Ravens beat Connacht this evening 17-7. 4 Mckinney penalties and a try for Luke Marshall Marshalls try was excellent individual skill,took the ball on the halfway,drifted across the pitch and jinked his way to the line without a hand being put on him The no. 8 is a big lad and a good prospect and t...

Thornley predicting that Ryan and Reddan will be the only two changes. Expecting anything else? Well yes. Given the arguments over McCarthy and Tuohy being different locks you would think one of them was going to start. DOC/Ryan is a disastrous pairing and if it comes to pass will show yet again ju...

HEC is a different beast Willie,a very different approach,if you think the lat few results mean anything you're in for a big surprise.

You know that sick feeling you get in your stomach as a nightmare scenario slowly becomes more likely? Best injured, SOB has some kind of infection on his foot? DOC's ankle is a concern... Kidney slips even more conservatively into his shell and decides ROG is the answer. We win against Scotland an...

Speaking of Leinster, does anyone know of any websites where you can buy older Leinster jerseys? I'm talking about 90s/80s. I was doing some looking about on eBay, found a brand new one from 2001, this job, basically the holy grail of Leinster jerseys: http://www.inpho.ie/cache/inpho/e2/73/a5/d7d1b...

Not that i want this, but didn't DOC captain the lions for one match? Yeah, the midweek side. And don't forget Ronan John Ross O'Gara (born 7 March 1977 in San Diego, California) is an Irish rugby union player, In addition to his prolific point-scoring, he has captained Munster, Ireland and the Bri...

What about the other 2 lions captains in the squad?surely they should be next in line!

Swifty doesn't call them, he isn't used either, too heavy. Any Connacht player/fan will tell you the lineouts are Macca's baby, hence the nickname 'Lord of the lineout' Lord of the lineout? since when has been called that? pity I didn't know that yesterday I could have used it when I was slagging h...

Do we even think McCarthy will get the nod to start? He should as a lineout caller but will he. He doesn't call the lineouts for Connacht,when he does he isn't great. Tell him what to do,point him in the right direction and he's very good,off the cuff or leading,not so great. Yes he does call the l...

If only we had Fla and ROG from the start we'd have won in Paris. Or maybe we'd have been 20 down at half-time because the French made 15 yards every time they went down the ten channel. Or be down to 14 players the whole match after Fla sweet chin musics some French winger. I can't fathom why Touh...

We'll see how good the coaching team are, not that I'm holding my breath. Simple really, if Richie Gray is at 2, then throw it to 4 or 6. Jim Hamilton weighs a tonne and should not get up ahead of the Irish jumpers on our throw. How about when you're 5 yds out on an attacking lineout,we throw to 4,...

How's McCarthy at running a lineout? Not great,I'll leave it at that. He is a good lineout operator. He's also very useful around the park. 4.Ryan 5.McCarthy 18.Tuohy, if there's any justice The question was about running the lineout,and he's not very good at it,he also needs a rocket up his arse a...

Fock. Bad for Ireland..and Munster looking ahead. TOL call-up is a joke...he's been rubbish in the Pro12 and gets called into a 6N squad..ffs.

What's the bets on TOL starting to a) get him up to speed at home and b) because that's the type of SH we like playing from the start? I actually don't think he's been in too bad form and in the only head to head TOL looked superior to Boss against the Saxons. Like it or not TOL will be in or aroun...

I'm not sure which is worse for the team, POC out or TOL in . Kidney Out! Deccie he wasn't good enough for your RWC squad for a reason . should have called up Marshall.

I think Tuohy is ahead of McCarthy,McCarthy didn't travel to Paris and I don't know if Tuohy did,if not them I'd say it's about evens.
