Another mass shooting in the US. 14 Children dead and counting.
They have crazy people over there.
We have crazy people over here.
Our crazy people find it very difficult to get guns.

Springbok hooker Joseph Dweba will return to South Africa next season, having signed a three-year deal with the Stormers. The front row powerhouse has spent the last two years playing in France for Top 14 side Bordeaux-Begles. He's some player, the South Africans will be even stronger next year. I ...

One of funniest things about visiting MunsterFans after a bad defeat (and saturday was as bad as it gets) is seeing all the Leinster fans come down to post advice to them on how to get better.
That must really boil their P!ss!

Should we be afraid of the Skelton in the closet?

Roundtree has one advantage taking over from VG.
He doesn't have too much to live up to.

But thats the problem. He has '78, '06 and '08 to live up to.
VG is going to a place were midtable makes him a god.

Yeah Ulster always sh!t the bed.

G&Tonical Ali?

Wow Gerry Thornley on total Comical Ali mode. Apparently Munster's ain was to entertain on Saturday rather than win. The way he goes on you swear it was Munster with the second strings out and having little on the line. Sure weren't they great for having a go. I wonder does GT get a call on Sunday ...

I’d actually be interested in reading some rugby journalism about Dunne. Like, some analysis of his rugby career, his Leinster experience and why he’s going. It's such lazy journalism to write the 100th article about his sexuality. Like, he’s been out publicly for years. Fair play to him, of course...

Any word on date and time for our Q-Final vs Glasgow in URC? 3:15pm on the Saturday 4th June all games Friday, June 3 Ulster v Munster 19:35 UK/IRE (20:35 SA)Kingspan Stadium, Belfast Saturday, June 4 Vodacom Bulls v Cell C Sharks 12:45 UK/IRE (13:45 SA) Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria Leinster v Glasgow...

According to the rules, Glasgow would be at home if they beat us.
Semi-Final 1 "The winner of QF1 will be the "home" Club unless Pro-rugby Championship determines otherwise"

GT in the IT saying a win up in ravers will send Munster into the hands of the Bulls/Sharks.
URC rules say they will play Stormers /Edinburgh.

he said it on the rugbypod I call bullshit. Maybe if you include all the coaching staff, CCROs, admin, grounds people etc you might get close but I doubt it. Yeah he said at the very beginning that he didn't really know but the Welsh and English are going mad for it. So, with our 60th player this s...

It is now Leinster 58 Munster 44* (including the rainbow cup)

The Rainbow wha? That's not a real thing.

Stormers v Edinburgh could be a tricky enough game for the Stormers to negotiate. Edinburgh were very competitive down south earlier in the season. Agreed. Edinburgh look like a half decent team. The South Africans think that Edinburgh's victory down there (the only home defeat IIRC) was because it...

Looking back on the game what most stands out is Leinster's basic ferociousness in every phase of play. Rory0' said after the game that the boys were "rarin to go" and it looked just like that.
Special mention for Chris Farrell, he was a real handfull last night.

Daily Mail 'There's definitely the perception that if you're gay you might be soft, but rugby's making progress': Exeter-bound Jack Dunne will soon be the Premiership's only 'out' player and the 6ft 7in, 18st forward is ready to challenge prejudice • Jack Dunne is the only active professional in rug...

Feckin great weekend of Rugby. Ulster/Sharks last night, Benetton giving Cardiff a very unenjoyable 69. Bulls looking really good too. Today, Connacht squeezed past Zebre, Stormers scored a try at the death to secure a home QF and probable SF. And then of course, the Leinster whippersnappers tore Mu...
