No time limit, and the current cabinet in situation until a new one is appointed.

Happened again today. Official apology from irfu. V poor

Be it Ringrose Henshaw or whoever's at 13 they could learn a lot from Earl's passing and handling skills yesterday.

Come out ye Black and Tans being sound at the RDS count.

The tone has been set.

I was wondering that myself, actually. Under Schmidt it would have been Stander, but he's out of the leadership group now.
Ryan or Hendo?

Hendon was off.

Who was Ireland's captain when Sexton and POM went off?

By 5pm saturday doris, Deegan and kelleher will be capped. Cooney will have the guts of an hour's play done. That's change. Not revolution but change. Revolution was never going to happen.

I’d prefer the AI’s.
Mark McCall will surely be available really soon.

Poor Andy Farrell. He wins and the knives are out. If he experiments and looses the bean counters who pay him will have the knives out. Who'd be a head coach.

Despot

A good team, lots of talent and skill. Might be a bit of dog missing though.

This notion that Munster are broke and the debt hangs over them is something which only exists in this forum. There is 34 of the 40 million paid off already, the same people bringing this crap up are on the NAMA thread calling for billions upon billions in capital investment in Dublin :roll: So you...

From a rugby point of view I don't really get why he wasn't there, you really can't claim he hasn't been in the top 35 players in Ireland this season. It just adds to the suspicion that a non Leinster player has to be twice as good to get a look in. He was never given a fair go. Wow lads, you’s hav...

Coaching Top Trumps. How could he fail? Not as if he wasn't aware of the salaries. Whether or not he was aware of the cheating doesn't impinge on his coaching abilities. Yep.A lot of big spending clubs in France bought in marquee signings but never really got a team dynamic. They cheated, but the m...

I would absolutely be all for this being the end of the road for Van Graan. This team has shown nothing under his leadership. An absolutely disgracefully performance tonight.

Backs look totally frustrated. There is just not enough collective power in munster front five to win go forward ball. That's slowing everything down. And they are playing shite.

And Daly will score a try!!!!!!!

JJ turn it down or captain's call?? Either way a mistake.

Dev dropped for a SH import. The outrage!

Extend Mathewson contract for the season. Let Murray and Scannell be back up 10.

Nice. Scannell, goggin, Farrell. Some good player is going to loose out.

fishooks15 wrote:Beirne was the big plus. First game of real quality at test level

Yep, but recognise the standard of the opposition.
Henderson has been disappointing, against what he is capable of. Unlikely, but could Beirne be in the 2nd row??

Is Chris Farrell the forgotten man?

All the talk seems to be the game against the boks. A bit more cautious respect is due to Japa. Remember the last worls cup? This time around they are the hosts, big home crowd, do or die attitude. I can see the strongest available team starting, and hopefully building a lead, and then maybe bringin...

Is Earl's confirmed out?

Joe confirms McGrath's kicking was the decider and that Toner's injury affected his chances. So if Toner was injured why was it such a hard conversation for Joe on Monday? Will be interesting to hear Toners take on it. We will have to wait for the book for that, or a Paul Kimmage exclusive in the i...

Last January a member of the Irish team told me that Dev was on the outside. I couldn’t believe it. When I asked why, I was answered with a shrug of the shoulders. “They want him out.” Where the hell did that come from? Irish Rugby is a very small community and there's never been a sniff of that. C...

I think Joe is clinically insane for preferring Kleyn over Toner. Absolute barmy call which will come back to haunt him. You need to go back to Kidinme refusing to pick Mike Ross or SOB to find such an absurd selection. Absurd? Toner has been shite. As usual your blue biase is shining through If it...
