Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

The only time Munster got a shove on we were down to 7 in the pack, the rest of the scrums were fairly even with a lot of wheeling being allowed by Poite on both sides, it led to scrappy ball at the back for both scrumhalves and number 8s I will respectfully disagree, Munster definitely had 4/5 ver...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Court handling Botha whilst making 16 tackles yesterday obviously hasn't improved his reputation much. McAllister has a lot of potential, even if he is in a position where we already have a little it of depth. Healy is the incumbent and should be for a while, Court is backup lossehead, McAllister m...

I'd hate to see Fitz leave Leinster, but it's good to see the IRFU play hardball with his contract. I just hope that all the negotiations that are going on at the moment are being treated similarly; he's dead right to hold out if he knows that Earls or Trimble are on 25% more than him.
