McRae dislikes his notoriety? Id be interested to read more about that if you can point me toward any interviews https://www.balls.ie/rugby/he-did-something-i-saw-red-duncan-mcrae-gives-interesting-interview-on-ogara-incident-83754 Edit: And here's the quote. ‘He and I know what happened in there. ...

Yea but my point is that Leinsters influence on the national team was less. They had never won a Heineken Cup, they had maybe 4 or 5 starters. Munster had probably 9-10 starters for Ireland. Now we have ROG who is hated by the team with a dozen Ireland starters. A lot bigger issue than Deccie. I ge...

I don't really buy this idea of ROG as a cheque book coach. He joins La Rochelle ahead of the 2019-20 season with Jonno Gibes as his Director of Rugby. Then he becomes top dog for the 2021-22 season. He certainly hasn't signed most of their best players. Botia and Atonio are over a decade at La Roc...

I don’t think that one bears scrutiny

Will Connors, what a performance. Everyone deserves someone to love them the way that man loves tackling…

Match Preview Once more unto the breach, dear friends! For the fourth season running Leinster will meet La Rochelle in the knock-out stages of the Champions Cup. And it's fair to say Leinster have had their fill of La Rochelle at this stage. There have been three heart-breaking defeats, with each o...

I can't believe you forgot Jamie Hagan

Oh and Cian Kelleher

Tbf, I’d imagine you’re one of the few to remember Cian Kelleher - is he doing the Leo the Lion gig now?

You can add Jamie bleedin Hagan to that list

The travel that La Rochelle have done in the last 10 days will have to weigh on them and I'd expect their fitness to falter in the final 30 mins. Target the guys most likely to play the full 80 and mess with the bench plan as much as possible. I know this group of players are a year older but their...

ROG has LAR based in Cork for week for training camp . Of course he does :roll: Will at least give the Munster Fans something to get behind after they lose to Northampton today :green clap: I’m no fan of Lar coach but I think we are better not giving him any oxygen for this one. Best way to treat h...

Wash your keyboards out with soap.

I always thought Jags were a bit meh myself

They are obliged to have a second qualified TH in the squad. They can if they choose have the starting #1 as the only TH cover which is apparently what they are doing with two LH on the bench.

ahhhh, nuance

I think they’re obliged to have a qualified TH in the bench, no?

Ah good shout. tigerburnie still around? it's starting at garden of remembrance, just off O'Connell street 2-3pm saturday. I think it's the "Ireland is full" mob....if you mention they are like the National Front or British First, they should get the gist. they had the same stuff in engla...

How would Jim Hamilton know anything about this?

Birch told him

What's Leinsters record for guys they've passed on for Academy places going elsewhere and getting full contracts? Any stand out misses? timoney ? prendergast the older ? Don't Think Either make our first 23 at the moment either. Positive for us and their careers IMO. You’re probably right, but doin...

I suspect that happened many moons ago…

Great player, mind

'Great' is stretching it a little. A good English scrum-half of his era.
