Re: URC 2022/23 - Other Sides

Leinster 7 point favourites away to Bulls. They need a win, in fact they need to win the tournament, at a canter really, given the financial and other resources at their disposal. Stretching their trophy-less streak to what would it be, 4 years? would be a bit embarrassing by this stage.. You'd hav...

Re: Heineken Cup 2024/25

Why can't they just do the normal pool format again? So much better. I have very little interest in the mess that they've made of this once great competition.

https://x.com/Murray_Kinsella/status/1792919444273947119 Very savvy from Addison here, and a good bit of street smarts that have by and large been missing for a few seasons Any videos of Leinster being offside at every ruck like Saracens of old. Or James Ryan lying on the ball at every opportunity....

Re: Petrie departs…..

Kingspan. The company has long said that its K15 insulation product made up only 5 per cent of the insulation in the tower block, and was used without its recommendation. There is a £150,000,000 redress settlement agreed by the 'guilty' parties. Kingspan's share....less than 3%. Apparently they inf...

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!

Byrne as the replacement for Kitshoff is such an enormous downgrade, we need a better LH to be our starter, not Leinster's 5th choice. Won't happen, too soon for Byrne. Bryn prefers his props to have been mediocre at best in Ireland then spend some time in lower foreign leagues so we all forget how...

In Wilson, Stewart, Sheridan, Izzy, McCann, Doak, Postlethwaite, Hume, Baloucoune, Lowry we have a core of solid youngsters. Just need a great coaching ticket to get the best out of them. Also an out half and a few gnarly, experienced backrowers to get the best out of them I was pleased to see O'Sul...

Re: Ulster's finances

Why would the IRFU change tact though? Selling out Aviva, 2nd in world rankings, winning 6N Irish Rugby is rosy.

The Leinsterfication of Team Ireland is not a good thing in the medium to long term.

Re: Ulster's finances

All getting very communist in here. Get rid of central contracts would be a start. Leinster have 11 of their best players for free. How's that fair? Get rid of them and distribute the money equally between the four. They decide the players to keep. More centralised academy structure. Encourage schoo...
