Yes its a bit like the conference shield in URC. Ah man, imagine having those two trophies in the cabinet. The pinnacle. There is nothing left to achieve. I'd love to see ANY Saffer team winning the European leagues. Man that will be great. :spin If the Bulls win the European Cup it would make them...

I'm gwlad David isn't from Anglesey. That Holyhead crowd are rough.

Connacht at the Sports Ground in December has always been a tough place to go for Leinster.

Jacques Nienaber has been there before so hopefully he's got a plan.

Even Musk commented on it today.

Ireland, like everywhere else, is so fucked.

Ireland is grand. I had a great day on Saturday before and after the match at Lansdowne.

The internet is more fucked than usual these days though.

Irish Americans put more effort into Irish culture than most Irish born people, who usually adopt American culture.

It doesn't really feel like the season has started yet. The derby games next month will kick things off properly with fully loaded squads.

Wow. I never thought I'd see scenes like this in Dublin. The Sinn Fein mob burning down the British embassy was before my time by I do remember the riot at Lansdowne Road which turned into street battles on O'Connell St. in 1995 and then there was the Love Ulster Parade in 2006. It's shocking when ...

Oliver Jager switching to Munster.

Good luck to him.

You get your money's worth at Ravenhill. Great game.

That's a bullshit call against Ulster.

Suella Braverman, if that's your real name, isn't as bad as she seems.

If Andy Burham spoke those words there'd be a very different response.

It's a good time to play the South Africans while they're still celebrating.

I hope whoever gets out of this group goes on to win the tournament.

I really really hope it's Ireland, anyone but England or Wales.

Will we see Robert MacIntyre vs Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry on the sidelines?

That's where CJ Stander is from. It's World famous now.

And for the Eastern Province Kings.

Tall guy getting into small spaces is always amusing.

It always reminds me of the town that I love so well. A different town.

We'll deal with you Jacindanites in a few weeks

How many chickens is that now?

We've lost that traditional skill and many others to automation and cheap foreign labour.

Stronger by the Sugababes, I don't think it emphasised their resilience and inner beauty enough.

I remember thinking the games against Ireland were bankers for us in the 5N in the 90s, though it was an unspoken thing, I don't think we were wankers about it. It was all sporting handshakes and pints after the game in the 90s, often times before the game too. I'm not 100% sure it's a purely Irish...

The rise of Irish rugby since 2000 hasn't gone down well in some places.

This game could be being played at Croke Park if Scotland hadn't voted against the Irish World Cup bid. Funnily enough that was the last venue where Scotland beat Ireland outside of Murrayfield. That would have been interesting, had you managed to put a half decent bid together Brown envelope sweet...

The new shirt is designed never to be seen again. There's an arrogance in thinking this team won't win the World Cup and that abomination won't haunt Irish rugby for generations. I don't understand the order of those words I was talking about the new Irish national team shirt, not the troll/bait th...

They have fuck all time left to start making the investment in them look worthwhile There's an argument that this war saved NATO and sparked the kind of defence spending in Europe that been needed for a long time. Old Soviet stocks from Eastern Europe are being donated to Ukraine and replaced by mo...

So start of May, on a two-lane roundabout, lad to my left decides he's not turning off and is actually going all the way round. No indication. Hits my rear left passenger door with the front of his truck. Luckily no injuries. Damage to his truck is pretty superficial but there's about 3.5 grand wor...

It says

Rishi Sunak “thinks” adults convicted of sexually assaulting children should not go to prison.

You can not surely defend this?? Even on this circle jerk off of a thread.

It's a shameful accusation, there should be laws against it.

They're still trying to work a Premier League soccer model, if you build it they will come with Global tv revenues, while most clubs are almost going bust.

England has the biggest player base and it's crazy that they're importing talent instead of refining their best home grown.

I've seen this shit before.

This is what America would be like if everyone was white. These troglodytes would find something else to discriminate about.

We'll see if all that rand and chicanery was worth while against Toulouse.

It would be a massive upset but both Leinster and Munster earned their spurs in Europe beating Toulouse in their backyard. Win in Toulouse, you can win anywhere.

Injuries piling up for Leinster is not good for Ireland. We didn't get to see much of Doris at 7 and Baird will be a loss if he doesn't recover.

James Lowe getting injured celebrating a try is just fucking nuts.

Twenty years ago Leicester were the undisputed best team in Europe while Leinster weren't even the most popular team in the province.

Leicester are still a top team in England but they've lost ground on the rest of Europe.

France are just so good now they deserve a Grand Slam and they could dominate European rugby for a while.

What a game. Well done France, deserved winners.

Joey Cadbury earned his chocolate buttons, great performance.

France v England should be a great game too, probably the only NH team who can match them physicaly.

Does this facility become redundant when ITER comes on line?

The Irish u20s look a lot beefier, than they have in previous years. There was one phase of plays early in the 1st half, & it was noticeable, they way they were busting thru the defensive tackles; but the forwards still have the skills to take & pass. They (and the ref) killed Fra at the br...

Carberry's first start in the 6N.

I probably shouldn't be so surprised at that given his injury history.

He's got talent but he just doesn't play enough games to have any confidence in him for a game like France in Paris.

France by 10.

Scotland for slam.

If they're going to do it in the 6N era this is their best chance.

Credit to Wales they gave a full strength Irish team a hard time.
I'm not sure Ireland could do the same missing that many first choice players.
Great start to the tournament.
