If ever there were proof of ROGs effectiveness all you have to do is look at this thread. He, like Gatland and Rassie, takes the pressure off his team and is willing to make himself a target.

CIrcle them wagons

He 100% will coach Ireland one day. Too divisive. :lol: Is it any wonder we’ve have never made it past a QF. I’m sure the two world cups enable the Saffers to put up with Rassie’s divisiveness. I see him more as a Roy Keane/George Hook/Franno media troll long term, and I think he does too. That's w...

Yes, here you are, clearly not caring. You're very cranky lately. If Sexton makes it a habit to wind up opposition fans then I'm sure he'll get what he deserves. It's not a difficult concept to understand. Not going to lie, I am - genocide in Gaza, drone attacks on Israel, shipping disrupted in the...

Dickson was fine. Great to see some English sides doing well again tbh. We got balance of decisions, no doubt about that. The advantage call after Lowe’s kick and the scrum pen against ker Barlow were both very harsh on LAR I thought. The adv call on Lowes kick is pretty standard. He was under pres...

He has too much cop on for that. If he wants the Ireland job, he’ll have to try a job in Ireland at some point. I don’t think floundering with Munster would do him any good. You don’t think he could get it without a stint coaching within the Irish system? Let’s say as he got the English or even Fre...

Boogate would be the perfect epilogue to this saga. The media and pundits, having blown so much smoke up ROG's arse will now have to objectively ask the question: "is he a dickhead?" I for one can’t wait for well known dickhead Johnny Sexton to be booed on the big screen if or when he goes into coa...

Not really a choke based on their form, but they've been shite all the same. Just don’t have the balls for the big occasion They've been shite all season for such a highly paid squad. Won 10/20 in the league and miles off the leaders. They only won last weekend because of a missed conversion. They’...

They don't give a fudge about the competition. Perhaps unsurprisingly. They have cheapened it massively and should be asked to fudge right off next year. Not ageing well this. Why? Saints throwing it away doesn't mean the Bulls haven't sent the dross. Saints were beating the clock at 28 mins. One t...

Until we meet them again, getting roundly and deservedly booed while his team gets their asses handed to them is a nice final Lansdowne Road memory for ROG. It'll probably be the emotional motivator for him to really push for the Irish gig. He's probably going to have a stand in the Aviva named aft...

It’s not hard. He’s prick and his antics after the final last year rubbed everyone the wrong way. He courted this with his media profile. Stop playing dumb

I don't understand the Bulls' decision. They are well placed in the URC for a home semi. But they have basically thrown the towel in for the Champions Cup, the same competition the $harks are fighting tooth and nail to get back into? They don't give a fudge about the competition.

Did I say it was? I merely pointed out that the values that were once meant to define the game are gone. RADGE is a panto villain. Get over it. The problem with that view is you think it's acceptable for fans to treat matches as though they were at a pantomime. Say you're up and down to the bar a l...

How do people feel about Baird calling the lineout? Such a key platform. Not sure I'd have gone with Jenkins, even though the lineout wasn't amazing last week. Hopefully he proves me wrong. Nervy but fudge it. Huge chance for him. We won't have a perfect lineout but we won't be scared to compete on...

Munster Rugby and the IRFU are pleased to confirm that Peter O'Mahony has signed a new one-year contract with the province. So is it a central contract or provincial one? The rumour was a Munster one with assistance from the IRFU. Not sure why it's not just a central one. Maybe it is. He had an off...

It's almost as if shoe-horning teams from 8,000 miles away into weekly sporting competitions was a dumb, knee-jerk reaction to declining TV revenues, rather than the best thing for the sport.

Pom is 35 this year. If he’s playing in Ireland then he will be in an international squad similar to Healy and sexton to the end. He’ll then return to Munster broken,need recuperation and frankly he’s always been very poor in pro14 games. He’ll eake out one mega performance in a euro game putting b...

Aren't we forgetting that Munster are in this situation because they were absolutely shite in this competition before O'Mahony came back from injury and guided them to a win away on Toulon (ok this may count as ST's one big performance). Before he guided Ireland to a Six Nations title. I think it's...

Munster need a big, physical 6 to add extra oomph. They should back Cian Hurley and bench POM if he stays on next season imo. I wonder would Temi Lasisi be an option at loosehead for Munster or Ulster. His conversion to tighthead hasn't really been a success, but he'd be a pretty big loosehead, and...

10 You reap what you sow. Munster were way too slow to get their underage system going even when the golden generation was clearly ageing back in the late 2000s. It was always a matter of painting over the cracks since then. I still think there's a lack of common sense within the IRFU. It's good to...

Murray goes deep on Munster: Still, any influx of cash would help if Frisch departs. It’s understood that Munster are not in a particularly strong financial position and that the IRFU has directed them to reduce their budget in terms of player salaries. Last season, the IRFU converted more than €4 ...

On Milne, the flipside to that is that Healy is probably retiring, Boyle/McCarthy are still academy players and between the South Africa and Lions tours Porter will need to be really carefully managed over the next 18 months. In those circumstances Milne shouldn't be pressured into leaving. If your...

Only reason that went to court was the high profile nature of the accused Jeffrey Donaldson is hardly a nobody?

He won’t have been charged unless there is basically 100% concrete evidence that he is guilty of the crimes charged.
