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

Re: RSA Tour squad
Re: Fitzgerald, I can't help thinking he was a 'could have' rather than a 'did it' type of player.
The '09 Lions version was probably the best he got to be - downhill since Burger took a shine to his eyes at the start of the second test. On the pitch, he was one you always hoped would do something special, but were never surprised when he made a bieber of himself. He was also the walking, talking embodiment of why most of us don't like Leinster (don't know why, just my opinion!)
Pity he never really got a clear couple of seasons to show whether he was or was not as good as he thought he was.
It is interesting why some players are just always getting injured. Surely it is genetic rather than luck - luck evens out and you can't say someone like Luke F pushed it any harder than, for example, GLU?
Hopefully he enjoys retirement without cluttering up our screens with more D4 BS - we have enough of that from BOD and lickspittle Horgan (although i did see him doing the U20's, so not hopeful

Re: RSA Tour squad
Sorry to hear about Luke-Ma's enforced retirement. I hate to see any you'g player's career end like that. But for Leo Cullen to call him one of Ireland's greatest wings is just plain stupid. There is a long, long list of wings I'd place before him, simply based on their demonstrated ability to score tries.
EDIT:
Fitz 34 caps 4 tries Strike rate 1:8.5
Bowe 67 30 1:2.2
Earls 52 17 1:3.1
Trimble 66 17 1:3.3
Shaggy 65 21 1:3.1
Hickey 62 29 1:2.1
pluse many othr wings from the past like Crossan, Geoghegan, Grace, Duggan, etc.....

Re: RSA Tour squad
Remember Cullen is D4 and Fitzgerald is D4 in quotes few bigger

No shame. Could have at least worn a moon boot in Florida or something then put it on instie. With a caption like: I'm the best fullback in the world but I'm injured...hastag prayforrab.Russ wrote:So Bobbo Kearney is not injured and has taken full part in all of Leinsters preseason
He was too embarrassed to go to SA. Joe out.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?
