At least in league, there wouldn't be 6 or 7 players diving into every tackle situation with no attempt to stay on their feet. The biggest difference between...

Justin, I have to say I thought the only players who really needed, and showed, more skill than usual were the scrumhalves; with the way the breakdown is...
I am afraid that I will have tp agree to disagree. My opinion of the skill level of all of the S14 was much higher than I witnessed in the GP final. The only...

I must be having a stroke. Couldn't agree more with you Donal. And also couldn't disagree more with Justin .. I'd better see a doctor. Seriously though, I've...

No surprises. Quinlan's in ahead of Leamy, BOD and Fitz in the centre, Flannery's back. With the injuries in the backs, it looks no different to an Eddie...
Lorcan, I should point out that I agree with you that the Super 14 players have far higher skill levels than the average level in the 6N, but my point is that...
So the team's pretty much as expected then :-) Have to say i'm a bit disappointed that Rory Best didn't get the nod at hooker but apart from that not too much...
As somebody pointed out to me recently when I said that the squad was a bit predictable we haven't always got that many options in Ireland. If EOS were...

Flannery's been playing some good stuff, in fairness. Fitzgerald impressed me against the baa-baas, running good lines, looked strong in the tackle and...
I have read your interpretation but what interests me is just how the NH sides will matchup aginst the SH sides. It doesn't really matter how we perceive the...

One new cap (plus a couple on the bench). Smith and Nonu in the centre could be an area we can target. All the Crusadres players were considered, so McCaw and...
Ferris has also travelled out to NZ to cover for Alan Quinlan. From Irishrugby.ie Ireland centre Luke Fitzgerald has been withdrawn from the team to play New...
Can't say I agree with those sentiments. Wallace Vs Nonu? Wallace is about 4 stone down in that contest and he's not exactly known as a strong tackler. I fear...
At the same time, Nonu isn't exactly known for brainpower either. He's a strong runner but if he was any good, he'd have been in the team all the time. ... ...
It's not Nonu (although he will surely be used as a battering ram to soften them up first) but Carter with his ability to glide through gaps that I'm worried...

Hopefully it happens.... By David Kelly Friday June 06 2008 Munster are ready to appoint Tony McGahon as head coach with an announcement expected before the...
I hope i'm wrong John, just cannot see us winning. NZ -16pts is lookking tempting, the only thing that is stopping me is the fact that NZ, never really get...
Former Ulster coach Mark McCall was named as head coach of Castres on Monday, replacing former French international Ugo Mola at the beleaguered Tarn club. ...
I am vacillating between thinking that Ireland has a chance, that their chances have been significantly diminished with the introduction of PW at centre and...
I think you'll find this is a more up to date article, Glen. Cheers, Rocky PS - I think Paddy Wallace may just surprise a few of you Munster guys in the...
I hope he does Rocky. It's good to see McCall having success elsewhere. When things went bad at Ulster, it was all too easy to forget that he led them to a...
