Whatever about what Zebo did in the past, which was a potentially morally wrong, it was by all accounts a consensual event, much like other Irish rugby players who have been filmed performing similar acts. But if anyone in the public eye supports some of the BS which Zebo is reported to unintentiona...

I can assure all of you that the last thing I do on here is intentionally WUM or troll or whatever childish swipe people want to make. I am on here a long time at this stage and I know that the more balanced individuals know this. In an effort to reduce the likelihood of offending people or receivi...

The more I read and hear about this man, the more I admire him. He is not only a role model on the field with the way he goes about his business, he is also a great example for anyone who is suffering from a mental health illness or issue. If Ireland do win the RWC, it is this man that I will be mos...

Ah c’mon, really ??? I had my suspicions but wanted to get confirmation as I don't find the individual to be too bad really. Yes, biased in the extreme, but tolerable. I'm also always quite impressed by how posters generally behave on this site as opposed to Shelbyville which I find increasingly di...

I have reduced my online presence over the last couple of months due to personal reasons, but I do find it interesting that 2 posters have had their posts edited by the mods, for what must have been abuse of another poster. I can assure you that I did not report these posts, infact i am a bit annoye...

There's always been a bit of that. Yet somehow he's accumulated 39 caps, was a starting Lion playing 3 tests, has won 2 Grand Slams, a Champions Cup and 4 Pro 14's - coaches know exactly what he offers and his quality as a player. They didn't like Heaslip so much. They loved 2 guys who were renowne...

There's no underestimating. Rugby fans are continuing obsessed with underestimating or showing disrespect. The team Matt picked would beat almost all of the teams in the teams right now. It is more than good enough to hammer Tonga. The only way to avoid underestimating or disrespect is to pick your...

Bealham, Baird, O’Brien will come into the 23 for Tonga and probably Henshaw and McCluskey. Would also like to see Conan and Sheehan if fit and also Ross Byrne who might come on early in second half for Sexton. A lot of people don’t want to risk Sexton for this one but he may need 45 mins against b...

Sexton should not have played with the kick through. This is not Earls' fault (unless he called it). The choices/actions of Earls after the kick are his responsibility. A bad situation was not made better by them. Earls had to shoot up after that kick, that is the role that he was playing in that m...

I would have to question anyone’s knowledge of back 3 play and the responsibility of the wider backline if they believe that Earls was responsible for the Romania try.

Yep, Munster are streaming it for 6 euro Jesus that's very steep for a preseason game. Munster are streaming it on access Munster which is 6 euro a month. There's some decent interesting general rugby stuff as well as typical Munster guff. If you choose to subscribe skim through the back catalogue ...

That is a seriously strong team for this opposition. Romania are probably one of the weakest teams in the cup and will most likely ship 60+ points in this one. I personally am looking forward to seeing just how many tries our team can run in. Hopefully Sexton comes through this game unharmed. He co...

Firstly, congratulations to the Leinster ladies who, despite Munster putting it up to them for 3/4 of the game, managed to hammer a very good Munster team. Munster need to go back to the drawing board a bit as their fitness and strength up front let them down. These lessons are very valuable and wil...

Firstly, I really feel for Healy. You could see from his reaction how upset he was with the injury which he would likely have known himself, that he was likely to be out for a while. The timing couldn’t be worse really, and could well be the last we see of him in green as Ireland move into the next ...
