Not sure about that.

Edit, I'll correct that to probable rather than definite! Thought I saw contact with one of his feet but less sure now!

CM11

Bizarre passage of play!

CM11

Munster well worth their lead but a couple of bounces have gone their way to help out.

CM11

Was everyone not put onside there before they even got up off the ground?

They only have the one game left against Zebre after today

It is bizarre that you have the gall to accuse me of reading into your posts after your carry on. I posted in good faith that I didn't understand your point. If that's on me, fair enough, but for some reason you took an affront to it as opposed to taking it at face value. I then thought, but asked f...

Carrots, I only got as far as the personal jibe sorry. To respond in kind, you always play the man. I wasn't sure what your point was as it was a bit confusing, that's all. Try reading posts in future. I did. I was confused. I said as much. You assumed a tone to my confusion as opposed to just taki...

Actually, it's including WC not at WC.

Although that's just WC for Dupont if you're only counting internationals.

CM11

Carrots, I don't get your point if I'm being honest (other than your valid argument that the person you knew should have been kept on). I had a relation in and out of different hospitals recently. Their blood tests and treatment plans (what worked, what didn't etc) was not available in the second ho...

CM11

Dupont can be neutered if you cut off his options. He's not superman. Give him an inch though and he'll exploit it.

Plenty of NZ players considered excellent haven't shined in every game they've played, bizarre that Dupont is being held to a higher standard.

CM11

I'll let the bored deduce why Willie is being overly critical........

CM11

It beggars belief. Hospitals not talking to each other, records having to be requested, printed and hand delivered if you end up in a different hospital. And even something as simple as a healthcheck, some providers won't look at your results from a different provider to form a full picture. It shou...

Apparently a comprehensive integrated digital record management system would cost like 1billion. World any government front that cash with any confidence that it would be well spent? It's hardly 1bn up front? Money well spent over the years it'll take to set it up and get it right, IMO. And probabl...

Just watched second half. That try at the end was a bit ridiculous alright. Hopefully won't come back to bite you.

CM11

Some lovely rugby by both sides.

CM11

Yes, good spot, one of Larmour/JOB shouldn't be there and yes, TOB or maybe Russell instead.

CM11

The IT and joined up thinking is really lacking in Ireland. We are at a disadvantage in some areas due to low population but it's a huge advantage having a small population and landmass in terms of efficiencies and we're screwing up royally there. Basic example is patient records. Now, I know there'...

CM11

Batshit thread.

Anyway, I'd happily pick Dupont in most backline positions. He'd make a good go at 7 and with a bit of training 2. Granted a tad small for the position these days!

CM11

Well it's true :) Connors is quite clearly second choice to the extent that he even starts some Champions Cup games ahead of Josh. Russell is possibly even more clear cut, he's only played so much because of the unavailability of others. Particularly JOB & TOB but also Lowe and Larmour have missed ...

hermie

If you were picking a second XV it'd probably be:

Healy, Kelleher, Ala'alatoa, Jenkins, Molony, Deegan, Connors, Conan, McGrath, Byrne, JOB, Ngatai, Osbourne, Larmour, Frawley

So 4 second choice.

More if you look at second choice 23

CM11

One to be recorded and watched on fast forward to see the score rake up. Can't see Leinster getting within 20pts, we might score 20pts, but we'll ship a lot. Stormers on the back foot after 2 consecutive losses at home. I'm not sure if Dobson is going to crack the whip so that the boys get back to ...

CM11

We don't absolutely need anything from this game but a bonus point (try obviously more achievable than bonus but still a stretch) would help. The Ulster and Connacht games will decide where we play the knockouts.

Leinster Rugby (caps in brackets): 15. Henry McErlean (2) 14. Liam Turner (28) 13. Ben Brownlee (7) 12. Charlie Ngatai (23) 11. Rob Russell (29) 10. Sam Prendergast (14) 9. Cormac Foley (17) 1.

Someone injured?

CM11

Given how well they (IRFU) seem to run budgets, common sense suggests NIQs are only likely to move province after the player rejects the top offer or the province doesn't want/can't have the player. I don't see any scenario where Synman could have moved just because Leinster offered more.

Interesting move from Donnelly. As the article says, it'll be interesting to see if he avoids blinking.

CM11

As always a mixed bag from Radge but ever interesting. There's definitely an attempt to sew a bit of division in Irish rugby. If Leinster get taken down a peg or two because of the noise from the other three provinces that's a dream for him. He knows well Munster couldn't hold onto Snyman (or chose...

Duff, I guess you need to define wealth. By most metrics, we're a wealthy country (2nd in the world using distorted gdp/capita, 6th using GNI), we're running budget surpluses despite covid and other factors and we're sadly seeing the effects of our success in housing and creaking services. But I tak...

CM11

Malaysians have been coming here to study for as long as I can remember.

CM11

Basically, Duff, it's comparing new money to old. Someone coming from the latter might have inherited a house, been given a car and will have accumulated possessions over their childhood and early adult life. The former won't have much. Both win the lottery and they have similar cash but the latter ...

Most of the 'rich' countries built the core of their infrastructure with cheaper labour (and some infra with expendable labour).

CM11

They’re the only ones paying the true cost of healthcare and pharmaceuticals - and their population is subsidising us in some cases Yeah, I don't think so. How do you think they can sell pharmaceuticals at different prices in different countries The pharma companies aren't exactly paupers. American...

Look at our state infrastructure and our national debt and get a grip kid Look at our infrastructure 20+ years ago, 'kid'. So we’ve bought our first car and a decent hifi system we are still far from wealthy I think we're wealthier than you're giving us credit for but that wasn't what I responded t...

We are nowhere near one of the world’s wealthiest countries. We are a stupid prick in our early 20’s with a high paying job straight out college. Not sure about that. That was the 00s. Hitting our early 30s now and trying to be more responsible and stable with our finances. Look at our state infras...

The actual reason is that teaching medicine is really expensive and really difficult. Foreign students subsidise Irish students. I agree with Miguel. However, even if he is wrong and yours is the "actual reason", isn't that shameful for one of the world's wealthiest countries? We are nowhere near o...
