November Rugby Internationals (aka Kev - "Should BOD be dropped?")

It must be amazing. It’s so rare we have special achievements like this in international sport

You missed Mcgregor a few weeks back?

Furlong is the greatest Wexford sportsman since Tony Doran.

All talk about the great defence. Yet worringly Ireland have conceded as many as they have scored in the four tests.

Huh?

No doubt Schmidt is working on that already. The ones last night I wouldn’t take much note of. Virtually impossible to defend with the back line rejigged like that. Will definitely give Schmidt food for thought though could easily happen again especially when almost certain Sexton won’t play a full 80 all that often.

All Blacks are going to score tries on you regardless

He’s seething chief. Take no notice.

Thought hed be delighted with Linfield Rangers and Chelsea all winning. The Blues Brothers as he knows them

any update on Carney and how the IRFU allowed him back on the pitch 1 week later?

Is this a Chelsea fan wondering about best practise in dealing with medical issues? Ye need to get own house in order first pal ye forced a fantastic medical proffessional out of the club because ye didn’t want to hear when players were injured. FOR SHAME.

Chelsea players arent turning into vegetables like the oirish rogbee team

Sweep Sweep as per usual out of you

Not a vegetable.

@gilgamboa, do you think the IRB should approve an extra substitution spot to allow for the increase in the prevalence of collision injuries?

cc @Rocko, @Horsebox.

No. In fact if they reduced the size of the match day squads it would mean players need to play more mins and would probably over time reduce the size of the biggest forwards.

Just make a rule no tackle over hip height and be done with it. Likes of Kearney incident will still happen as he just crashed into his knee but would remove most of the head to head collisions

An anecdote for ye so lads…and feel free to give it the “that didn’t happen” if ye wish.

Three weeks ago a young lad playing for my local club was concussed. Club doctor pulled him from game did HIA gave referee his report after. 3 days later letter comes from IRFU warning club that said player wasn’t to play at any level for club for three weeks based on medical report. No problem. Player given copy of report.

He has played GAA games all three weekends since. Doc went bananas contacted GAA club. They weren’t aware. He hadn’t told them. Nor his parents.

There is only so much you can do for fellas.

He should stop playing the “sport” that he got concussed in.
