Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
That’s not fair, being upset and posting online doesn’t make someone a scumbag. Would appreciate if you could rescind that comment I echo the view of OSS on your description of that Munsterfans poster. Expressing his or hers opinion on attendance at Ireland games doesn’t mean he or she is a scumbag...

Re: Connacht 2023/24
by berliner And not exactly lit up the world either. I think they are trying to shoehorn him into a position that isn't his best one. Don't know why they don't give him a go at ten. Couldn't do worse than Carty or Hanrahan. Agreed. I thought he was great at 12 last year, but he hasn't been effectiv...

Yeah. A sensational try by Ntamack in the last few moments won the Bouclier for Toulouse. I live close to the French border and every Rugby fan outside LAR will be cheering for Leinster tomorrow. LAR are the new Toulon. ROG is regarded as a cheque book coach with a big mouth. It's just BS from ye b...

Re: Munster 2023/2024 - Return of the Jedi????
I'm sure they'd have someone ahead of Ian Dowling. Dowling is the only player I'd have a think about though the ageing version of Simon Zebo that played at the weekend as the alternative wouldn't be a game changer in my view. Earls was on the bench that day incidentally and was a Lion the year afte...

Re: Connacht 2023/24
If Tom Farrell isn't offered a new contract by Connacht, and instead is offered terms by Munster heads should roll at the Sportsground.

Re: Rumour Mill
The big question is who's going to Ulster. There is no way IRFU approved the BB move without having a decent 10 settled for Ulster. I'd imagine it's an outsider. Would Foley be too old? 35 in September. Will Ben and Jack follow their Dad north? Strong rumour that Jack is heading that way. They stil...

Re: Ulster 2023/24
It it's you're stuck for 1 game then you wouldn't care about age. If its about bringing someone in who mightn't play but you want to think long term then it wouldn't be an older player. Jager is newly available so it makes sense to look at him quickly. Dooley has been eligible for a long time, so h...

Re: England v Ireland Saturday 9th March 2024 4.45pmTwickenham
Furlong, McCarthy, O'Mahony, and Doris struggled today. All should be benched for next Saturday with Bealham, Henderson, Baird, and Conan starting. Murray also needs to be jettisoned with (for the moment only) Casey benching vs Scotland.

Re: Connacht 2023/24
I have heard Thornbury is on his way out too. His injury profile is such that he is unlikely to offered a new contract, particularly with Josh Murphy due to return. Props Burke and Robertson-McCoy, hookers Moore and McElroy, utility back McNamara, are also likely to join Daly, Boyle, Kilgallen, and...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
The Jager decision stinks of payback for returning home after Faz courted him heavily. Finlay was available two weeks ago when the baby had just arrived, so probably available again and Faz has not said he wasn't. Whatever about Finlay, TOT will also be cheesed off. He proved himself over the last ...

Re: Connacht 2023/24
Connacht upskilling coaches like mossy lawler who then returns to his home province and poaches one of their best attackers will make them second guess hiring Irish coaches outside the province. Farrell is a known fan of kilgallen so maybe wanted him to move too. Bad day for Connacht though Don't s...

Some good comments about Connacht's lack of gametime for it's younger players on boards Zeugnis Feb 5, 2024 Very much enjoyed the U20 game against France. As mentioned above Hugh Gavin was very impressive. Looking at last year's line up, I noted that 11-13 are all now in our Academy: (11) James Nic...

Re: A New Era 2023/24 season and beyond: Back Three
Gavins dad is a connacht board member, he isnt going anywhere. Id also prefer leinster got back to developing their own back talent. Good points. Connacht have young talent at centre. They should build around them at all costs short of ditching Aki. Forde is also a really promising player. Connacht...
