Re: Hooker options going forward
What’s your opinion on this mildly? Not so long ago you laughed at the idea of anyone except John Smit converting from Hooker to Tighthead...mildlyinterested wrote: ↑October 30th, 2020, 3:49 pm interesting to hear Bernard Jackman mention on the 42 podcast, that he heard that Leinster might converting Bobby Sheehan to tighthead prop.

Re: Donald Trump - Have your say.
Getting less confident of Biden winning an electoral college majority. Civil unrest, BLM and the 'terrorist organisation' Antifa are not helping the Dems. Of course if the police were policing the looters rather than the protesters, it would be a different story. I'd be more worried with the Suprem...

Re: Heineken Cup 2020/21
Bubbling - the placing of people or groups of people into bubbles. For the auld Covid. The different competitions the teams play in have differing numbers of 'external' players allowed in squads and it wouldn't be practical or covid-safe to have players moving in and out of squads as the competitio...

Re: France vs Ireland, 31 Oct - 8pm
Given the grunt imperative, Farrell may actually start with Roux as I would be very worried about a Porter/Beirne scrummaging combo vs that French pack. Beirne could then add a little mobility off the bench later once the physicality markers have been laid down. Franno mightn't like it, but it woul...

Re: Andy Farell's Reign of Terror
Whatever about project players and residency qualifications - whether it's 3 or 5 years - anybody from outside Ireland with an Irish parent or just one grandparent is fully entitled to Irish citizenship and represent the country in whatever sport. Hell, was reading in Sunday Times magazine a couple...

Re: France vs Ireland, 31 Oct - 8pm
And le Roux got off apparently. Bit surprising to me. Maybe the panel decided that AWJ was reallyz reallyz really, asking for it. Which he totally was to be fair. But it's not something they usually take into account. Baffling decision if compared with the suspension of SOB for his tap on the tummy...

Re: Leinster Squad 20-21
Last time we sent two lads down to Connacht they didn’t find their way back to us. We wanted both back and both went on to become full international’s. Which two lads? The only two players I can remember sending to Connacht on loan were John Cooney and Tom Daly. We never asked for the latter back, ...

Re: Andy Farell's Reign of Terror
Objectively it was a systems error. POM is a lot of things but he's not as bad as I would like him to be. He's designated as Irelands player to recover the ball in that quadrant but he needs a pod around him to make that happen. Its a system failure and not a POM one. Plus, as alluded to above, the...

Re: Andy Farell's Reign of Terror
the root cause of that try at the death was that dropped restart - typical from POM - one or two moments of excitement and then nada or in this case a fuppup Ah come on, he was barely on the pitch and managed to set up two tries. The funny thing with that moment of error was that he jumped as if he...

Re: Ireland V Italy 24th October
If Rob Kearney is a bread and butter player, Stockdale is the complete opposite. You get anything but bread and butter. If France do kick to him they run the risk of him punishing them. I would stick with him. Realistically we need 4 tries so its better to score 4 tries to 3 than 1 try to 0. One ot...

Re: Andy Farell's Reign of Terror
On a different topic. POMs one highlight reel item being adored by the press will ensure his continued presence in the squad. While it was a great piece of play, the attention is all on that play, and the intercept from Sexton. Not nearly enough on the debutants who to a man played above expectatio...
