Jesus lads, are we really that stuck for something to shite on about?

Why are we using 2 bloody forums?

Nicer vibe here. No arsehole far right posters here

You're more catholic conservative than far right unless there is something you want to tell me.

James Ryan out for 3 months.

Out of Sarries game. Fuck it anyway

Munster Rugby in the final of some esport competition on BBC Sport website.

Good to see the cousin fuckers back competing for silverware again

[Camroc2]

Anyone know whether the new law interpretations, as being used in the SH, will apply when the Pro 14 restarts ?

[Nols]

AFAIK the goal line dropout is Aus only.

[Gav]

Ghey

[irishrugbyua]

So PR down...

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

Lots of GAA clubs up north have been linked with cases/clusters

Culchies.
Lawless feckers.

Apparently the cluster up in Limavady was a GAA house party and they were passing a karaoke mic around. Doing karaoke is bad enough without being dumb enough to pass something around which is near your mouth

No doubt it was Marty Mone and Take Me Home Country Road on repeat all night.
A different species altogether.

Let’s not forget some Wagon wheel, a culchie classic

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

Once LI sold Myler always looked like Jackson would play 10 full time again.

What’s the latest on the CFs and is there any more word about whether or not the game will go ahead this week?

Heard from a relative at the weekend who’d been speaking to an Ulster branch blazer that the plan is to see the fallout from 4k spectators allowed at Windsor for next month’s NI games and then plan to allow 6k at Raverspan for Ulster games from October (as if we’ll still be in any competition by that stage). Either way I think that its a very ambitious target, bordering on lunacy in this environment.

[Nols]

Yeah that sounds nuts. Just keep it behind closed doors FFS. We don't need to tempt matters by voluntarily gathering lots of people together. There will be enough random clusters within the community cropping up around the place as it is.

[Zig]

I presume Leinster v Munster is still going ahead.

Munster starting their new Saffa signings. It'll be interesting to see what difference they make for them.

Leinster going with a 6-2 split on the bench. Good to see Conan back but still no Leavy. Hopefully everyone comes through unscathed.

[Camroc2]

Leinster continue their winning streak.

[irishrugbyua]

Murray K

Leinster confirm Cian Healy, Josh van der Flier and Johnny Sexton all available if needed against Ulster, having taken knocks versus Munster.

Tadhg Furlong [back] and Rhys Ruddock [quad] are possibles.

Dan Leavy won't be available this weekend as his recovery continues.

Dave Kearney's hamstring injury "requires further assessment this week."

Leinster expected to make wholesale changes for the Ulster game.

Vakh Abdaladze has had surgery on his back and will be further assessed in the coming weeks.

Fingers crossed that the tighthead prop can finally get over this longstanding issue.

[dpedin]

Has Marty Moore always been that fat? Watched the game at the weekend and it looks like the lock down has not gone well for his fitness. I know he has always carried a few pounds but he just looked a big porker. Indeed the whole Ulster squad looked unfit and well out of condition in comparison to the Connaght squad. Just me?

[irishrugbyua]

[Camroc2]

Good to see !

[dob]

Dev's intercept was posted on FB, and worth sticking up here. A thing of beauty, he read JJ like a book.

Yep. Here he is on first day back at training

[HighKingLeinster]

any word on Snymans injury?

[Duff Paddy]

any word on Snymans injury?

Anyone got a video or a gif? Would like to see it again. At the time I felt he jumped across the line so POM completely lost contact with him, couldn’t really see the rear lifter but Snyman was left to drop without anyone guiding him down. An extremely costly fuck up for Munster in every way.

[earl the beaver]

In another lifting related injury I'm amazed the TMO didn't look at how AOC got injured on Sunday, Connacht jumper basically went straight into his legs/midriff and he fell badly.

[irishrugbyua]

Bad news on the injury front as RG Snyman sustained an ACL tear during #LEIvMUN & will meet with a specialist next to discuss surgery and management.

Dave Kilcoyne and Jean Kleyn have also been ruled out for the immediate future with both players requiring rehabilitation periods for respective ankle and neck ligament injuries.

That is just hideously bad luck. Fucking hell.
