Dan Leavy for me - is even drop O’Brien for him -
The game was actually on in Cork and not Thomand so no chance I would ha e gone anyway. A strong Munster side gave your reserves a bit of a thumping.Originally posted by Buzzo View PostI thought it had only been widely speculated? With some hope that you could chuck enough money at him to make him change his mind.
He leaves you in a great place. Will be motivating for the squad going into the WC and 6ns.
Munster v Edinburgh this weekend Nev. Cockerill has said he is resting the internationals, and given it is a 4 day turnaround for us
I cant say I have any confidence.
Farrell, Tyler B and Murray all made comebacks.Comment

Yeah, watched it.Originally posted by Irishnev View Post
Was all over by HT. We rallied 2nd half, otherwise the score could have been really ridiculous!Modifying post.Comment

Naka Drotske shot 3 times, currently in critical condition. Fantastic coach who put the Cheetahs on the map for the first time. A lot of really good players like le Roux, Nyakane and Goosen can think him for springboarding their careers. Hope he gets through it.Comment

Shocking stuff - I hate saying it Zap but ZA was arguably the only place I ever felt ‘unsafe’ and I have travelled extensively.Originally posted by Zapater View PostComment

Looks like he's going to pull through.
Not really the platform to discuss it, but indeed, it's an absolute disgrace. SA is a fantastic place to live and offers a brilliant lifestyle with the warmest of people wherever you go. It's hard to believe that over 50 people are murdered each day. (Un)fortunately most of those are out of site and out of mind, but it really is an eye opener when it's closer to home. There have been a few sports figures in the recent past. Corrie Sanders, Senzo Meyiwa (a goalkeeper) and most shockingly that triathlete who they tried to chainsaw his legs off for no reasonOriginally posted by Irishnev View Post
I don't feel unsafe, but sometimes boring Germany looks like a pretty appealing 'out'.Comment

Ya not to be discussed here - have been there LOADS of times and typically for 2 week slots. So many positives but do many negatives alsoOriginally posted by Zapater View PostLooks like he's going to pull through.

Yep, I've lived abroad for many years. The first 6 months or so back was a huge eye opener. After that you develop blinkers and become immune to it again.Originally posted by Irishnev View Post

Anyway, back on topic - quite looking forward to the Baabaas game against Argentina later on.
Can't believe that Rassie pretty much named the Bok squad with one or two others. Surely that's not right, bit of a conflict of interest.
Nice touch calling up Leguizamon though. Sure he's going to have a great time.Comment

That's the sad thing about modern rugby. These days the Baa baas is mostly about who's available not who would you actually like to pick?Comment

That turned into a properly competitive match; not often there's niggle in what's effectively an exhibition game. Some really decent rugby at times too.Comment

Great game there between Warriors and Scarlets.
A good win for Glasgow despite going down to 14 from 22 mins. Amazing performance e from their pack.Modifying post.Comment

Rugby World Team of the Year
Beauden Barrett, Ben Smith, Jonathan Davies, Owen Farrell, Rieko Ioane, Johnny Sexton, Conor Murray; Kieran Read, David Pocock, Peter O'Mahony, Leone Nakarawa, Brodie Retallick, Tadhg Furlong, Malcolm Marx, Mako Vunipola
I’m not sure what Davies does to make that team tbh and James Ryan v hard done by.Comment

Edinburgh top of their Champions Cup group having bonus point win v Newcastle falcons last night.
With Toulon and Montpellier likely to take points of each other I reckon Edinburgh have an outside chance of progressing

I finally finished watching all the weekend's games last night. I really can't see past Leinster, Munster or Saracens winning the trophy again this year.Comment

Maybe Glasgow just outside those three, but not sure Glasgow have the power up front and the game they play is so high risk.
On their day though...Modifying post.Comment
