    URC 2023/24 - Round 16

    For years, the WRU and wider Welsh game have been hiding behind the national side either delivering the best they can be, punching above their weight or living a charmed life. Regardless of the reason, its kept the Millennium Stadium full and the money flowing in. For years, the Celtic league...

    The Leinster thread

    To be fair to using Cooney as an example, it was utterly mystifying why probably the form scrum-half in Europe for a significant period of time couldn't even get a look-in with the Irish squad with the incumbent playing like a drain. I dunno was there friction between player and at least one...

    The Leinster thread

    That's 3 guys who are really 8s. Not sure how balanced that'd be. Dunno why Marcus Rea doesn't see more games, everytime he's playing, he does, to my eyes at least, a good job at the breakdown.

    'tis an interesting conundrum.

    Not sure that Max Deegan is the kinda player we need - and also not sure where Max Deegan is with regards to where his potential ceiling was once upon a time. He's missed out on an awful lot of the bigger games that would have been vital stepping stones on the learning curve. We have more than...

    Cockerill has it bang on...

    Uh, why? Surely you don't believe it makes the game more "accessible"? Do you really think people decide to watch a match based on names on players' backs?

    Aside from the cost to the teams of doing it of course.

    jaysus - night and day sharper compared to last week. Cooney demonstrating just how off the pace Doak is.

    Desperately poor. While we somehow managed to have lots of possession, the breakdown work was often weak and ineffectual, leading to slow ball - not helped by Doak's rather ponderous style. Then any backplay was static, consistently exhibiting poor passing and lateral. Without the ball, our...

    URC 2023/24 Round 14

    I wouldn't given the Carre arm as a knock on. No way was it clear unless there is another angle I've not seen. Don't think it materially affected what was going to happen - which was McIlroy knocking it on. We didn't deserve the win and I think the blues have every right to feel robbed.

    Jaysus. To call us shite does a disservice to the usefulness of shite as a fertiliser.

    *holds thumb and forefingers in little hands together* But it was the best COVID China Virus cure, I'll guarantee it. No one knows more about curing China Virus than me. *picks up a small glass of water in 2 little hands and drinks it like a 3 year old* I got my bleach from Target - and I...

    WTF you on about? If that one woman worked harder and sought "efficiencies" and "streamlining", she'd be able to do it herself in 6 months. Oh, actually, there is another priority job for that woman to do - mind the 2 year old - it should only take a couple of months. When that's done, we'll...

    ...going over what was shot down where, by whom and when, then gauging the effectiveness of their respective defence and attack. In the foreground, f**k knows. The sensible thing for Israel to do would be take the win. They got the general in Damascus, and they got to demonstrate to their...

    As far as I know, its still very much PR stunt territory. My knowledge is definitely out of date, but I don't think optical diffusion has gone away to a point you can target beyond a few km without pouring Mega Watts or even Giga Watts into the effort. Then there is the question of dwell time...

    Some big changes happening. Petrie already gone as CEO. Don't think we'll miss him. Kitshoff returning to the Stormers - good player but not really a massive difference maker to our fortunes. Expecting future clear out in the summer as the wage bill is trimmed dramatically.
