No alcohol back in the seats at this match. Sent from my CPH2145 using Tapatalk Why? We’re allowed to do it in the Aviva From the article in The Independent: “Rugby fans are typically allowed to bring alcoholic drinks back to their seats at the Aviva Stadium however event organisers European Profes...

Rather I suggested, in terms, that we should be less sensitive to imagined or minor slights. and others are looking at the collection of slights (your word) as more than the sum of their parts. When they are consistently repeated as gospel, actual truth gets lost and the accepted nbarrative becomes...

Going up against the Lions and going up against the Stormers isn't some sort of pointless task. A weaker team than we sent out last week beat the Lions last year. The team we sent over to play the Stormers two seasons ago – the season they won the URC - wasn't anything like our strongest team eithe...

We like to beat ya, but no one else is allowed. Most Leinster fans support provinces when they're not playing another province. Even if we didn't we still want a financially strong Munster that contributed loads of players to the Ireland team. Absolutely. Apparently it's the competition for places ...

WRT Scannell, he was always seen as a "something different" 12 back when that was still a thing. Nobody really talks about that now. Thats a 10/12/15 role for a 6-2 split IMO. Bringing in De Allende brought into sharp focus what Scannell didn't bring whatever his merits. You couldn't drop...

For example if he frames the question as "we all agree that Leinster have an unfair advantage, how do we fix it?", rather than "what can the IRFU do to help the other three provinces become more competitive?" it feeds into a different narrative. Its that word thats the most dama...

You'd have to imagine the coaches are prepared for all outcomes, including losing to the Lions. If they haven't a plan, then that'd be a pretty glaring problem. So I highly doubt we'll see anyone fly out to SA. It's incredibly unlikely. We've got a team preparing for a sold out European semi-final ...

On the topic of anchors I quite like Joe Malloy.

Thanks for posting. Interesting read. I like Joe Molloy too, but I gave up listening to OTB last May after the ERCC final.

Yeah, he really didn't turn up.

by naraic » April 21st, 2024, 11:13 am sunshiner1 How is Marmion doing there as a matter of interest? Firmly second choice. 4 starts and 17 bench appearances. Surprised at that. Always rated him highly and thought he would have been fantastic in Farrell's system as he's the closest scrumhalf to JGP...

“Leinster have the money, Munster have the points.” Daire O’Briain on RTE. It’s not journalism but it’s fine, and even funny. But can we stop the pretence that the Irish rugby media is impartial? How Munster fans, with a straight face, still claim the rugby media and establishment is against them i...

It is of course possible that our Management, and many of our supporters, forgot that Connacht conceded 38 points to the Lions in the Showgrounds on 23rd March. Some felt that this was an abysmal display by Connacht but others remarked on how sharp the Lions' attack was and attributed as much credi...

So much emotion last week, it went wrong this week 3500km away and 1800m higher against a decent side who are strong at home.

It sucks. But we learn and move on.

100%!!!

I think that if GoEasy checks the league table he'll find that Leinster also have some points. He was delighted with himself today. He's an eejit. For those of us not in RTÉland, Go Easy is who? From Wiki: Daire O'Brien is an Irish broadcaster and journalist. He is best known for being the presente...

Go easy signs off rte programme with “Leinster have the money Munster have the points” and O’Callaghan contradicts everything he said at start of programme about Munster not able to compete financially. That said delighted to see Bulls drop 4 points and they will miss Goosen for some games. I think...

Northampton whacked Leicester today in the Prem 40-17.

FT: 22-27. Well done agus grma, Munster!

22-22, 59 mins. Bulls down to 14 men.
