Anyone else starting to think the EU could be doomed?

Marcelo Bielsa's press conference is the most extraordinary thing I've seen this week. :lol: :lol: :lol: This week?? Your life must be a rollercoaster. He just schooled Lampard to such an extent that his career may never recover. It was fantastic, they don't call him El Loco for nothing. The FA are...

Think we've got the beating of their pack there but the backs there could cause us some bother.

Hopefully they should lose interest and fade in the second half.

Hopefully Hendo is up to full speed, he's a huge difference maker in the pack.

Decent side for Tigers

More importantly:

HENDERSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

Ulster team to play Leicester Tigers, Heineken Champions Cup, Saturday 19th January, Welford Road (3.15pm): (15-9): L Ludik; R Baloucoune, W Addison, S McCloskey, J Stockdale ; B Burns, D Shanahan; (1-8): E O’Sullivan, R Best (captain) , M Moore, I Henderson , K Treadwell, S Reidy, J Murphy, M Coet...

John Ryan in as expected to deal with the Exeter scrum.

Not just the comments

Fairly sure they are from the old bored, I joined just before after the wipe but was lurking before and recall someone asking to fight Mullet.

12, according to Wiki.

Only 14 caps.

BODs record is 46 tries? What's Stockdale on so far?

I guessing they are saying Byrne refused to move.

One step closer.

Jumper:
Archer's set piece work has improved over the years
Cronin's set piece work has not improved over the years

Also Spurs are expected to be £600m in debt by the end of the season.

There is a rumour going round that Max Allegri will be available this summer and Zidane is taking his place at Juve.

Murphy has such a well rounded game he can play well with any backrow combination but having another top class player like Coetzee really helps him shine.

Is Vakh Abdaladze still rated? Is he pushing Bent for third choice TH?

I was impressed with Shanahans passing at the weekend.

Ryan couldn't do it last year when he came on and even Furlong couldn't manage it 3 years ago

Wasn't he Joe's back up TH for those first 2 6N wins?

Still a big unit.

Odd that Ulster didn't try to re-sign him if he was available.

It would seem the prevailing Irish sentiment is that the Zebo abuse was cool just not the racist bit Which is just ridiculous What the hell have you been reading? Irish rugby fans are split into their provincial ties, like most issues here. Leinster fans are loving being Leinster because they are L...

From the Irish Rugby Thread Re. Zebo, French rugby journo on Second Captains yesterday saying his understanding is one 'fan' started abusing Zebo and was shut down by the supporters around him pretty sharpish. Seems it was just one idiot. As we've said the problem with Zebo's post is it was so vague...

Look lads everyone know Coetzee is a quality player but he has just had a 2 year injury nightmare, lets just relax.

I almost spit out my tea when I read that.

What would you think if the FA (or a representative of the club) published this statement following a similar incident, and what do you think the general reaction to the statement would be ? "Racism has no place in sport and no place in any other area of life. But vague hints/suggestions something ...

Some of us rounder types knew.

It's very interesting seeing the improvements in Archer since Flannery took over the forwards. I think he is starting games because he brings slightly more mobility around the park than Ryan and so long as he can now lock out the scrum he should get picked. Ryan ia great tight forward, good in the m...

Sorry, awfultyper, clear something up for me, are you saying being hostile is racist or that fans shouldn't ever be hostile even if that hostility itself is not racist?

If there was an area in England that was called Leinster and all the players had a sense of identity with that area along with a similar school structure then what Leinster have done could be replicated. The problem is that you've concentration of clubs in some areas all fighting for the same talen...

From the Eggchasers podcast, if the Leinster squad went on the open market without the carrot of international rugby, would it get anywhere close to being under the English salary cap? Listened to that this morning, English teams can break the salary cap without any fear of consequence, that preced...

Those 3 were rejected and not appreciated in Munster. Beirne is the only similar situation.

They weren't whinging, they were just trying to figure out how much the squad is worth, they weren't making excuses for English teams failings and if anything were complimentary of what Leinster have done. Stats, one of them did make the point that Byrne would be on a fair packet if he was to go to ...

Unless Wolves pull off a huge performance tonight, the gap is next to nothing really.

“It’s the quality of the opposition,” said Dai Young, Wasps’ director of rugby. “Look at Leinster. They’re missing five Lions and they can still pick 15 internationals. I’ve coached [in the Pro14] and you have two teams, one for your big games and one for the others. It’s not my opinion, it’s factu...

Conan is actually Irish. So he should start ahead of Stander everytime for Ireland. I know this will cause deep upset to the cousin f uckers who all like to pretend that he is one of their own. If James Lowe becomes IQ, would you want him picked over Stockdale? You haven't being paying attention if...
