Re: Munster 17/18

Brilliant match. What a win for Munster against a top team packed with international players from many countries. I still don't get the regulations of this tournament when a French team seem to be able to select anyone they like, but Irish teams are limited to two overseas players. Justice done - bo...

Re: Lionels: reasons to dislike them

Tell you what. I try to judge as I find. Out in Spain I run into quite a few Lionels. You might sit beside a stranger in a bar or cafe and have a bit of a chat. Never ceases to amaze me how many of them feel that it is perfectly acceptable to be openly racist. Not all of them by a long shot, but co...

Re: Lionels: reasons to dislike them

England may have had a few pillocks on the current and past teams, but I have to say that the vast majority of English supporters that I came across at international games were decent types, fair minded and good sports ( I have not been to a live one for a few years mind.) I'd say the same about the...

Re: Six Nations 17/18

Awk Itojie was a bit tired yesterday apparently according to Woodward. Anyone who claims to know anything about rugby and doesn't have Murray at 9 needs their head felt. Charlatan.

Re: Six Nations 17/18

I thought Ringrose was impressive on Saturday. Credit where due. What sticks in the craw is BOD still harping on about a Stockdale error weeks later whilst turning a blind eye to anything Ringrose does wrong.

Re: Six Nations 17/18

The unfortunate thing about Saturday was the performance of Carberry when he came on as Sub . what disappointed me was the fact that he kept taking dead end options .He would look for a gap and then find himself in the position that his only option was to go for it when it no longer existed , a kic...

Hendo will be chomping at the bit and will come on to wreak havoc against a tiring Scottish pack, and for a bit of a gallop before the England game. Not a bad move by Joe.

Re: Team for the Defeat at Scaaaaaaaaaaalets

I've never been Big Stu's greatest fan, but yes he is better than many here will allow. Indeed in the early games, he was again showing that he can offload and do so well. He has scored 6 tries & has offloaded 20 times plus a good deal of other decent stats. Before this season he had only score...

There are those who want to see Keatley on the Ireland 23. He had a howler (along with several of his teammates).

Re: Ryan Caldwell

Feeling pretty miserable now guys. I'm a one forename only bloke.Always felt short changed at my swanky school. These days it would probably count as abusive negligence by my parents. Sorry, too emotionally distraught to go on. Yes. I feel the same. And of course, in my playing days felt distinctly...

Re: Ruan Pienaar breaks the spirit of the game

Mixed feelings on this one. Ruan was smart to take advantage of the laws of the game, but I am a little saddened to see a man with his class behaving like this, and he is now just a tad diminished in my mind as a sportsman. Pity. Wish I hadn't seen it.

Re: Wasps Vs Ulster Sun 21/01/18 BT Sport

Nearly freezed ourselves to death at that soulless hell pit today. For what. We didn't even play any rugby. No possession. No territory. Completely done over at the breakdown (men against boys in that department). Mistakes, penalties again and again, ffs clueless in all aspects. Listened to their (...

Why would he remotely consider coming here to play for a totally dross team of losers when he's already at one of the top two or three clubs in Europe?
