Right, let's get into this, why are Munster the way they are?

Their best players on the weekend included POM and Zebo. What's going on with the young lads?

It’s one of Leo’s many objectively shit calls. Backing Ross Byrne instead of developing one of at keasf two FHs (not including Prendergast) that have a higher ceiling is another. As is picking Luke McGrath over JGP for three seasons. How many crucial HEC games have we lost with McGrath and/or Byrne...

Milei's ideas have hints of (brutal) logic but he's the last person you'd want to implement them.

Argentina is a tragedy tbh, beautiful country but this is the product of decades of bad governance.

Bit disappointed in Munster. Beirne and POM were superb in the forwards, thought Coombes did a great job as well. Ahern and Hodnett were good but probably outmuscled by their opposition. Thought hte backs were a disappointment. Zebo aside, where was the invention? Didn't think Nankivell or Frisch g...

The only individuals who should be judged for how Beirne's career panned out are Beirne and a little bit Pivac for taking a punt on him. That's nonsense. Fogarty wanted to keep him on the roster, Cullen decided he wasn't worth the punt. We all know why he made that decision but objectively it was a...

Anyone else experiencing issues with Bank of Ireland Mobile app log-in/functionality. Bollixed for me all morning.

It's also a claim that can't be disproved because in any group of 70 (?) or so players and staff there will always be some discontent. It could range from the coffee machine being broken to the coaches having different factions competing in Games of Thrones like intrigues etc. The journalist on the...

Jackman is saying the Munster camp is not a happy camp. Said it twice on the rte podcast today. He didn't go into any detail. I wonder if some senior players are unhappy about not being offered a contract. Was there any context to that? Unhappy can mean all manner of things. It's also a claim that ...

Most developed countries / cities have separate intercity and commuter lines. Given the flakiness of the coastal/ dart line we should be thinking about additional lines into dublin that are more inland. Anything in the pipeline on this? If we want it by 2090 it better start in planning now. Plans t...

He won’t have been charged unless there is basically 100% concrete evidence that he is guilty of the crimes charged. In an (assumed) historic case like this, the PPS would have all their ducks in a row. Just goes to show, you can trust nobody. Like the Jackson case? Only reason that went to court w...

Plenty of talented people in Ireland but who on earth would bother with being a politician?

They're desperately looking for people by all accounts. No logical reason to take the job.

Staying as a TD, not as a Minister. He probably feels like he might have another run in him but needs a break and wants to disassociate himself if the election goes badly. Tbh, he has been a poor deputy leader. Running at the next election? Apparently very vague when asked. Ivan Yates/Matt Cooper s...

People like that just exist to drive engagement by annoying you.

Parochialism.
Is it that simple? If Crusaders continue to be shít Ruddock will have no choice but to pick him presumably.

I take it you’re a boxing fan

I reckon Neil Ruddock would be a much better coach than Scott Robertson and think the ABs have missed a trick.

Went to watch an "A" international between Ireland and NZ mostly to see McKenzie. He's obscenely talented, I don't understand how he doesn't start ahead of everybody else for the ABs. Ms MungoSpouse and I flew to Townsville a few years back for Reds-Chiefs game, and seeing McKenzie play in a smalli...

People have been charged in Ireland for online comments. That awful murder of that child Kriegel was an example.

Distraction. It's what the DUP and/or the Shinners always do when they're caught being naughty. Remember cash for ash?

Do you think Russell's move to Bath happened at a similar time in his career as Carbery's move to Munster? Ah you know well what I mean. That you're talking through your arse? You've gotten very angry lately, Statto. No, Russell is a classic maverick 10 and the best one going currently. Certainly t...

Injury wise, you've covered that as it's not for us to say. The other Irish players from Munster don't look poorly conditioned in comparison to the rest if that's anything to go on. Playing wise, JVG wasn't the right coach for him. If Rowntree had gotten his hands on him earlier, you never know, bu...

completely fair, I will maintain my position that the move to Munster improved Carbery's career in every way outside of him hitting his potential as a player.

Its a different perspective, Carberry has had a brilliant career in terms of earnings, accomplishments (5 wins over NZ) and exposure. I do not think he became a better player at Munster with the opportunity to become a starting 10. He certainly has not lived up to the early promise he showed, and c...
