Wonderful to see 3 Leinster players as the main photo in this general round-up article

After seeing Ulster slip up against Treviso I was convinced I had jinxed Munster by saying that they would finish the weekend in the top 8. Thankfully Connacht and Scarlets did Munster a massive favour. There is still a lot of rugby to be played, but Munster are getting a lot closer to ensuring HC ...

Leinster should sign Healy on one of those injury cover deals for the craic.

And much more worrying - "They have haven't gone away, you know" Just a guess, but the shinners are a very wealthy political party and it's fair bet they've infiltrated the state apparatus and even other political parties. If I read the forum rules correctly this thread could have done wi...

I agree with you to a point Dave, but surly as a professional team Munster are obliged to see the way the land lies earlier and put these boys to bed. I'm sure Munster will make all the right noises about how a win is a good result but f%~k me....... ....maybe it's a sign of how low their bar is no...

Expect the usual suspects/ rugby journalists to pick this up and run with it.

Unusual for a coach to throw a player under the bus....

"an unfortunate error from Joey Carbery, and next thing we’re defending a maul on the five-metre line. We’ve got to be better in those aspects."

That doesn't sound good, hope he's okay .

Another great win for Munster, and one on the road which is brilliant. Munster need to secure wins, but it is the BPs that will allow them to really push for a top 8 spot. Given Munster’s lack of tries from the first few matches, it is great to see back to back TBP wins against 2 teams that were ah...

Savage win.

Munster are 2 points off 8th with 10 games to go. With Welsh and Scottish (& Italian) teams ahead of them it doesn't matter whether they pass the top team in each Shield. Home matches and good seeding are getting harder, but they should breeze into the knockouts and HC with a modest run of game...

Fixed

38 quid isn't bad for the two top teams going at each other. Much cheaper than a ST for those who pick and choose only a few matches to go to.

As for his comments about the English job? Who knows? Or maybe he doesn't know where his 'Off' switch is and when he should use it - that is stupidity. It's always some of both. ROG is a mind games fella, it's deliberate. Outside of his coaching media duties ROG is an active and long standing writt...

First glimpse of the new man - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH9xoSgAPKU On RDS: 'We're really working hard on hopefully having something positive to announce in early 2023' I'm super excited about Shane working super hard in his new role. He seems super excited and super enthusiastic about about...

Have Viaplay taken over from Premier Sports or wha?

Munster could be without Frisch for a while as he is due a scan on a thigh injury sustained against SA. This is a big blow imo, as he looked like he was just the player Munster needed to progress this season. Hope he recovers soon. Surely Munster will just buy another player. As usual. Maybe a &quo...

Did we ever hear the logic of the Patterson/ McCarthy swap? I recall some surprise at the time as it didn't seem to make a lot of sense for Leinster.
