That simpsons memes page has turned to shit the past few weeks. Some people on the ireland subreddit were saying the mods of it (the simpsons meme page) removed their posts and blocked them because they were anti-SF too. I doubt half the people on it will actually vote though. The Simpsons meme pag...

Dont know much but seems to be rated in Munster anyway.. Looks big enough for sure.

Weird backrow sub on 20s bench.. Doesn't cover anywhere but 6 really. Interested to see who'd move to 8 if McCann had to go off..

A continuity appointment seemed like a great idea in late 2018 when we'd just had a ridiculous year. It seems like a less attractive idea after 2019. Yeah, think it's just a cost of how the IRFU do business- they value stability over reactivity which has served us very well in relation to the way i...

2001- Ireland All Blacks in Lansdowne Road and Richie McCaw's debut. Cracking match and got to see a cracking player make his debut, he also got MoM that day and the rest was history......

What an uninspiring team. :thumbdown: I'm disappointed with the way things are going. Has a feeling of Kidney's team after the NZ RWC.

Does anybody else feel that we're overly focused on our problems in the pack when the real problem is in the backs? I know it's heretical to say that backs actually have any influence on the game, but bear with me. One of the major issues under Schmidt was that he has never trusted width and wide p...

Murray and Cooney were up together for media duty today. /facepalm Good trolling tbf Maybe we'll see Cooney at 10.... Having been at the game, that was a fairly worrying performance.

Haven't seen it mentioned here. Saw something on Twitter (taken from Red C polls, I believe) showing voting intentions broken down by various categories; age urban/rural, etc. The youngest age bracket was overwhelmingly in favour of SF.

Which of the contentious selections, 2, 4, 6, 9 are you most concerned with? For me it's 6.

Of course you are, but you need two eyes to properly judge depth perception so that's you ruled out.

He should have been in the original squad. I'd have him very close to starting on current form.

Hope Casey, Daly get plenty more game time and hope Hodnett is given a start at some stage. I'd gladly see our backrow shift to JOD at 6 and let POM ride pine for a while.
