We all know that all those top players are here for good vibes vouchers and a basket of chicken and chips I don't know why some people have their head in the sand over this. The alternative is we aren't looking after the players and underpaying, that's worse in my view. We have an odd attitude to m...

Big Spenders???[emoji2955] I really like Jim Hamilton, but he’s infected with this virus that need us as being super-resourced vis-a-vis their bloody Premiership! We are big spenders - there's no need to be embarrassed about it. Irish provinces have large budgets - in comparison to the Premiership ...

With Snyman, Jordie, and TB over the line, now all we need is nail down Taniela Tupou and that would be some unbelievable set of signings.

Excellent - Leinster have made great signings either side of the white line

I'm not sure where this idea that Ulster aren't producing players is from, they have a lot of top quality young and youngish players in their squad. Are they well coached - no they haven't been, but the problem isn't the production line, its in packing.

Molony isn't going play for Ireland so he's dead right to get experiences in other ways, he owes us nothing and with the guys coming up behind him and the ones already ahead of him, then he's caught in a squeeze. Good for him getting a contract with a fine club where he will quickly become a fan-fav...

Short term until Dec? So is he available for urc run in and champions cup semi? From December 24 till June 25 OneF reckons he's being signed as Farrell/Easterby will be fast tracking Osbourne and Leinster will be without Henshaw, Ringrose and Osbourne for next seasons 6N period OneF? I should know ...

The only relationship the All Blacks have been faithful to is money!

Whether we signed barrett or not, I reckon we're losing at least one outhalf - we currently have 4.5 on our books and that's too many. I'd imagine Harry and Tector will be moved on.

It's JB - short term contract next december Short term until Dec? So is he available for urc run in and champions cup semi?

I'm not sure they'd tease a coach like that. In a hoodie etc.

That's very true alright, personally though I think its a replacement for Goodman. I would need to change my underoos if it were Jordie though!

Is it necessarily a player?

Gibson-Park sold Dickson a pup and got a peno off Kerr-Barlow that one scrum where he fed the ball into the scrum and straight out route one without Sheehan's boot even touching it. Aldritt with justification protested loudly bout that one, but them's the breaks, I guess. :lol: :lol: :lol: That was...

Gonna dissent from the agreed wisdom. We’re gettting to play in Dublin because of the “avarice” of EPCR in the first place. This ties in with Stephen Jones criticism in the times(he’s not the first). Home country advantage is a compromise EPCR make to cover themselves with attendances. We are I’d s...

I agree with your general point though.

Tomato-potatoe, as they say. I'm surprised I was even close! Maths not a particular strength.

You should get a job with EPCR

Absolutely, who can forget Ireland's grand slam triumph of 2009, coached as they were by the much loved Declan Kidney. Yes- that’s fair enough: sarcasm aside, of course. I will say Kidney was never anything as unpopular with Leinster fans as ROG. The dislike- don’t like using “hate”, is fairly visc...
