Aside from Earls is there anybody exciting breaking into the provinces or somebody established in the provinces who is putting their hand up for selection at...

Maybe he will Glenn, but I just feel he will be caught between the two stools of not being bulky enough for 2nd row or fast enough for backrow, at...
I think what you say is entirely right, Richard, and there is absolutely no excuse for sticking your fingers into someone's eye. As I understand it, best was...
Use of the head, logically or otherwise, is not going to be regarded as an offence as serious as eye-gouging. Any player I know is much more likely to be...

I don't know about that Myles. Leinster-Connacht matches have always been tight and finally, it went their way. Fair play to them. Still doesn't make Bradley a...
Agreed Colin but surely to de-power the pack in the fashion they did against an opposition they have always had to battle against is even more foolhardy? I...
