Division 2A champions. :smug: The lads beat CLonakilty 71-14 down in Cork to win the league. The forwards were giving out about the match; the bonus point and league were sown up after about 20 minutes and they just spent the rest of the match walking to set plays and then chasing the wingers up as ...

I think that Kidney just doesn't like Paddy for some reason.

Jesus Cammy you've really gone even further off the deep end. Grim said nothing about Kidney in that post. :? Grim is always talking about Kidney, you just aren't reading his posts correctly. I think that was one of the few genuine cases where Grim had a decent point which wasn't undermined by Kidn...

I can see both sides with Fitzgerald. He has a history of injury and loss of form over the past couple of seasons, but he has also been outstanding at times. I personally think he is far too talented to be let go. If we had a national coach with any kind of vague plan for the backline it would cert...

Lilyw, Fitz was in the squad untill his neck injury ruled him out, so that point is bollocks. Whether he is worthy or nor of a central contract is a moot point, he is being offered one, he is in the national coaches plans. Is he woth 280k? Whos to know, without knowing how much others are on its im...

Shit one EF. Will this affect your reffing much for the season, will you miss many opportunities?

Which side were you playing in the scrum? TH went well apart from when the flanker got sent off Not sure who would have been at lh for us. Would have enjoyed playing that match.

Yep. For some bizarre reason they think cross-dressing gives them mystical powers. No kidding.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Seriously f**ked up though.

While that is clearly a terrible article from Matt Williams I think somewhere in there is a decent point. The national team needs to take further precedence over the provinces. We are well set up to do it now, the provinces are now in a fantastic position after over 15 years of professionalism. The...

Cullen's not anywhere near up to International rugby. There are at least 6 or 7 locks who should go ahead of him. Fully agree. He's a fairly shrewd operator (although he's been getting caught a bit this year), but even some pro12 games show that lacks a little something in power. He definitely shou...

Compression. Follow rice for the first couple of days. Afterwards get your upper leg bound up tightly with tape and it'll help you throughout the day.

You're right. He shouldn't try to address his issues at one of the best teams in europe with an excellent scrum coach.

You're f**king delusional.

Fair enough Gobbler. It's just when a page of the thread become exclusively NSFW pics that it becomes a pain. If there's the odd pic thrown in people can skip past that.

You're new hear so I'll explain it. The threads were started well over a year ago for funny shit and other quirky images etc. There was a NSFW warning in the thread title as the occasional image, which was still funny or entertaining or whatever, was NSFW. That doesn't mean the thread is exclusively...

Nolanator

I also agree with the not just posting NSFW stuff for the sake of this. I skim through this thread in work and have to stop quite frequently for fear of seeing arseholes and tits across my screen. This is funny, entertaining or thought-provoking stuff. I find pictures of naked extremely entertaining...

Pretty sure all vehicle laws apply to bikes with regards lighting, driving pissed etc. Had a look there on the Irish government site and the max fine for a first offence for failing to adhere to the vehicle lighting regulations is €1000. I presume that's for driving an articulated lorry without any ...

Sort the diet. No/very limited carbs. Eat often and eat lots of protein and moderate amounts of unsaturated fats. Eat fresh food, no pre-packaged meals or heavily processed stuff. Keep up the gym work. Strength training with a proper diet should see you at least maintain your strength and lean mass....

Appo, I know. The guy's very quiet and introverted so wouldn't say boo to a Gard, particularly when the Gard had every right to pull him over in the first place.

Any ideas on how much a typical fine would be? I'm guessing in the 50-100 quid range.

Nolanator

I don't think you'd be arrested but it's an offence and you can be fined. Gardaí will typically just stop and tell you to cop on and walk the bike on the footpath. Obviously not if you look different to this particularly wit kant of a Gard. Apparently as he took the guy's details he made some quip ...

If you're Iranian and don't look Caucasian apparently you can. Where's that racism thread that Toga started?

Nolanator

Just started a thread asking this but then saw this thread so I'll re-post.

A friend was stopped for not having lights on his bike a few months ago and got a summons this morning (we're in Ireland).
What's a typical penalty for that? I presume it's just a fine and a "don't do it again" jobbie?

This morning's effort. Took a fair while to get through, was a bit tired starting out.

Ross was a tub or lard when he got here and not remotely up to standard for HEC champions. It took us a year to get him up to Leinster's standard from where Quins got him to. Once that was done he came into the Irish team. Quins did plenty of work obviously, but Leinster had a huge part to play in g...

They will get gametime to develop. What's the issue? Gametime doesn't mean throw them in from the start. Ease them in and pick and choose which games they play a part in. As the season goes on they get more coaching and experience and then next season they're in a position to contribute more to the ...

The fact that we've provided the two starting props to Ireland over the last 7 weeks and have played test rugby the last four weekends in a row clearly doesn't come into consideration. The lads are utterly shattered. I've no problem having the likes of VDM and White on the books for exactly these so...

Ireland's Call wrote:Warburton is definitely out of this QF. Bradley Davies will be back.

They'll have Rush (creaking), though Nugget can still play to a high standard.

Their backline is pants. Parks at OH, and they only really have 1/2 p and North.

North is from LLanelli. They've got Tom James and Chekov.

Oh please, we'll have more than enough for Cardiff. Our season revolves around the SF for me. Will be very disappointing if we don't win the CL as well as this stage - losing it at home again would be a huge shock. We've no real excuses to be losing to Cardiff should we play to our best, but I'm ta...

I'm sure you've already heard it but I'll say it anyway. You'll lose more fat if your doing strength training of some farm as well as cardio/aerobic stuff. You mightn't lose as much actual weight as you'll likely gain a bit of lean mass. The thing to watch is your body fat percentage or if you can't...

Holy shit I like that team! And to think that the only player heavily involved with Ireland from the starting team is McFadden. Some depth these days.

Can't wait!

Nolanator

You'd need at least a couple of days after DLs before going for any other exercises in that area of your body. They really do take a lot out of you in terms of energy while you're doing them and recovery time. If you've only just started them then the recovery will be rough for a few weeks. Any time...
