Wasn't able to access the website via my laptop (unsafe apparently), but you can find the weekly rugby on the box guide on uafc, munsterfans and connachtclan.

Should be fixed on the laptop now?

It’s a weird feeling to win the Six Nations but play so poorly. Maybe it’ll look different on rewatch Scotland’s defence was outstanding, but some of our decisions to kick for the corner were poor. We could have kicked a handy 9 points in that second half and been out of sight. Instead we were dang...

I watched England Vs Ireland in 2020 at Mulligan's, just before the pandemic.

I can cope with that. I have my own coping stone. And a bishop's cope. I've even listened to Julian cope But which of these meanings was paddy using here? https://www.leinsterfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=817311#p817311 Well IIRC I thought Glaws were awful and were making excuses for why they got ...

Of course they do but more often than not they're right.

Hence the phrase "there's no such a thing as a poor bookie"!!

Funnily enough I know who when went bust when literally every favourite won one day. Put him out of business.

His odds setting was particularly poor then.

At least a few years back even the BBC had the results and tables for AIL. Since then they've gutted their rugby coverage, but they had it at one point.

The strategy of kicking the ball to relieve territorial pressure was correct.

The tactical choice of the method, of box kicking, to implement the strategy was not.

The execution of the tactic was awful.

Surely if the winger gets in the scrum half way at the breakdown, then it's the wingers fault? If JGP did not come off his wing and get involved in play our attacking threat would have been much reduced and he would not have made Lowe’s second try. Getting invoved in play is one thing - getting bet...

Oh no, Munster and the inevitable consequences of their actions.

6:2, aPOMymous and Crowley's poor passing on the breaks cost us the game I wouldn't blame Crowley tbh, our forwards didn't front up well enough simple as, they picked a huge second row and 6 combo and we couldn't win the contacts. We should have switched our kicking game to competing rather than ki...

They were poor, but consistently poor and England worked with it while we didn't

6:2, aPOMymous and Crowley's poor passing on the breaks cost us the game

How many times has Crowley caused us to knock on a clean break by firing his pass like a cannon

I'd laugh out loud but don't want to tempt the mocker gods for later.

I will have a chuckle to myself though.

Ring O bells is a good pub near the stadium

The Hideout is a great little whisky bar.

What's ASMR? I'll tell you if you tell me what "cope" is. :lol: Cope means you're coping. Meant to indicate that you can't handle an adversity someone else is putting on you, so you "cope and seethe" Copium is when you're huffing your own fumes pretending that things aren't as b...

Does he have less of a chip on his shoulder than Filthy Frank?

Still don’t understand what happened with our disallowed try. 1) Clarkson gets over the line with the ball and Adamson signals for a try. 2) Adamson decides to go to the TMO for confirmation and states that his on-field decision is try. 3) Could be my eyesight but my memory is that none of the repl...

There's a great story about Geogho in Lawrence Dallaglio's book "Blood, Sweat and Beers" that involves a train journey from Bath to London, a fruit scone and some Millwall football fans, not a bad read all round... although the Stephen Jones story made me want to vomit, such is the measur...
