That's a good point Jackie, I wonder how many Irish games have been on Sky so far.

Bar the Munster game that's on right now, I can't immediately think of any others.

Munster game on now is on BT. Last week it was on Sky. But that was 1 from 6 in rounds 3 and 4.

Well they don't need to show any Leinster games, they seem to be the only team Sky covers in the Pro12

Like Molly Malone "Leinstertainment" is wheeling her wheelbarrow. Far from the team they once were. All three main provinces are very much in transition. At least Munster still have "passshun"!
Munster have been in transition since 2008

Except now they don't have Cheika or Schmidt to paper over the cracks. We are all in transition btw.

I am told the cash distribution has changed, but the competition and the same teams in it, looks just fine and dandy to me.
Exactly my issue. You expressed no "opinion" - when asked for your views you responded by posting the latest piece of PRL propaganda.

As for your comment about the Isle of Man, you'd be better watching for challenges in the direction on the Channel Isles. But then, maybe that doesn't fit with your prejudices.

As for "fine and dandy" I can only point you in the direction of the nearest mental health practitioner. :thumleft:

It quite simply "sucks" compared to the "not fit for purpose ERC competition" which incidentally was the best Rugby competition in the world. But I guess if you can't win it destroy it is the English way. Thing is, all you had to do was wait. Cycles are cyclical. All Irish provinces are now in transition and focussed on RWC.

I have mentioned this before and no one seemed to notice, bet you could count the number of AP supporters on the thumb of one hand who watched that match today

OaK you need to understand that the old ERC has gone, no amount of bitterness is going to bring it back, watching the games so far( on BT as I won't pay that Australian media pirate any more of my hard earned)I have enjoyed all the games, each having their own merits and whether we win or lose in the next rounds I have enjoyed my team being in this fine competition. Now the clubs/franchises have to qualify(Glasgow are good enough not to need an auto place) there's only one easy pool for the Sinners this year. Better all round from this position, sure the money makes a difference, but to win something, you usually have to beat the best.

Unfair Russ, some of the English don't give a feck either

Are you really telling me that Ulster rugby takes the field and doesn't care about the result, do really believe that?

It's the Ulster Way. :D
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
