Not always brilliant, but I think playing in the Pro12 has helped a lot in pushing him towards brilliance level.

I think you are keeping the hedge as a bargaining chip to save the terrace.

If they lose the terrace I'm going to sneak in at night and plant a fecken hedge, guerilla gardening style!

Still no terrace, still no hedge.

This is taken from RTE website: Link Credit to Kidney for blooding players Indeed, Kidney must be given credit for blooding other players this season. I alluded to this last week, and it became all the more evident against France, as many of the new-look Ireland performed with aplomb. I can not com...

The contact between Debatty and Earls was in the field of play and therefore was not something that the TMO should have adjudicated on anyway. Is that not right? Anyway I seem to be the only person not to think it was a penalty. I agree on both of those counts. TMO couldn't rule on it under current...

No terrace and no hedge? You sure this is the RDS? We can't possibly lose both! I too have been a terrace dweller in the RDS and Donnybrook. The complete removal of the terrace leaves me feeling distinctly underwhelmed. I hope this is a first draft and the powers that be are working out the best way...

Can somebody please tell me what the bloody hell the Harlem Shake thing is all about? Am I missing some sort of gene that would make me appreciate the internet being overloaded with different versions of it?

Ah yes, but why did he miss the Wales game? Because the appeal hadn't been heard, and because Shaun Edwards said Parisse was mean to one of the Welsh players once. Ha, very good- why did he get a ban at all if there was evidence available to prove other wise? Well at the original hearing the ref sa...

Parisse gets ban reduced: http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,3551_8543808,00.html Jokeshop bullshit from these guys Well if he didn't do it then it's a fair decision. He got reduced to 20 days for failing in his captain's duties. WTF is that all about? Did something get lost in translation so...

Take note keyboard warriors, Connor George is not best pleased with you: That tiny and petty minority who take to social media and criticise from behind the coward's veil of anonymity should ask themselves the question: without O'Gara would Ireland have won four Triple Crowns and a Grand Slam? O'Ga...

Firstly Rte said that we don't have the quality coming through after the game last night, so i'm not sure where that comment came from. You are way off the mark comparing killer to healy, healy is not the norm for l/hs, killer is fast for a l/h, just healy is faster, this should not take away from ...

King Kahn could have gone off at half time and still been man of the match. Are he and Duncan Williams playing the same sport?

Fixed - and yes that does include me in my playing days.

Apparently bad bounces are the cause of the aimless kicks down the middle. Irish commentary as insightful and balanced as ever.

He could be slower than Owen Finegan.

Incredible kick apparently.

It's a pretty empty stadium down there tonight.

Interesting bit from the times; "Meanwhile, confirmation by Leinster manager Guy Easterby earlier this week that the province are in the market for a foreign outhalf to replace Jonathan Sexton may prove good news for Ronan O’Gara. O’Gara, 36 next month, has yet to sign a new contract with Muns...
