Next years HEC sounds just as bad aids as the current one. 4 pools of 6, but you don't play anyone in your pool and you only play 4 games x( Also talk of dropping to 18 teams the following season. What was wrong with 6 groups of 4 (or even 5 groups of 4), home and away fixtures against teams kn you...

Cahills the f**king commentator and he is by far and away the most biased twat involved in rugby media in this country. The whingeing tone in his voice when something isn't going Munster's way, married to the all-out gusto when it is just really grinds my gears. May as well get Druggie Sheehan back...

Posted this before, but it's a proper brain melter - If you were to line up every virus (phage) on earth so that they formed one very very thin but very long line, that line would be 120 million light years long. The Milky Way Galaxy is 'only' about 100,000 light years across. In a similar vein, if ...

Not really relevant as it was an interpro. Doesn't really bother me. I don't expect anyone to be neutral when it comes to Munster/Leinster even if it's their job to do so. Now there I disagree with you. All of the former player pundits do a decent job of not being out and out cheerleaders for their...

Not penalising McGrath for the deliberate KO? Not penalising same player for tackling when on the ground and out of play? Wasn't McGrath penalised for both of those things?? Or am I misremembering? Lazy posting on my part - meant carding. I mean it's always a possibility, you play with fire and all...

Jesus! I mean it's true and everything, but the fact that that is coming from an Aussie really rams home the point!

I've shouted for every Irish province in Europe since its inception. Have immensely enjoyed 7 HEC wins as a result and many excellent runs and games by all in the comp. And quite right too. While I'm disappointed with yesterday's result, I'm delighted for Munster. It's also great for Irish rugby. H...

Just saw the Connors incident and that has to be a concern. Barely any contact, little force, and yet out like a light. Thought that at the time. If that level of contact/whiplash is having that level of outcome, you'd feel for the guy. Unless there's another angle, unshown, which shows something m...

Yeah definitely forgot Stander :thumbup: Halstead was only there for one season, and while he was good, he wasn't Rocky Elsom good for that one season (though they did win the Cup all right). Definitely ahead of de Villiers for his one season though. Payne Definitely had a bigger impact than Halstea...

Outside of Ulster, if you were to do up a short list of the best overseas signings there probably wouldn't be a South African featuring. There'd be none for Leinster (Heinke or Straus maybe but nowhere near the impact of so many Aussies and Kiwis), maybe Shaun Payne for Munster, but it would want to...

Congratulations Munster. You rode your luck (or rather Frank Murphy rode Leinster for you). Now go and finish the job in SA. What was that penalty count again ? Oh yes 12 - 5. Not even subtle. Yeah, hopefully you get your discipline sorted for next week, Murphy was bad for both sides, other than th...

Healy is gone because the SRU drove a truck full of money up to his house, anything else is a side issue, imo. And tbf to the IRFU, if you have Crowley, Carbery, the Byrnes, Frawley, Tector, Frawley, Prendergast, Burns and Carty on contract you probably can't match what's reputedly a massive amount...

Fair play Munster. Can't argue too much with that result. Poor performance from Leinster overall, and more front-line players should have been involved. Disgraceful performnce from Murphy, especially in those last few minutes. You can argue plenty. Murphy won them the game. Even the final scrum get...

Sexton reportedly earns around €650,000 per season (£564k), just outside #10 That's was reportedly his pay when he first moved back from Paris.

Rule Nugent - f**king hopeless. Thought Cartys shitty drop goal attempt was a shitty crossfield kick and just now called the knock on as a pre-latch penalty.

Every team is doing it, nd getting away with it. The ruck is by far the biggest shambles in the game nowadays.

Just reading this thread, haven’t seen the game yet but it seems like the usual stuff. All anyone can talk about is ref decisions/non decisions. Rugby :thumbup: Game was a bit of an anti climax, Toulouse didn’t show up, DuPont is impossible to tackle, Barnes missed a clear yellow, VDF pulled a sext...

If true that would greatly increase my concerns over Nienaber.

What’s the point of this bid? England could host this all by itself. Even Scotland if they take over northern England like the good old days. We'll they have 5 votes sown up, they have 5 associations lobbying, and they have 5 votes to barter for future events. Pretty smart little bit of bribery by ...

I don't think he is regularly starting - not that I pay that close attention, but the commentators before the Stormers game said it was a rare start for him.

I think it's the association with JVG (just being a Saffer) and Rassie (same coaching ticket) and the puke rugby that seems to come with both at the moment that's the issue. If he's primarily defense and buys into Leinster's approach (which I can't see being an issue with the rest of the coaches st...

Bit much to say Snyman and Beirne are the best second row in club rugby when Snyman is only just back fit and Beirne is out injured. The secret ingredient was probably to recruit Lancaster as head coach when we went (inexplicably in retrospect) with van Grann. The van Grann era was poor business fr...

Doesn't stop it being galling watching lads like John Ryan and James Cronin plying their trade overseas as opposed to in a red shirt.
