Interesting. Any word on whether these lads are as promising as the blurb? Looks like Ireland won't need to worry about Dallaglio for the next 6n. Any comments...
He speaks very highly of you though Colin.... ;-) Actually Dallaglio has been an exceptionally good player and skipper for England. It's a measure of the guy...

Hi, Connaught can do it yet! Good news for the Celtic League too. Paul Union rethink a mixed bonus for Connacht Gerry Thornley - Irish Times ...
BBC have just announced his resignation. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/international/3613610.stm [Non-text portions of this message have been...
See, Justin? The Editor of the Daily Mail awaits your apology. I trust s/he'll receive it when that coating of ice over Hades is just about six inches thick......
Is this good or bad for Ireland though? Woodward should have left after the world cup because they were never going to maintain that level of success....
Must have seen my ropey tag rugby skills so! I don't doubt that he's a magnificent player but he wasn't all that successful as a captain, especially when...
Well in fairness there aren't too many Northern Hemisphere skippers who's record would stand up to Johnson's. A lot of it though is timing and luck, choosing...
Hi Colin, I certainly hope so. I actually thought the second link I sent was the more interesting about the Celtic League but there have been a few mails on...

Hi John Gary Brown is a back row player from Belfast Harlequins, although i think he just moved there this summer. Before his move he was with Portadown. He...
Thanks for the info.(We seem to have a lot of centres and back-row and not too many props)Will we win on Saturday? Cheerio, John ... From: Stuart Flint...

Will we win... Well pre-season hasn't been too encouraging for us but then it was just pre-season. Edinburgh apparently have more injury problems than we do...
Just watched the first half of Munster/ospreys on sentanta and i have to say that the Scotish ref (Dickson?) is absolutely appalling. I think Munster have been...
I couldn't agree more, Peadar. He let the Ospreys players come up offside consistently throughout the game and he stood and watched a Welsh prop throw a punch...

Totally agree that the Scottish refs are crap - I think that's generally accepted. We witnessed a poor ref and even worse touch judge at Murrayfield yesterday....
Watching David Changleng today at Donnybrook just confirmed what people here have been saying about Scottish refs. He was worse than the bloke Munster got by...
There were some strange decisions at donnybrook today alright but what struck me most was the appalling ball handling skills from both teams....it was as if...
Hi Rocky, I hope you haven't been listening to the commentator too much. While Burke had a shocker kicking out of hand I have to point out that all of Osprey's...

John Tommy did drop it over the line whilst not under a huge amount of pressure. One of the few decisions the ref got right!! In fairness Tommy had done well...
Given the teams the provinces were forced to field it wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. I only saw glimpses of the Munster and Ulster matches. One...
I agree with all that!! Edinburgh council have seemingly closed the Meadowbank(?) rugby ground.... Howell is quite a player, judging by his rep in the NZ...
It's really annoying that A. Dunne and Staunton are over in London, while we have to rely on imports and some former irish schools player who was way out of ...
I believe that Dunne thought he could further his career better in London than here - he did leave at the time that Matt Williams was being accused of...

That's another thing...i give this guy McAllistair another 2 games before he falls victim to the "The Curse of the Leinster No. 10"......his days are numbered!...
Sort of a mixed bag weekend..I wonder when EOS is going to realise that if the Provinces develop a losing habit their morale sinks and they lose hope of being...
HI John, I agree about the ref for the Leinster game but it was after all one of the Chengleng twins and any of the Bay City Rollers (Shang-a-lang - get it?) ...
