Not really. Why would anyone big want to come and play us?

Leinster play Munster at the Aviva as they mostly fill it - and easily beat the RDS capacity.
RDS wasn't full a couple of months back when we played in D4.

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.

Gilroy was inferring the squad needed to be more “player lead” and a more relaxed atmosphere…..well they’ve now got the chance to put their money where their mouth is. When the players show signs of having a few brain cells on the pitch instead of repeatedly losing games from strong positions or no...

Re: Stormers v Ulster Saturday June 11 2pm UK Time Premier Sports / RTE / URC TV / Super Sport

Andrew is a more than capable hooker, certainly good enough to play 20 minutes off the bench. The reluctance to use Reidy at all this season is a head scratcher, he has always been super and brings energy. Agree on these two. Jordi Murphy has been given next to no game time since his return to fitn...

Re: Are we allowed to talk about KINGSPAN

Just shows the usual.

1. Companies cannot be trusted to certify their own products.
2. Until executives start to do jail time for this kind of sht, it'll keep happening.

Re: Leinster v Ulster Saturday Nov 27th 8pm KO

For me the negatives were: Carter's lack of carrying prowess; Carter's lack of carrying prowess and our lack of lethality in the red zone are still not acceptable. Carter always looks surprised when someone passes the ball to him. He's worse than that. A few line shoots do not make up for his crap ...

Re: Ulster v Emirates Lions Friday October 15th 7:35pm KO

The whole point I was making is that if a penalty occurs between the 10 metres line the team being awarded the advantage has basically no advantage at all in the area of the field so why play advantage Of course, having advantage doesn't allow them to go for a risky cross-kick or a chip over the mi...

Coming in to say exactly the same.

Timoney was the best player on the pitch, but man of the match was Mike Adamson. Hats off sir, well refereed.

Ah, can't blame the fella to be honest. If I were in his boots, I'd likely do the same. All the die-hards who'd have you believe they would continue* to play for a team halfway across the world when the rest of their family wants you home need to cop on. *with offers on the table from employers clos...

Re: Coronavirus 2020 - What can I do?

Its estimated that the UK might have an exposure of 0.25% so far. Who estimates that? 0.25% of 67 million is 167,500 CONFIRMED, POSITIVE UK TESTS, 247,000... That's only tests done in hospitals. They don't even bother to test most care home suspected cases. Death rate is estimated to be around 1% g...

Re: Coronavirus 2020 - What can I do?

Probably comparable in population distribution (and certainly in death rate) to the island of Ireland. I was supposed to be in Sweden round about now as it happens. Swedish population density: 23 people/km2 ROI population density: 70 people/km2 Stockholm population density: 8,685 people/km2 Dublin ...

99.7 % chance of survival if you catch this dam lurgy, a lot of big girls fannies out there, let’s isolate the vulnerable not the fecking healthy. Well except that Cnut HWM, isolate him for life . Probably a bit less that 99.7% but I largely agree with that. Shield the vulnerable, practice hygiene ...

Re: Coronavirus 2020 - What can I do?

Chances are a vaccine will provide immunity for a finite length of time. Then you'll need a booster. Idea may be like Smallpox, roll out a vaccine worldwide and wipe the fecker out. Is that your medical opinion ? SARS 2003: Still no vaccine. MERS 2012: Still no vaccine. Herd immunity is the way out...
