Radge’s contribution to that Scotland game. https://youtu.be/s6ytZ77KaFU?si=EkgEQh_fnyDE9H5c I mean, we could argue till the cows come home about what Sexton did or didn’t do against the ABs, particularly in the end-game, but none of his contributions actively g...

Had to revise my post. I originally said " Kicking the ball to them and hoping their line out falls apart damn sure will not work so I reckon running it at them is the better option".

Kendellan is a Cork Con anointed for greatness nodding dog dashboard ornament. I'd happily see him fcuk off elsewhere. The latest in the line started by Holland and continued by Archer. It annoys me as much as it concerns me at just how he does appear to be the annointed one. He is no leader of men...
