I always ask the question was Ben Healy wedded to wearing tartan? If there was a decent living to be made as no 2 behind Crowley could he have stayed and fought it out ?
But it doesn’t have to be taking from the rich and giving to poor analogy. The reason this contract for Barrett has been met with so much disgust and rage is that under no circumstances is it needed! I’ve no issue with a 1-23 lads from Leinster winning season after season as they have been for a...

Hasn’t really worked out I terms of getting further English caps but with bundee aging and henshaw injury...
Hey muff Are we looking at NIQ or IQ options for Frisch?
Any hope of cover at Loosehead ?
