Re: 6 Nations 2024
I have to say I was expecting this to be a tougher tournament for Ireland - 3 potentially tough games to go, but you have to say Ireland look a cut above so far. Farrell seems to be a phenomenal coach, in fact the whole ticket just seem to be absolutely on it. It seems like whatever Irish team gets ...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.
Interesting that on return to URC action, Dan Soper was rolled out for the press. In fact it’s been very noticeable recently that McFarland has increasingly been off the radar in comms, and Soper has been doing more and more - in the past McFarland has been squarely front and centre. And it’s been e...

Re: Contract Situation
I think the more worrying part of the report is that we are doing this as part of a cost cutting exercise. That means there will be no big money NIQ replacement. Or I think any replacement at all. If the Leinster players were moving they would go to Munster, just like carberry, though that was a lu...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.
McCall leaving Sarries and turning down probably a host of quality job offers to come to Ulster, would be a akin to him leaving a high-end 6-figure job in London/New York to go work as a Level 4 Civil Servant job on 30k a year at County Hall in Ballymena. Not. A. Chance. People trading 6 figure job...

Re: Contract Situation
Well let’s see, Jackman does get transfer rumours wrong a fair bit. I’m a fan of Billy, but this could only happen in the context of an IRFU-orchestrated shuffle you’d imagine, in order to get the front-line tens from an international pov getting regular starts at the provinces

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.
I think the Italian union shot themselves in the foot by announcing that his contract wouldn’t be renewed before the World Cup, which was absolutely crazy imo. Immediately turned him into a lame duck and robbed him of authority, while injecting uncertainty and instability into the camp as they heade...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.
Frustrating thing is that after the last 2 years of chaos in the premiership, the Irish provincial sides are looking like pretty plum coaching jobs - good squads, decently funded and stable due to the union backing. The downsides are union heavy-handedness in international player selection managemen...

Re: PADDY JACKSON
A waste of time posting all that because it will never happen. He's 32 so he's probably looking one more contract. He'll have a tidy little nest egg for himself. Retiring in his mid thirties. The haters will burst a blood vessel at that thought. Whatever else about his various moves since he left, ...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.
Love this comments from Munster forum "I always found mcfarland a bit of a spoofer. theres a bit of david brent about him" So true Funny enough I used to really like him, and liked listening to him, I always thought he sounded really grounded and talked sense, but since the implosion last...

Re: Reset button required?
Absolute embarrassment of a performance. We are currently capable of getting occasional decent wins / performances simply through the players muscling it out - because we do have good players, which is the killer - but systematically we are just so woefully off the pace that when we come up against ...

Re: Dan Soper
The standout coaches in the province are Doak and Soper, to those familiar with their work. Miles ahead of the rest. Payne a huge loss technically but by all accounts a narcissist. McFarland poses a huge concern. Observing the Irish setup at the end of last season, Farrell has fostered a positive c...
