Oh the Jones one is not pleasant and so very misogynistic lads, I've just gone to see Dune 2 with the young fella, and I'll probably have to wait about two or three years for Dune Messiah. Please don't make me wait that long for the Stephen Jones being a dick story Film was epic and I've read the b...

The story goes Geogho and another London based Bath player were getting the train back home. They decided to have some world earned tea and fruit scones. Some hammered 20 stone skinhead decided to grab Geogho's scone and he proceeded to tell yer man in no uncertain terms loud enough for him to hear...

Billy Walsh maintained his position as one of the most successful and winning boxing coaches in the world after he was turfed out. EOS never got another big job and now splits his time being a fairly mediocre media talking head and having strange semi conspiracy theory views. Those two are not the ...

SA undoubtedly the best, they went through France, England, and NZ to win it. We might have beat them but NZ beat us out of the gate. I think they're incredibly disrespected as team for some reason, man for man they have some of the best players in the world playing their role to an incredibly high...

He is also a pr!*k

The Scottish RFU tried to approach London Scottish with a view to having another pro team, the English RFU were quite firm in their rebuttal and that was to play in the English leagues, would you want Wasps playing home games in Athy but in the English Premiership? Is that the proposal? A 28k seate...

One guy on MF mentioned the 11 tackles That guy was a Leinster fan who hangs out there for an extra place to talk about rugby online. oldschoolsocks? he seems to be mostly defending our corner and players on there. not sure why. there's a very vocal minority on there that have serious chips on the ...

I'm not talking about his quality as a winger. He's an exceptional winger. I'm talking about one single quality - his speed. Not his composure, not his strength, not his skill under the high ball or indeed - anything else. The Wales player kicks the ball at 61.40 and Lowe is running back Ith a colo...

I agree with 433 on this. One example that comes to mind was around the 61st minute of the match. Lowe was fairly ponderous getting back, which put us under pressure. https://youtu.be/HUHGqRWEMHI?si=7yPNX-i1mhssxFwl What a weird example. Lowe did excellently in that instance. Gathered under pressur...

He's absolutely incredible. A proper dominant lock the likes of which I don't think we've ever produced.

Surely your not forgetting about one Neil Francis?

Dan McFarland was a good Ulster Coach who elevated the player and fan's expectations for success. However, his shortcoming was his inability to get his good players to produce their best performances on the big days. He lacked really good captains and leaders on the field and he himself seemed unab...

Thanks.
Isaac Boss was hardly an Ulsterman, in fairness.

true, he is a bloody ledge though and therefore is never the wrong answer...

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? ...

While I agree that McFarland is a dead man walking, basing an article on what fans are saying on twitter (even reasonable ones like one of those quoted) is hardly the basis for, well, anything. You could write an article on why Farrell must go based on tweets if you were so inclined. Yep bang on. Y...

Rumours out of Munster that Kilcoyne's 6 month shoulder injury will see him retired. Yeah but they'd say that if he didn't have a contract offer and as long as he wasn't about to hit the road. Last year Milne played every URC game after Christmas (11) starting 8 of them and played both Investec Cup...

The Intellectual type Hmmmmm… so what’s intellectual about property? The property referred to is property of the mind. The most valuable kind. Have an auld read of what the chap wrote before I asked the question, your perception of the value of this intellect may change. Just a lil’ bit…

He could quickly be 1st choice for Munster, which wont happen here. Family have strong ties to Munster too. He's from Birr but his father was Roscrea and you will see more Munster jerseys in that club than Leinster. There always something, always. Even with Salanoa, Limerick was closer in size to h...
