Johnny Sexton being presented to the crowd before the game so make sure you’re in your seat good and early. Women’s interprovincial winners with a lap of honour during half time. Gerry Thornely was at the open training session in Kilkenny on Monday. Based on what he saw there this is the Leinster s...

Bookies now have it at 12 points and 1/8 on. It will be interesting to see how this changes once the teams are announced. It's changed since Monday when I think we were 1/6 on and the spread was 8pts. So just the talk of the two teams is having an effect. Once the teams are announced and if they ar...

Edit: wrong thread - posting to Whiff of Cordite

Now Jordan, forget your last outing. Any ball that comes to you, just head for the cavalry, beat ONE player and off-load early and stay in support. Simples, no miracle needed.

Was Larmour reading this thread?!

Yeah I don't see an issue with rugby referees profile and I'm not sure if the comparison to other sports is really true - because we're rugby fans we see and know a lot more about rugby referees. GAA referees such as David Gough, David Coldrick and would be household names in many Irish households, ...

It's hardly just the media anointing Crowley. It's fairly clear that he's in pole position for the 10 shirt in Farrell's mind too

It looks a bit strange to have Goals Missed rather than Goals Scored.
I would think you'd usually have Attempted Kicks & Successful Kicks or Attempted Kicks & Successful Kicks & Missed Kicks

Ross Byrne standing at the front of the defensive lineout too

Was there no space for him in the Ulster academy?

I think Joe and Paddy are the seventh set of brothers to play for Leinster in the pro era (I can’t find very comprehensive info on squads from 1995-2000). They wouldn’t have all played in the same 22s/23s (Berne brothers), but the majority of others would i think. I have: Berne- Michael & Shaun...

The fact that Jäger is only coming “home” now after his attempts to become an AB failed leaves a bitter taste imo. Like we’re his second option. I know people will argue the same could be said of Aki,Lowe,JGP,Kleyn etc who all dreamt of being an AB or Bok before “settling” to be an Irish internatio...

John O'Sullivan in the IT had an article earlier saying Leinster was the likely destination for Jager. He has since changed the article to "Munster win the race to sign Irish-qualified Crusaders prop Oli Jager"

Murray Kinsella and Gavan Casey discussing it on Rugby Rugby Weekly Extra too.
Fair enough when there's an injury crisis in a position (though Leinster tend to manage) but panicking due to one injury in a position is just bad planning.

Neil Treacy, on RTÉ's Rugby Podcast, posed the question if Munster might look for a medical joker at outhalf due to Carbery's injury :roll: It was shot down by Birch but a ridiculous suggestion with just 1 injury (to an injury-prone player) in a position. He also said Jamie Osborne is 17 stone (108k...

Frank Murphy is a Munster ref he should not be doing Irish derbies. Snyman like many SA players sit out injured during club season. Toulon had to learn the hard way about these tactics. Before snyman joined Munster he was out injured between WCs and now going into a 3rd WC cycle injured. The guy ha...

Looked from where we were sitting In Grandstand, that the top of the goalposts at Anglesea road end were wider than the crossbar. Had a look after game and the posts certainly weren’t parallel. Saw a photo on Twitter. Very clear Was that Rebecca’s photo and if so did you see the follow up from the ...

It never ceases to amaze me how much time and effort people who claim to not care about the Lions expend on telling people how they don't care about the Lions in threads about the Lions, who, and let me again remind you in case you might mistakenly think they care about, they don't care about. Take...
