Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I hope the all french final isn't a dour 6-9 game or something at least. Going for Toulouse as they have more French players. Leinster just had a lot of average performances out there. Half backs were distinctly average. McGrath can do better with a better 10 but this is a level too high for Ross. ...

I still thought Conan had a very good game but he was probably the only one or close to it that kept levels up. Keenan as usual seemed to do most things right and Healy actually looked abrasive enough in the loose. I was shocked to see toner get 70 mins and in fairness its Bairds first full season. ...
