Dan Brennan is 132kg loosehead. Does anyone think he'd be the same weight having come through the Irish system? He'd be a good chunk smaller. I don't know whether he'd be a better or worse player. It's not just scrums, it's not just youths rugby. As an aside, Brive have been relegated so it's a bet...

primarily played 2nd row, openside and wing tho have played every position except in the front row at levels from u16 up to j1

Probably a bit late to the party on this but did anyone else think colm de buitlears comments after the AIL final were total sh!t? Making out like academy players up and down the country were getting smoked by AIL lads. The very odd time maybe and ironically it was the loose head prop on his own te...

No bother. Didn't want to miss anything today. ;-) it wouldn’t have been a bad idea to have it as a double header with the Leinster v Sharks match. Next year! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Great idea. Introduce some people to the Club game. And would cut costs of opening stadium for a second d...

by munster#1 Great to see Munster expanding their initiative for Centres of excellence. Munster will build a full sized indoor pitch along with an full sized outdoor pitch along with gym and other facilities, for use in the development of grass roots rugby. https://www.live95fm.ie/news/live95-new ....

Not sure if they could at this short of notice but there'd certainly be the interest and by extension money to be made. No venue really suitable. How much more would they need or get to attend? Thomond Park obvi...
