Re: A whiff of Cordite
Geoghan was indeed a luminous, alacritous beacon of hope. Plus Geoghegan's name was difficult to spell :wink: It still is! It has about four superfluous letters. Phonetically spelling it would probably get me banned. If we are pulling posters up on misspelling names, it will be a long battle though...

I guess we'll have to make do with just the four experienced top quality backrows to choose from then while our other four experienced top quality backrows stay with Ireland.
Such is life!

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
Our Lock options are truly in good health at the moment. 11 tackles from Ryan in the short time he was on the pitch is some return when you consider the highest was Doris with 19. Some of our provincial cousins are talking about JRs form dropping off a cliff. Shows what they know. There just lining...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
Nah it's really not. Lowe isn't even at 3/4 pace in that clip and Dyer is going full tilt. It's also far easier for the guy going forward to go full tilt, Lowe has to focus on gathering the ball, Dyer doesn't. That's the whole point of why a kick in behind is dangerous. When you say he 'gets caught...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
As BR8 says TOT should be rightly cheesed off; from what I've seen he's much better than OJ. He's been good in the tight, and has demonstrated (in tests) good speed, and hands, and decision making. Lets see how Ollie goes - good luck to him. Are we going to call him OJ? "Major Dad" for me...

Jager is an interesting call.
Poor Finlay.
Great to see Church getting another cap hopefully.

Re: Saracens vs Leinster, 23rd of Feb
Would people watch this over the u20s 6 Nations game? Mightn't be a popular opinion but I'd be more interested in seeing how that Leinster backline gets on than the u20s. Plus it will be easy to get a full match stream for the u20s on Saturday or Sunday The U20s are on terrestial TV. So, what I wou...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
I don't get why we'd go 6-2 on the bench. Removes the need to give a difficult message to one of Baird, Ryan or Conan though. Why would they need a difficult message? They've hardly dragged their feet when they've been given an opportunity to play. Have you ever been dropped? (from a team that is) ...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb
I can't understand how Stockdale remains in camp.I suppose it's a real lack of options. Earls and Conway have retired. Hansen and Jimmy O'Brien are injured. Three of those four were in the RWC23 squad, and the exception [Conway] was a Farrell regular before the knee injury that ended his career. We...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
To play devil's advocate, are we happy to keep guys in the squad who are happy to be third and fourth fiddle despite being good enough to be lead violin? Is that lack of personal and professional ambition a good thing? Is someone willing to play that role not someone we should really be moving on? ...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
Leinster's URC level is usually higher than most teams Investec Cup level. Players don't need to move to play a higher level of rugby, they're already there. The pundits who complain about the strength of our squad are pretty much admitting the same thing in a different way. Leinster just played a ...

Re: Ulster 2023/24
Flannels and his team showed a total lack of awareness of what was required to close out a win.
Twice not once the high risk option was chosen when the the low risk option was likely to achieve a good result.

Ditching Kingspan is one their less smart ideas.

It's that origin thing the URC are running this weekend I think - players allowed to wear their club socks etc. Obviously that's the club Rhys chose to nominate.

Re: 6 Nations 2024
Paddy Power has us at 1/6 to win 6N's but interestingly they have us at 22 point favourites to beat Wales. That's huge. I think we'll do a number on Wales. I think that this is one of the worst Welsh teams I have seen in a long, long time – twenty years or so. I've been shocked that they have been ...

Re: 6 Nations 2024
I'm exceptionally wary of Wales. Gatland, who is, let us not forget, the most experienced and successful coach in the competition, has taken Wales from where they were 12 months ago - an utter shambles that makes Ulster look like the All Blacks run by Tim Cook - to being competitive (P2 L2, but wit...

If I was giving Faz and Casey one bit of advice.
It's a 15 man game stop trying to win it on your own.
