Re: 6 Nations 2024
Of the three second rows last week Henderson was the one or sorted out the line out but did get blown twice -- once from a weak pass from Murray and the second was a 'homer" decision. In my Opinion Henderson fails the age test will he be there at the next world cup -- I wouldn't bet on it . Wil...

Re: 6 Nations 2024
The first English try was down to Lowe his clearance kick was to predictable and his failure to find touch allowed England to instigate a preplan play -- a run across the field to wards the retreating English backline focusing on the far side of the pitch a pass to a player who with two players outs...

Re: Contract Situation
Yes players can go beyond 30 but they need to go injury free . Being injury free is harder for backs and most backs start to lose pace at 30 and thus not the players they were and the professional game gets harder . There is the added factor of marriage as you get older and the need to think long te...

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie
It could well be a loan made on the possible donation to rugby which could be due after sums have been donated to GAA and Football in respect of Stadium upgrade. Ie if a donation is made to Rugby the loan gets repaid. now the question is it interest free or not . repayment to Dublin being capital + ...

Re: Contract Situation
Re McCloskey he is 31 or thereabouts which means realistic 2 years playing provided he is injury free. Two years to maximise his income - the IRFU can’t invest money in a two year player whose best years may be behind him and injuries in front of him . The decisions on contracts are made in Dublin w...

Re: The skipper
He could make a very good Capt but only as a member of a leadership group Eg early in the match against the dragons Ulster had an easy penalty in front of the post but went for the corner . Not a bad idea against the dragons maybe but The opportunity would have given Ulster a two score lead without ...

Re: Team for Dragoons
Now I'm not quite as pessimistic as some here . In my opinion Ulster may note may have the beginnings of a decent back row in one -two years There is also a possible second row again in one to two years and the backline is still young . The problem with the second row may be that it may be light wei...

Re: Liverpool FC
Unfortunately while the tactics in both games may be same the means of achieving and implementing them are totally different in 15- a-side although. he, Klopp might make a good coach at 7s.

Re: Team for Dragoons
For me this looks to much like a Dan selection to be honest Hume as Capt his showing last time out was a failure the decision making ,was questionable, at best. There is also a problem identifying who is the pack leader . When Ireland had an out side centre as Captain ( BoD) ,PoC was the pack leader...

Re: 2024 U20's
Ward was a ball carrier at Inst but sometimes outran his support at school level that is not the worst crime in the book but in the professional game its a potential penalty every time. If you become unaware of your support a tackler in front of you there is normally lots of space behind him--- kick...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.
I admire Dan if it is true he bit the bullet before being fired — it is only about 2 bad results away from the boo boys and abuse during the game and that’s the last thing the players need . To some extent he suffered from staying to long and a failure in player development and backing some players ...
