The UAFC

Was lucky enough to get an invite to a celebration dinner with the winners of 1999 European Cup , great nights craic lots of booze and memories , very enjoyable and slept like a baby in the taxi on way home , taxi driver had to wake the missus up to get me out of cab, very noticeable that no current...

Surprised no one here played with Blair Mayne at school

I was only listening on the radio. Sounded like at every other breakdown we were turned over. The only thing we're consistent at is being rubbish at loose play. Oh, and being awful at lineouts. And then there's passing the ball out along the backs and ending up ten yards behind where we started. De...

We are not good enough at this level , too many very good AIL players , not enough international class , to compete at the highest Champions Cup level you need players with International experience ( either current or former) , Bell is an awful coach and stealing a living , Soper should go back to I...

Poor appointment and delusional if anyone thinks this is a good appointment

Bell never wanted to be a coach , ended up a failed one , should stick to renting out properties

The whole management structure has failed , time for JP to show he is not Logan in disguise, time to lead , like who allowed Bell to get anywhere near the team , average coaches allow the training culture to be poor , no leadership , Jesus they even brought in a Sports Psychologist and can’t get it ...

No disrespect to any player but the young ones are no longer being allowed or given time to develop, McFarland is throwing them in believing that they are ready, they are not , we will struggle in Europe and that hopefully will start the ball rolling that we need a change , it will happen , clock is...

And on the world stage, I'm not liking the idea of this global competition thing: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/66074883 Continuous rugby, 12 months a year can't be good for anybody, least of all the elite players. All they are doing is making the Summer and Autumn tests now a competitive...

Munster getting games against NZ Māori, SA A, crusaders, all the Ireland U20 games … wtf are we getting?? Ireland women’s?? GTF Petrie/Cunningham. Let’s start thinking outside the box here. That occasion at Páirc Uí Chaoimh last autumn was unbelievable and it’s highly likely they wouldn’t have went...

No doubt you will get tickets, Dublin really is out pricing itself, I detest it

Academy has gone backwards

I have it on good authority EOS is off at the end of the season. EOS and Cooney are two of three who have yet to commit or sign on. Gilroy, Carter, Jordi and Duane all departing. EOS leaving to, wrong in my opinion, I just think our academy has gone backwards, is that the Academy fault or is it the...
