Oh I missed that

Some new gear launched on Leinster Store https://shop.leinsterrugby.ie/collections/23-24-lifestyle-collection When Le Coq Sportif came back to France a few years back I was surprised how expensive the merch was. That 118 euro quarter zip is now in that category of crazy expensive (and pretty darn p...

Yes

I'll be in city centre on Sat evening (Dublin). Can anyone recommend a good place to watch the game, from experience? I nearly always watch at home. Slattery's on Capel Street used to be. Ah thanks OS but I'll be around Stephens Green area and need to be somewhere straight after the game so Capel S...

Is SB being brave and sticking to his guns and continuing to focus on developing a new style and ignoring the outside noise (a al AF in 2020/21) as he knows the championship is gone or is he just picking random players under media pressure. Hard to know which it is. This selection with Ford at 10 –...

I don't think the reason rumoured for the exclusion of Tony Ward was called "sailing close to the wind"....even in the 70s...that's another story. The prevailing selection theory was that Ward was an excellent player but that the back line moved better with Ollie at 10. Also Ward was a fu...

You think that link play is one of POM strengths? Can’t say I’ve ever been overwhelmed by his role in attack.

Ooh, you’ve been saving that one up kid…

I'm clearly in a small minority who don't get it with Harry. Don't get me wrong, he's a good player but I just haven't seen him control a game in the same manner that I've witnessed his brother do. I've obviously no dog in the fight and I'm likely to be proven mad wrong in the future but as things ...

I see the telegraph pushing the fact that Molony is English qualified. Would they cap him? No. But it has implications for the club if he is English qualified. Can't recall if relates to financial support from the RFU or rules around squad composition but I believe it is useful for them Sent from m...

The Scottish RFU tried to approach London Scottish with a view to having another pro team, the English RFU were quite firm in their rebuttal and that was to play in the English leagues, would you want Wasps playing home games in Athy but in the English Premiership? fair points.

Thought that was an unsatisfying performance, to be honest. I think most of the players put in a solid effort, but the decision-making and handling and tackling was unimpressive. The players out of position [Harry Byrne at No12 and Larmour at No15] made costly errors, made basic errors and played l...

Oh the Jones one is not pleasant and so very misogynistic lads, I've just gone to see Dune 2 with the young fella, and I'll probably have to wait about two or three years for Dune Messiah. Please don't make me wait that long for the Stephen Jones being a dick story Film was epic and I've read the b...

The story goes Geogho and another London based Bath player were getting the train back home. They decided to have some world earned tea and fruit scones. Some hammered 20 stone skinhead decided to grab Geogho's scone and he proceeded to tell yer man in no uncertain terms loud enough for him to hear...

Billy Walsh maintained his position as one of the most successful and winning boxing coaches in the world after he was turfed out. EOS never got another big job and now splits his time being a fairly mediocre media talking head and having strange semi conspiracy theory views. Those two are not the ...

SA undoubtedly the best, they went through France, England, and NZ to win it. We might have beat them but NZ beat us out of the gate. I think they're incredibly disrespected as team for some reason, man for man they have some of the best players in the world playing their role to an incredibly high...
