Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle
Nobody from Leinster should moan about Dickson, he's useless but favoured Leinster massively. Penalty count was 15-12 in favour of La Rochelle. Not bemoaning the ref but he didn't massively favour Leinster, that's nonsense. I am not going to go and check but I feel Leinster gave away 4 or 5 penalti...

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle
ROG makes good career moves. Munster is not a good career move. They don't have the players with which he can do anything. Yeah, I can see any coach with ambitions of going higher avoiding them like crazy right now. That’s why I said I could see him taking an assistant job with Ireland (under Faz, ...

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle
I didn’t think Byrne’s pass to Lowe was as forward as Lowe’s passes to Sheehan and Baird. And none of them were what qualifies for a forward pass in today’s game.

Re: How did cyclists suddenly get so good?
I think there was a tailwind at Roubaix, and also vdP’s team just pinned it on the front once they hit the cobbles. It has to be said, there’s a lot more depth in quality in the modern peloton; back in the 80s, even 90s, the field in the classics would be 90+% from countries bordering France, with a...

Re: LRZ
As far as I've understood, it's a play with too low a risk/reward value, in a game where tunovers are considered "killers" because of the importance of posession and game clock management. The players don't train their lateral passing technique, and the risk of a dropped ball is very high, so it's ...

It's a fairly straightforward thing to fix. Just mandate that a bench must consist of 5 forwards and 3 backs. Reduce to 6 subs, and require at least 2 (or 3) players who, between them and the starters, can cover all 3 front row positions. Being able to replace more than half the team is too many su...
