Someone should give him a ring

Nice

Murphy has the exact same tackling technique as Ronan O'Gara.

diarm

20 minutes to get that extra point. You'd have to think all the fine tackling Scotland have done will have tired them a bit.

Fwiw I don't rate Quinny much as a commentator either...

On that I am with you entirely!

His is also the only Irish sporting autobiography I was unable to read til the end.

Might be no harm if Murphy moves on to coach a different team after this campaign - time to freshen things up. Just the 24 wins and a draw from his last 27 u20 6N games and a world cup final. The stale spoofer. Do you think they are playing well? I don't think this is as good a crop as in other yea...

To be fair, with their absolute tits for hands it's probably their best chance of 7 points.

Munster schools senior cup final was fantastic. 33-31 to Pres, and Christians had a difficult last second conversion to draw it. Foy the #4 and the tighthead for Christians were massive and good. Not sure what height Foy is but looks promising. Pres backline was sensational with their pack well bea...

For as shite as Ulster have been this season, we’ve still beaten Leinster, Connacht and Munster. I find that funny, considering all these better players they apparently have. What trophy does that get you? Do you even remember what a trophy looks like? Ulster have won significantly more silverware ...

Here's your second paragraph Hmmmmm. You're saying you're not being precious and knee jerky? You can’t be this thick? Surely? Read the context. Read the rest of my post. I have. It's an unfounded rant based on thinking you know the motivations of those commenting on Crowley. The reality is, his per...

Yes. More of the same. You went on an unnecessary rant because you got the wrong end of the stick because you're at Defcon 1. What are you talking about?

Some of the Munster lads are at Defcon 1 regarding Crowley. Any criticism at all is seen as writing off, biased tripe. It's bizarre. And hypocritical. Where have I discussed criticism?

Jesus there is some absolute bollocks trotted out in here on a regular basis. Crowley looks better for Ireland than he does for Munster? Only if you’ve ever watched him play once before the 6N and decided he was shite because you wanted someone else to start for Ireland. He’s been superb for Munster...

Is Ringrose back for Wales?

Not that the three lads haven’t played well - they’ve all been excellent, but he always plays well against the Welsh.

Great finish!

Why was Doris the only player supporting Conan there?

To many lads looking for headlines at the moment.

diarm

Bealham has deserved to be in charge of the shirt for close to a year if we’re honest. I’m a massive Furlong fan but Finlay is the form man.

diarm

The guy in charge of the tannoy in the Aviva is my least favourite person in Ireland. He’s worse than even Joe Molloy or that Gemma O’Doherty.

What's incorrect about it? Don't say the flag, because that's the flag of 26 counties, its missing a flag to represent the other 6 counties but its not incorrect. The flag does not represent the team and has no place in rugby :thumbup: Normally I would consider myself democratic in the sense that I...

Yeah there were two of their lads that just wrapped onto the side of that ruck, long before Hopes ever got there.

diarm

As good as Gavin was last week, I thought he was poor tonight. He got hands on a lot of fellas only to fall off the tackles.

I’d say their fullback will be waking up in cold sweats thinking about Edogbos left shoulder for a while.

diarm

Scandalous from Quinlan not to give MotM to their 14. He scored 2, made 1 and saved 1. The easiest MotM decision in the history of rugby and he fecked it.

diarm

That Italian 14 looks a hell of a prospect. Granted we’re making him look like Lomu tonight.

We need to have a look at options in case something ever happens Keenan. Even if it was just 20/30 minutes at the end of a few games.

I'd have Frawley starting at 15 this week.

Not a bad shout.

The other thing I'd say for Stockdale is that loads of wingers seem to have a mid-career slump. For example, Earls and Trimble both started well, had a slump in form/confidence before returning better than ever. Stockdale was in a similar form/confidence slump and serious injuries have elongated it...

The first one has around 8 Ulster players there to prevent the quick lineout and the break is made down his wing. For the second one, the ball only bounces that last time because he lets it. If he wants to he can take that ball before the final bounce. Rugby balls bounce weird - it’s the first thin...
