Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
love the "happier coach" line in some of the media post match yesterday. kudos to Gatland for managing to manipulate & nurture this. Wales lost 31-7 playing against a team down to 14 for a large chunk of the game and their only score was a dubious penalty try (it looked like Wales bro...

Re: ROG "The Special one"
Dante with a red card today. Suspension may follow into some La Rochelle games, given he not long back from previous suspension. 26 cards over the course of his career, is there a player with a worse record? Incredible. I had no idea it was that many. This is his fourth card, and second red, since ...

Re: Irish U20s 2024
De Klerk always looks like a classy player to me. Possibly a bit of the small but standing beside Gavin wouldn’t do anyone any favours. His passing is a bit ropey tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk True, he’s thrown a couple of high passes left to right. Yes, I noticed that too. Only reall...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
This 6-2 bench split, I think, is more preparation towards the SA tour in the summer than the Welsh game. Farrell and the rest of the coaching squad reckon we have more than enough to win and to test out a JagerBomb Squad bench. The welsh are being realistic and a losing bonus point will be an amaz...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
I can't understand how Stockdale remains in camp.I suppose it's a real lack of options. Earls and Conway have retired. Hansen and Jimmy O'Brien are injured. Three of those four were in the RWC23 squad, and the exception [Conway] was a Farrell regular before the knee injury that ended his career. We...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
I know you're joking, but I was thinking the same thing at the weekend. He's been mostly fit for a season and a half now, he starts all the time, and has scored 7 tries this season. Despite that, he still looks absolutely devoid of confidence. What's it going to take for him to get his mojo back? I...

Re: Leinster Squad 23-24
Milne wont be the only senior contracted leinster player to move to Munster this summer. Alex Soroka will likely be joining him. Wouldn't surprise me. It has been rumoured before. Alex is a big personality and a headstrong guy who is probably unhappy that he hasn't made quicker progress. He's a goo...

Re: Leinster Squad 23-24
Yep I thought both starting and finishing props did very well both in scrum and open play. You can see Boyle is a serious talent but Clarkson has again shown he's well capable of being at this level and he has been brought through incredibly well this season by Leo et al. Thought all our front rows...

Re: 6 Nations 2024
Frawley at 15 and Lowe at 11 has a whole lot more upside and looks way more solid than Lowe at 15 and Stockdale at 11. No idea why you'd want to move one of our best backs out of the position he has played almost exclusively since he has come to Ireland and get Stockdale in. Frawley has played a go...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
andy dunne calling for larmour to play centre and if leinster dont view him there that he should consider his future, of course gets a mention of Frawley doing the same too :lol: I think utility back is probably larmours best shot at more Ireland caps so maybe not the maddest idea going.

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...

Re: Leinster vs Benetton, Feb 17th, 2024
I would think that Frawley being released is to give him time in the saddle at 15 before Wales. There's obviously a slight risk to that in him taking a knock, but probably a good call, particularly considering he has played just 1 minute in the last two months and his last game at 15 was on NYD. Ye...
