Re: New Performance Director - a bloke we all know

I would be worried that Nucifora is going to be biased in favour of Edinburgh over Glasgow. He has form.

Re: Ireland 7s

I think the 7s programme is mainly state funded being aimed at the Olympics. The players are on money that's a long way short of what the 15s players would earn. Keenan was an unusual cross over. Now that rugby fans like myself have seen it in action there may well be more interest. I can't see the ...

Re: Ireland 7s

Dupont was simply sensational in the final.
The Messi and Ronaldo comparisons may be overdone but he is an incredible player.

Re: Ireland 7s

They beat USA 17 14 so last match is v NZ for 5th place.

Ireland on just now in the Olympics v Japan in the 7s. Full house in Stade de France.

Re: Summer tour to SA 2024

I hated this series but the second test win was special. Great finish.

Re: Summer tour to SA 2024

Sheehan has done his ACL so that's next season gone for him.
I hate this tour. Absolutely pointless. Let's just get the second test over and get the lads on holiday. A 13 month season is just stupid.

Re: 20s World Championship in South Africa 2024

That was some comeback from Ireland. I had given up on them.
Georgia had tremendous front row forwards.
Fortune favours the brave.

Re: URC 2022/23 - Other Sides

A lot of the points being made here are valid. The general feeling in Leinste is that we have to go primarily for the Champions Cup and you can understand that if you keep losing finals. The Irish management would be best advised to rest the Leinster contingent for the tour of SA and let them recove...

Re: URC 2022/23 - Other Sides

The Leinster players should not go on the Tour to South Africa. They have been going since last summer and look knackered. It would be good to give the other provinces' players decent exposure on the tour. I would make an exception for Ringrose as he has not had game time. Next season Leinster shoul...

Re: Other Champions / Challenge Cup

I expected to lose but we came close at times.
Telly never showed why the Lowe try was disallowed. Carley is no Leinster fan.
Just have to win the URC and go again next year.

Re: Other Champions / Challenge Cup

You expect Munster fans to support any opposition to Leinster.
They hate us even though we would back them playing in such a final.
Ulster and Connacht fans are fairer.

I have to say I am nervous and fear the worst. Toulouse are star studded in every way.

Re: 6 Nations 2024

Peter O'Mahony has reached the end of the road.
Likewise Murray.
Time for Ryan Baird to start.
Short of a mathematical miracle we are still on course to win the 6N.
