Hey All, For those of you in Oz blazing a trail after the lions, any suggestions for pubs etc. in melbourne where you will be watching the second test? We missed out on tickets and would love to get into a good atmosphere for the game! If any tickets going also, 2 would be lovely!! (on the off chanc...

LEINSTER!!LEINSTER!!!LEINSTER!!!C'MON YOUOOOOO BOUYS IN BLUE! awful first half but I wouldn't have enjoyed the second so much ifyou hadn't been poor! THe old rope a dope!

Any suggestions forr a stream? I'm struggling!Ahhh

Everyone needs to calm down and call off the panic! 3 points is what we need and what we'll get hopefully!4 would be phenomenal. We're the european champions for a reason!!|Such doubt already just believe!!

Was never good enough and will never be good enough. We have too much talent breaking through and he couldn't do that when he was with us.Leave him be.

Hey guys, I'm in australia so I can't use my season tickets for this year. I have 2 gold category tickets beside each other in grandstand - Block F. At face value they cost 790 euro but I'd be willing to sell for 600 or potentially a negotiated price depending on my desperation status! PM me if you ...

I am pretty happy with roberts beings selected. The guy has had a massive year in terms of experience and his consistent excellence and ability to break the gain line warrants recognition. He was one of the few on the tour who's position was never in doubt and a huge contributor to the team.

Looks ridiculous....will stade fans actually by this and are they trying to coax the gay majority to support them?

I have a theory about how all Irish schools pick players positions the same way. Fat and short in first year - Prop Fat and short in first year with some hand eye coordination - Hooker Lanky - Second row Fast- Wing Some kicking skills - FB or OH Don't really know what to do with you but thanks for ...

I dont think I'd be able to stomach it if we went drastically backwards from last year. I'm not even basing that on success, I just hope the performances are there and consistent!

The only issue I'd have is with a ref who abuses the TMO system, like tries in rugby league, for minimal incidents. If it is a questionable yellow card, like the gouging, I'm all for it but the refs have to be responsible untimately and the use of the TMO would have to be governed well.

Why the hell would he do that!? The Super 14 franchises' budgets are laughable, he can't be getting much more than €100k a year. Michalak did it in order to relaunch his career and gain some experience of top-flight attacking rugby, but Hernandez really doesn't need that. He has been the recipient ...

Looks quality corci, well done mate. I definately dont think you'll regret it mate!! I cant wait to see it, although I may be waiting a long long time!!great work!

Today, I brought a guy with suspected swine flu to the doctor to be checked!So basically I now have swine flu. Great f*ck!n job!

I read this today and I would have to agree. Back to back world cups is proof enough!Get on it!

South africa by 25 points. Too good, too strong and a game under the belt. Couple that with the 1/3 change in the lions team and its overall flacid play!No hope.

I hope I'm wrong.

We can ill afford to lose top referees!!With these young lads coming up, who need to get a lot more experience before they get to the required standard. Get him a wheelchair!

does anyne really care as long as its green and we win in it?really.......... :roll: yes i do care and the IRFU/Puma should put the effort in to make something decent because it'd probably sell better if it looks like the samoa jersey, there was absolutely no thought put into the jersey.....wow the...

I think that too much has been expected of Paul O'Connell on this tour. That's a very bald statement, so I'll try and explain myself a little better. Like it or not, as a second row captain [and with especial reference to McGeechan's previously stated preference for "a big bloke to knock on th...
