Now I am worried that your worried that your not worried

Watched the Breakdown there during my lunch. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it is a Kiwi TV programme that features some ex all blacks. Usually quite insightful but their prediction of the outcome of the quarter final and their reasons for it were terrible. They basically reckon Ireland don't...

A week ago, fraught with anxiety facing the prospect of playing Scotland, I did a deep dive into Ireland's games since July 2021, which I judged to be broadly the post-Covid era and particularly, the emergence of Andy Farrell's Ireland. This date also marked the commencement of the period for what ...

my exact view too.. and Henshaw / Ryan will be back if needed - remarkable injury record - we are blessed - but hopefully we can now seal the deal as our team is as good as it can be.

I think Hansen is just so good, the speed at which he comes off his wing and contributes to the short passing game is immense. He has a natural instinct for this type of play and the "crazy" staff he does is fab, i.e. kick / chase. I am a big fan of Earls too - he is solid but simply does ...

Earls is one of my all time favorites. Deserves every congrats on 100 caps. To me, there is no decision between Stockdale and Earls, Earls by a mile. But actually I dont know if he will be selected. We will probably take 5 back 3 players max: so given that Keenan/Lowe/Hansen are shoe ins, then if 5 ...

How many lar fans will be there realistically? Hard to know between the ones who are travelling from France or the ones from Cork with lar or munster shirts on?!! I'm travelling over from the u.k. tomorrow morning and can't wait!!! COYBIB with the Taylor fight on , I guess many hotel rooms are full...

Looking at the 2 teams on paper, it’s hard to see past a Leinster victory. Add in the home advantage and it almost makes it a certainty. It is essentially Ireland plus a few other internationals up against a club team. Leinster need to keep the ball, and I mean completely starve the opposition of p...

with the building standards of the 2000s - anyone could run thru the irish brick walls

I think HB is injured.

was that why he didnt kick the conversion last Sat?

:( I am sick with nerves - but the most relevant fact is that most of our team have big game experience and especially after last weekend and LaR beating us twice - there will be absolutely no complacency ( I think there was last weekend!!). LaR has not played us in Dublin, and frankly that does cou...

6 days out and no news about a Fans zone is bad form, I am presuming it will be back pitch or maybe RDS? For me the best was Bilbao. The Marseille one was eh... just didnt get into it. Newcastle was grand but nothing special. Cardiff I actually cant remember as I was miraculously carried on a cloud...

I would agree with Porter, Sheehan, Furlong, Ryan, Molony/Jenkins, Baird/Doris, VDF, Doris/Conan, JGP, Ross, Lowe, Henshaw, Ringer, JOB, Keenan Kelleher, Healy, Mike, Molony/Jenkins, Baird/Conan, McGrath, Harry, Ngatai But I would opt for Molony, Baird and Doris combo to start, given the shift that ...

Great to see Henshaw and Kelleher back, now we just wait on Lowe to find out if we will have a full squad to pick from for next week. Good team for tomorrow - it obviously will be tighter than what it could be if we were full metal jacket (to quote eddy o'sullivan) - but we still should be strong e...

just logged on to find I am in a Probability / Maths forum

It was a neutral venue in name only!! What did we except - with Marseille a bus ride (long one) from La Rochelle and cheap compared to our travel costs. Its what home country advantage is all about - do you think our numbers attending would be significantly reduced if the Match was in Belfast!! Any...

According to IT "Rónan Kelleher back training fully with Leinster ahead of Munster clash" , with healy's ankle still being assessed

Does anyone know when the Irish World Cup jersey will be released??
