I'm thinking James Ryan will be more than just a fringe player next season

Max Van Dyk did get to play once.

Haven't seen the game yet but on reading a few reports, if you watched the game with British eyes Henshaw had an absolute mare and can't pass, with Irish eyes played very well and is staking a claim for the test shirt. Bias will happen either way but it's still very annoying. Yeah the different vie...

Crowds gather in Knock after boy (14) 'told to expect vision of Virgin Mary' CROWDS of devoted worshippers gathered at Knock shrine today where a traveller teenager had been told to expect a vision of the Virgin Mary. A 14-year-old boy had been at the shrine in Fatima last May with his family when ...

Not the worst

I felt pretty sorry for Gatland , because the players were doing some fairly plankish stuff at times. What was it, 2 penalties and a free kick at lineout in the first half alone? That was stupid, then sonny bill made Itoje (who had plenty of good moments too in fairness) look very silly after his c...

Paddy Power were offering 100/1 on that after the first game!!

Ah bollix. The dodgy box and no recording for me then. :( Aren't they on in the middle of the night also? Game in the USA is at 5pm local time so 10pm here on 10th June. Two games in Japan kick off at 2pm and 2.40pm local time. They're 8 hours ahead of us so I make that 6am (17 June) and 6.40am (24...

Nothing in that BBC? Elbow dropped to the face when he's on the floor!

Mitrea left his balls at home.

BBC are hilariously biased

SOB out: http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/sean-obrien-out-of-leinster-23/?FixGuid=16LS1479 Wonder what it means for his Lions tour. Personally, I would rather none of our players went but I am sure he would be devastated, so I'm sorry for him. Interestingly, they have brought Ross Byrne onto the bench. ...

It's still nonsense to be having a pop at the fans though. I mean he actually slags off people for making the trip to Lyon. Did he look at the fans at the Clermont game and just think "you wouldn't see all of these in the RDS" instead of it just being great support? What a pr!*k. I don't ...

JGP could probably do a decent stint on the wing if needed. Let's not forget his Champions Cup try

top 7 from Pro12 go through from next season without any guaranteed national representation looks like playoffs scrapped too and instead Challenge Cup winners (or losers) get the last place Agree with this. I don't see any point in having an Italian side in the Champions Cup until they can get ther...

Paddy Power are giving a spread of 11 points! Not sure I'd be that confident. I'd see it being a tighter game.
