Farrell was such an obviously wrong choice when it was made. I’d be disappointed if the consensus here wasn’t disgust at the time of announcement

He just isn’t very big for the level. Coombes will be the man shortly. Doris can play 6 and do his work from there.

Byrne shovelled shit ball on while standing on our dead ball line. Ireland and Leinster need to concentrate on his brother, much higher ceiling I’d much rather focus on players ceilings rather than floors. Ross has a low ceiling. Solid player, would play a million games in the premiership, but he i...

Good news. Bealham is coming on. Our saviour has arrived.

Keenan has been no better than Stockdale in fairness. At least you could believe Stockdale might make something happen. He's an empty shirt at this level. Ross Byrne though is worse. It's painful to watch him just shovel shit on. He’s a tidy player. I’d rather roll the dice with a guy who might be ...

I can understand how people might want to limit the qualifying standards to parents only, but there are so many families where grandparents form a core role in raising children that their national identity could easily be influenced by them. I've met lots and lots of "Irish" people born and raised i...

Just make all the forwards go stand on the touch line for 15 seconds and take a quick tap. Its only purpose is to tie up the forwards in a tight bit of space to allow attacking opportunity and a restart after an error, so stop the charade and make it that. No idea why sports administrators try to cr...

Be fair. Because of the internet you got to save an idiot backpacker from prison in Cork.

Thats one of my go-to stories at parties tbf

Yes, I am including what players get paid for playing for Ireland and also what the 6 Sarries players get for playing for England. If those 6 played every game they would get 1.8m (25k x 6 x 12) between them from the RFU, so I added that to the 8.5m Sarries can pay under the cap. The two squads wou...

SFBB

Are you including what players get paid for Ireland in your €11m-€13m figure, because I don't see how you can get to that without it? Even with a larger topline figure, I can't see Leinster's player budget approaching €10M. With regard to Leinster raising money separately, I was under the impressio...

SFBB

It's actually very poor tbh. You've settled a lot since the last time I was active here, but the potshots continue.

SFBB

You're absolutely right, but ultimately Leinster Rugby pays huge amounts of money to players considering the vast scale of squad required. Trying to fit that squad into a salary cap that Welsh/Scottish teams could reasonably afford to compete with would be impossible. It's very difficult to figure ...

No mention of Connor Murray.

He isn't really a "leadership" type.

POM is gonna start at 7. I can feel it.

For the record, as somebody who visited and doesn't know Dublin well on the same trip, we didn't rate the food in Dublin as particularly good either. Probably better than London for similar type establishments, but not great. Dublin is also my partners least favourite city in Europe, and the one sh...

That was a very handy weekend for Irish rugby, Connacht could have won with a bit more composure. Can't help but feel that the league is now on the verge of either radical change or collapse, I think it needs to go to a 2 division format with promotion and relegation included, especially if the Saf...

I've had rotten luck tracking down some of those wines recently Frankster. Couldn't find the Malbec from your Five Festive Flagons list in (an admittedlly small) Dunnes today. No sign of the Peter Lehman Shiraz in the local Molloys last week either. The staff member said he hadn't seen it in ages. ...

Took my Aussie missus to Ireland a few years ago to meet the family and have a holiday etc. Also spent 5 days visiting my brother in London.

It’s worth noting that this version of England don’t keep a lot of possession, so there might not be a lot of work for Connors to do, if he’s picked.

Hopefully England play Itoje at 6, because he was dreadful against Georgia. Billy was also poor. Genge was the one I'd be afraid of out of the pack they played on the weekend.

SFBB

Personally I'd go with
Henderson
Ryan
Stander
Connors
Doris

Put POM will be involved somewhere and he isn't going to give much impact off the bench.

Definitely a bit more of the "help us with this scaffold. Its amazing what people will leave on the side of the road" to his upbringing than his Mother buying him Lions tours, you'd suggest.

SFBB

Happy to go with the early shout of Healy being the answer at 10 in the medium term. I like him a lot.

SFBB

Ospreys are genuinely dreadful, but Munster are putting them away fairly handy. Coombes is an absolute handfull. They used him at 2 in the lineout for that maul try, too, which is interesting. He will be in green before too long.

The thing that’s happening here, MOG, is you think you guessing selections correctly is a credit to you on this forum, but in reality it discredits Rennie. Every time you and Rennie agree, Australian rugby fans confidence crumbles a little bit more. You strut around with your moronic chest puffed o...

POM will play like that for 10 more years. He stays in his lane and is highly committed, and you could not play him for 2 years and call him up and he’d do the same. Playing him this morning taught us nothing. Play Coombes or anybody else and we learn something. Good performance, and I’m literally h...

Look, it was a win. But does it help us? Are we more prepared and informed now than before? Really? Keenan, Doris, JGP, Lowe all putting in good performances at this level, another game for Kelleher (few squinty lineouts tbf), Roux showing up really well, what did you want? Doris and Keenan were th...
