Where did he make the original claim? Would it not be worth going after the people that allow Franno spout cr@p. ie: if it was in the tribune demand a reply and/or an apology from the paper. The 3 seems to have 3 jobs (Setanta, the Last Word and Tribune). In this recessionary time surly he can give...

First a little theory of mine. I think the Boks were taken totally by surprise at their dominance in the scrum in the first test. (Just about everybody else was it would appear) As a result they went straight to plan B becasue they didn't need plan A. So question is what was their plan A and what is...

Have to say that's Sky's website is pantaloons For those of you who didn't know what pantaloons might be - The Pantaloons From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Pantaloons are an English touring theatre company specialising in open-air productions of the plays of William Shakespeare.

I'd like to add blokes that wear scarves indoors. They deserve such a kick in the swiss. Wait til yer older and get a stiff neck yerself and then see do you still feel the same way - The youth of today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :roll: Wasn't referring to the elders of this world OS. More the twenty somethings ...

<bump> How did you get on with the extraction and conversion Oldschool? Extraction no problem and very quick. Conversion as you and others, suggested looks like a no go, unless I can figure a way of feeding the copied files back thru the decoder. (Would the RF input be enough or does it have to com...

No replacement scrum half seems a bit of a gamble... Pienaar has played a lot of his career at scrum half so he could step in there if anything happened to Du Preez with Morne Steyn coming on at 10. Surprised they kept that centre combination together. It was the one area where the Lions dominated ...

earls had played a lot at full back so it is no surprise he is there now, it is not his best position at times he isn't the most confidant looking player at full back, he is great going forward but sometimes his ability under a high ball is questionable i'd prefere him in the center. i am hoping th...

Young Keith doesn't have what it takes to play centre (physicality, defense etc).
He's quick and elusive => Wing or FB maybe.

He was very good in the CC Final and thoughout the tournament - very solid. He's been very solid for Leinster, whenever he has played. I'd say he has a very good temperament and doesn't get flustered, no matter what. He also has the added advantage of being a good place kicker. This will be vital in...

The Lions will really be in trouble if the Boks appoint a lippy black woman as captain - POC won't stand a chance. (We need to get a lippy Cork woman out there quick, just in case.) I usually rally against political correctness but that's a fairly stupid comment to make. Mods? The comments are reas...

Well then he should "shag" off then, shouldn't he.

I didn't say you mentioned those guys for the slaughter. But the whole point of this thread of this to recognise the guys who should be dropped. But ironically, as this site often does, Leinster, specifically, and Irish players are immune from such criticisms. Someone mentioned Heaslip, but that's ...

i would drop jamie to the bench move wally to #8 and bring in williams at 7. Laughable. Why is is laughable? The point of BlueBlue's post is to recognise the players who didn't play well, and find an alternative. You're looking at this through the eyes of a Leinster/Ireland fan. If Stephen Jones, U...

While happy will the result, we can't be happy will the performance and we let them back into the game. We won't get the same dominance in the scrum and our maul only really got going a couple of times. Their second half performance with a stable scrum was worrying. Our back row didn't boss the game...

Look, pissed off that the most important leader in the world gets his kicks from killing flies. I always open my bloody windows and spend a long time getting them out, But I am not going to swat them as they have their place in the same way that humans do. What makes us so bloody special?[/ quote] ...

I refused to buy the Times, but it is going to be interesting to hear how he justifies Vickeries demise.
(And who he blames for said demise)

BOD, roberts and kearney were all very good. croft did well to keep up with the game play. vickery was found out. POC and wyn jones were quite enough but not bad, worked well though. steven jones was poor, took the ball into contact to much even though he is not an attacking threat. monye- just now...

You've been listening to too much Sky Sports dan - it was only Saffa arrogance that prevented a fairly significant hiding today, it was like men against boys at times in the first half. While the breakdown didn't materialise as a major weakness of the Lions (Jamie and Wallace did well on that front...
