Re: In defence of Dave Kearney and Fergus McFadden
I'd say I wasn't alone in the great days of 2018 thinking that with the arrival of JLo and the emergence of Larmour it was the end of the road for DK and the like. He was yesterdays man, time to head west. But he recovered from his injuries and in 2018-19 scored 6 tries, followed by 12 the next seas...

Re: URC 22/23
Stormers have already shifted 35,000 tickets for the Connacht game, (which they had not expected to play at home), 5 days after having 45,000 in the the same stadium. Getting tired of watching their team win the Stormers fans are not. Tickets start at €3.80, and the most expensive ones are <€19. E1...

Re: Grahamunster - Graham Rowntree's Munster 2022/2023
Massive credit to Munster, their away form has been pretty spectacular in recent weeks. They were all high pressure games too against quality opposition, which makes it more impressive. It'll be interesting to see how they get on this weekend. Blow smoke up their arse? Great idea Keith, they love t...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
I never played pro rugby, well it wasn't invented in my day, and the height of my career was 3rdB. I have been a fan of the game for over 50 yrs and in my opinion Coughlan is one of the best experts on TV. She is particularly good when co-commentating a match when her insight is usually very shrewd...

Re: URC 22/23
Grafting on a quarter-final stage to a league is one step too f*cking far. Really don't like it. There was a lot of criticism of the European Cup schedule for taking four rounds of pool games to eliminate eight teams out of twenty-four. The URC has taken eighteen rounds of games to eliminate eight ...

Re: Ulster v Connacht, Fri 5th May, URC QF
Would any of the Ulster Squad improve the Leinster Team? Would any of the Ulster Squad improve the Leinster Match Day Squad? I would suggest not. But a number of those players make Irish match day squads and a number of them have made significant contributions to our success over the last 12 months...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
Hayes is all right, full of enthusiasm. Rugby is lucky in this country in the amount of coverage that it gets. Other sports would kill for the this level of exposure in the papers, telly, podcasts etc. For a minor sport in Ireland, it packs a punch in the media. I've heard UK podcasters on a number ...

Re: Ulster v Connacht, Fri 5th May, URC QF
Demographic Dan gave Ulster an excuse to underperform and not turn up in big games. They're just embracing that excuse. I've heard too many rants from him about it being somebody else's fault...that's never a good sign. Demographic Dan :lol: Very good. Desperate Dan is closer to the truth now thoug...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
It is sad to some clubs going to the wall but the rugby calendar is full of games that make no money and don't interest the wider public. I don't know how rugby solves this issue but more cross hemisphere travel shouldn't be the solution. Flying regularly to the UK, Italy and once a year to SA to p...

Re: Quarter Final vs Sharks, Sat 6th May 17:00 (RTE 2)
Nearly forgot to say it, but the halftime games were great entertainment.
The adult-minis (not sure of the politically correct term here) was played in front of a very engaged audience who cheered very loudly when a break or tackle was made, great stuff.
