As much as I would love to agree with you guys (and I used to), I can't. The corporates who don't give a flying F*** about supporting Leinster or Ireland are...
Stuart et al, We are now three years into our merger and really it's hard to remember that we were not always just Harlequins. This is, I think mainly due to...

Best of Luck to him. However, the MB better get their finger out and do some signing. Munster have announced that lock forward Mick O’Driscoll has agreed...
The Well and Dolphin should merge completely and create one club. Over the years there have been Well-Highfield, Dolphin-Ballincollig, Highfield-Ballincollig,...
The IRFU ought to get the finger out and try something to stop this exodus. Not so worried about older players like Blair and Fitzpatrick but when youngsters...
MoD going isn't such a bad thing. Good for him and hopefully when he returns, good for Munster. As my Mother-in-law says about my nephew, he "needs to be...

I didn't mean to be dismissive of anybody who wants to support Ireland or any of the provinces passionately. I do think, though, that the definition of...

Davidson's loss is a huge blow to Ulster rugby - and in my opinion Irish rugby. In his absence i hope we'll see Matt McCullough step up to the plate, we've...

I don't think Irish rugby can afford to let the talent go. The fact that Galway is still considered as a possible replacement says as much. The other thing I...
Too true Steve ! Andrew Can't fathom why you are comparing Irish Rugby supporters to English hooligans !!! Have you been to TP lately, did you watch the Gloucs...
The problem is there aren't enough top quality games to share out amongst the squad players. Tom Tierney was in exactly the same position as MOD last year....
Peadar, If Leinster Rugby expects to be successful because it needs Corporates to support it's matches in significant numbers then I can assure you there is...
Well Ray, I think you were missing my point. I'm not talking about which provinces supporters are the best...it was more about paying for irish rugby and the...
I have to join in this Peadar and disagree with you I'm afraid. Ray wasn't saying Munster's supporters are better than Leinster's in the absolute sense. He was...
surely it's a bit much that we can have two simultaneous threads in the group one bemoaning the inability of the irfu to keep players in ireland and the other...
