He actually won a Heineken Cup medal in 2018, something Leinster’s current crop and indeed a whole plethora of rugby pundits haven’t done .

It’s the Dublin media’s fault , No wait it’s David Nuciforas fault , no wait it’s the IRFUs fault , No now it’s the referee’s fault #StandUpandCry

The Cork mustard speaks

20 pt game without Lowe , Hanson, Ringrose , Kelleher, Furlong, 4 Lions
Things are never as good or as bad as they seem.
we would beat that france side tomorrow.

It’s more complicated, We passed the ball 196 times V France 97 . They made 100 more tackles. Ireland are not an off ball team.
We still want to play ball but only beyond the half way line, the problem is without a firing Aki or Lowe , we are beyond pedestrian in attack .

Didn’t you call for a citing !!

Munsters fans happy .

Sam Warburton has him starting for the Lions yet it’s the blue media’s fault that he is even on the irish team.
Yes he leans into his strengths one of which i suggest is his unfazed ability to stick to a game plan.

Listen , the my man is better than yours brigade won’t be happy unless we lose to France, then they will want 7 changes for the Italy game .
I hope neither happens.

Some clutch moments by Sam to win and close the game out but we won’t hear anything about that from you

Good Pod, Interesting to see if the pass to wide option was specific to Englands strong ground game and if Ireland will revert to short passing this weekend.
The call up point, is very interesting (Ahern ,Bolton) and would point towards a shift in tactics.

It’s the mad conspiracy theories that keep me hooked
“plain as day better” An opinion
“Stand and Sling out half” a bad opinion
“Wrong option to pass to Bundi” a mad opinion

There all mad notions.

Will miss McCarthys ballast but he isn’t the most accurate particularly in offensive ruck, Baird need to secure lineout but must be switched on.
Crowley on in the last 30 to counter and attack england bid body bench.

in other news , a manager with a successful history of winning stays through to his principles.
January 29, 2025 at 7:49 AM
Ireland will pick Crowley for England, Need to go with 6/2 split , Too much risk with Sam as that means needing to go 5/3 . It would be unwise to not have an extra hybrid flanker on the bench.
January 28, 2025 at 12:40 PM
No he is not as mobile as Wilson or Clarkson, he is a better scrummager without doubt.That said i didn’t expect to see Augueur called up ahead of him,
January 27, 2025 at 7:17 AM
That’s professional sports ,
Ongoing success is still going to capture the corporate buck, it is what it is,there will be 20k english in attendance next week down to circumstances created over 20 years ago.
It’s my own clubs lifeline.
January 26, 2025 at 9:48 AM
You be you timmy , the rest of us will go to the match or get up at 4 in the morning (i live in Melbourne) to watch the next match .
January 26, 2025 at 7:22 AM
As long as ireland keep winning the vast majority of Irish rugby’s supporters don’t honestly care.
See the attendances, i would also. argue given the low attendance availability at the Aviva, 6 nations tickets will always be in demand even if we drop a few games.Sorry you feel so much apathy.
January 26, 2025 at 2:56 AM
Has he really, Again as third choice they probably like Clarkson ability to cover ground , Scrummaging hasn’t been the main criteria for a few years now.
January 25, 2025 at 12:38 PM
Yea i see your point but Conan is a great 8 and the way Dorris is playing at the moment he could do a great job.
Personally feel we should have backed Timoney instead of Prendergast on form and even as blue as i am you have to see the dog in Ahern and back him now but that’s just my own eyes.
January 25, 2025 at 12:02 PM
Beirne will start in the row v England, we need POM for lineout, Reckon Ryan will miss out, Leaves Ryan Baird and Conan coming in for the last 30. FWIW i think The biggest call is at 10,12 and neither will be blue bloods.Really don’t understand why we don’t select 40 players for experience.
January 25, 2025 at 11:46 AM
I would argue you are getting caught. up in the exact opposite way , Take the front row , and back row , i believe the best players are selected to do their role and the coaches don’t care where they come from.Its all opinion of course but POC agrees with me.
OTHP still raises relevant questions
