Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
How we will all laugh when the game is dead as a spectacle on the island Munster filled a 40k stadium for a jumped up friendly 2 months ago. 6 of the top ten programs viewed on Irish TV last year were the international matches including the RWC. It’s not dying. Ulster are just shit at the moment. G...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
IRFU are fukking up Irish Rugby medium to long term. Good for Leinster short term, but fukking everyone else. Hopefully Humph can sort it, but not holding my breath. There's definitely scope for Leinster rugby to do to Irish rugby what Dublin football has done to the Leinster championship. It's fin...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
A season long loan is pointless for the other provinces, utterly pointless. If the IRFU will sanction signings like Barrett for Leinster then they simply have to provide funding for the other provinces to improve, otherwise we become even more dependent on one province. How do they think attendance...

Obviously great news if you're a Leinster fan as he's a fantastic player.

Dickson was fine. Great to see some English sides doing well again tbh. We got balance of decisions, no doubt about that.

He has too much cop on for that. If he wants the Ireland job, he’ll have to try a job in Ireland at some point. I don’t think floundering with Munster would do him any good.
