Still my favourite offering from the Leinster marketing.

Re: La Rochelle v Leinster Sunday 3.15 TNT Sports
Ha ha, yeah, missing a center and a prop - I'm guessing Darcy and Ollie Le Roux? We took 3 buses, Shane Byrne was on ours and stopped in the Horse and Jockey alright. It was very very wet, probably better to stand on a terrace vs sitting and getting drowned in a seat in La Rochelle! Both games were...

Re: A New Era 2023/24 season and beyond: Outhalf
Frawley strikes the ball beautifully, has done since his debut as a 20 year old. Even among professional players and regular kickers [out of hand and off the ground] some players have a better kicking motion and connect better with the ball than others. It's a little bit like golf, I suppose ... so...

Re: A New Era 2023/24 season and beyond: Outhalf
I sometimes wonder whether the support for Frawley from the media is partially garnered for its merits as a talking point. They can get more content and takes out of the Frawley situation then simply ‘which Byrne brother is better’. Not to deride them of course, it’s their job, but you’d wonder whe...

Re: US Major League Rugby 20/21
Are there any MLR teams not hemorrhaging money? Are there any professional clubs in world rugby not hemorrhaging money? It seems to be me that either you are backed by a union or sugar daddy or else you fold. I feel like a decent chunk of TopXV are modestly profitable. Exeter, Northampton and Leice...

Cons - not great, little or no insight, repeats whatever IRFU wants him to, adores the pashun of Munster to the detriment of any journalistic objectiveness
Pros - not Stephen Jones, probably grand to have a pint with, has leather jacket

Re: Leinster v Connacht - 2nd Dec 2023, 7:35pm, RTE Sports, Premier Sports
Archer got away with a few obvious ones the week before I thought. I mean if I can spot he was over extended, how could Busby miss it? Still, thought Busby had two good games apart from the scrum. When so much of that game was taken up with resets/lectures/free kicks I couldn't possibly separate th...

I know it was generally a bad day for the scrum but what were opinions on Ed Byrne's performance? I noticed about half way through the game his tackle technique seems pretty poor attempting to soak or drag the player down well past the gain line. I was very impressed with Busby last week and I coul...

Dal Maso has Parkinson's.
I would doubt he would make a major move at this point considering he's just about still able to coach.
There's a recent pay-walled article about him on the Telegraph site.
