The idea that anyone would rather face NZ than England in this world cup is laughable. England will need to progress from a group where they will be at war with 3 other teams in the top 10 of world rugby. They'll probably do that but it's going to take a hell of a lot out of them. I honestly can't s...

I always thought it was a great shame that injury robbed us of the chance to see Ferris, Wallace and O'Brien line out together. Don't think I can imagine a better ball carrying back row.

Lonely planet thinks different: Pembrokeshire’s Skomer Island and Marloes Sands have been voted by the Lonely Planet Guide 2015 as 2 of the top 10 best places for a family holiday in Europe. Coastal Wales has been named the "best region on Earth" to visit next year by a travel guide. The nation's c...

Eoin Reddan has 36 appearances from bench in his 60 tests.
Including around 4 1/2 seconds against the Scots last week.

Can't argue with the top 2 I don't think.

After that, I thought Ben Youngs was Englands best player across the tournament with Joseph a close second.
I'd have those 2 in 3rd and 4th with Biggar in 5th and Ford, Hogg, Henshaw and Murray bringing up the rear.

With what we've heard so far, I'm not sure could you convict him? Obviously the guy is fecked up beyond all reason but can you say 100% confidently that he did it.

It's Joe Schmidt so he will select the entire Leinster Squad along with Best, O'Connell, O'Mahony and Murray. Everyone will go mental, there will be outrage. Then they will win the tour 2-1 in New Zealand. Everyone will get behind them for the tests and pretend they're delighted. Secretly, everyone ...

No one is telling fans how to behave, you moron. Now you call me a moron, a term that offends me and the minority groups I belong to. Ah... that strange funny moment when a moron takes umbrage at being called a moron whilst at the same time, verbally confirming that he belongs to a group of morons....

England were top of the table going into today.
Made total sense for the trophy to be in London.

Would have been very odd had they sent the trophy to the second placed team playing away from home before the games.

Anyone seen the new MacBook 12 inch model? Paper thin. One port (and you need to charge via that as well...through an $80 adaptor of course). Runs some fanless CPU which will therefore lack any power. Seriously, can't they just make the damn things a bit thicker and actually make it useful. Add in ...

Obviously he's a gobshite for comparing it to terrorism but otherwise, is Lam so wrong to come out publicly with his concerns?

The choke tackle is ridiculous. You can pull it to ground and then prevent release and win the put-in. Either make the choke tackle a ruck when it hits the floor or penalise the defending side for dragging it down. At the moment, simply locking in the choke tackle is essentially enough to effect a ...

Interesting thread. I must say that I have suspected that we (Ireland) have been more interested in winning penalties than actual turnovers in these situations for some time. It's a clever tactic.

Hmmmm. While I agree with Hansens view that something needs to be done about offside lines and more still to reintroduce more space and running to the game. His argument that the lack of space and tries is keeping fans away is pish. Australia and New Zealand have more space and tries than anywhere. ...

Our kick/chase game is good. I'd much prefer see us pin opposition back at their own 22 or deeper and try and keep them there than mess about with slow rucks in centre-field .

There was a whole series of posts between pages 2 and 4 of this thread, arguing back and forth about percentages of ball kicked. We clearly kick more ball than most teams.

Good read this thread. Some great insight along with a fair amount of nonsense. Why are people being precious about the kicking? We do kick a hell of a lot of ball. But we're bloody good at it. Murray and Sexton are possibly the two best in the world at it. Not only that, but we are turning the chas...
