Borthwick has an awful lot of work to do if he wants this gameplan to bear fruit, very workman like win today without doing much apart from the basics, that won't work against France and us.

This is a hard way to spend 2 hours on a Sunday,

England playing with discipline. Italy not so much. Ref is fine. Grow up.

No issue with the discipline side of it, it's the 5 minutes coaching sessions he needs to stop.

Ref is killing this game, needs to blow his whistle and shut up, no need for the sermon at every stop

I said the same thing yesterday

Should have been down to 14 for the rest of the game anyway

Grandpa wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 7:20 pm Makes you wonder why they didn't show this angle at the time?

Because it was after he placed the ball down.

Not to go full Jeff but looking back on the performances today Outstanding - Doris, Keenan Excellent - Bealham, Ryan, Lowe, McCloskey, Ringrose Very Good - Porter, Kelliher, O'Toole, Beirne, Henderson, VDF, Casey, Sexton, Byrne, Aki Good - Kilcoyne, Conan, Herring Average - POM, Murray Meh - Hansen...

Lads.

That was a 23 man performance, some of those playes won't even make the QF team, class

That was some.game of rugby, Ireland v Dupont is just about fair..

They'll have to stay switched on all day long

Tell me you’re joking

I never joke.

Any truth to it? I have him in my fantasy team.

Don't know lad, you can change it right up to kickoff.

Oh FFS

Yup, will be odd to see Stu as the most skillful partner in an international midfield, bludgeon them to death.

Rumours going about the Ringrose is out, would be another massive loss.

French prop got up, ran the long way around the breakdown, actually handled Gunne and the ref let it off.

Ireland really struggling now, look out on their feet.

Harsh when compared to the other high hit

I see Pierre the most French man in France is at the game

Gunne has really mixed some good with some stinking decisions

Way too easy

Miles faster than them at the breakdown

Good by Gunne there to play the arm

French lads very slow to move away from the breakdown

That lad Sam would be great for Ulster.

Going from foggy memory here, but wasn't there a issue in the past with a bunch of Leinster players out with hamstring injuries - got be be 5+ yrs ago. Was talk about what they were doing in the gym being a factor. Can't remember any specifics, sprinter type injuries. I remember seated squats being...

If the Leinster lads had used the stairs in BT instead of the fancy pants elevators they'd have stronger hamstrings, absolute science fact.

Great to see Leavy is getting close to being back.

Snyman is out for 9 months, having an op next week.

Should be 2 decent games again this weekend, the 2 backlines in the Connacht v Munster game are tasty, I expect Munster to win the forward battle though.

When is James Ryan back?

Going to house parties is such an unbelievable dickhead move. I just don't understand it.

Shanning player, no more to say anymore really.

Now, there's a night on the piss to avoid.

Did he get the wrong prescription?
No, caught it off his cousin

Balls anyway, if that's true we'll all get it.

So Connacht's New signing "BOD" has an ACL injury, not back until Christmas at the earliest. Despite AF knowing him previously not sure signing a guy with such a severe injury is smart business. https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/sevens/tokyo-2021-olympics-ben-odonnell-australian-rugby-se...

Alright, new topic. if you could pick one player from another nation to play for your province, who would it be? For Leinster, I reckon Dane Coles Antoine Dupont - Leinster Owen Farrell, nothing fancy and picks the right option 99% of the time at club level. And Munster need a proper reason for peo...

What's a Des Dillon?

You're not green so dont get a vote c69 while I think he’s sound out, I don’t think he deserves the green.. maybe after a few 6N’s and a WC to show his allegiance. He would also have to support Ireland over Wales. If Muster fans can fuck their sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers and pets I can supp...

Green me up.

Nice place you have here, pity about all the noobs.
