I believe the board have been misled about how strong rugby really is. It appears the Magners League is a tougher competition than rugby World Cup qualifiers.
Wtf? Coach Joe will be gone. Youâre losing it
That sadly is a typical attitude, that international rugby isnât for the lad who loves the club game, coaches youngsters on a Saturday morning and who remembers the noble old game in the amateur era. Tis now only for the plastic flag waving provincial fans, desperately tweeting their excitement at the thought of another antipodean learning Irelands Call. Tis sad to see what a load of shite it has all become in a mere 25 years, great interview with James Lowe this week highlighting what a nonsense it all is. Still, I expect us diehards will get the great game back when the fickle generation have moved onto NFL or some other fad.

They still have a few days to go back to the lab and get some masking agents on board. Theyâll be a different beast Friday week.
I hope youâre doing something mathsy in college kid.
Thank god for that. Iâve only just learned that he has decimated the squad with injuries.
please god
Sure you can see the clowns its attracting in this thread. Once every 4 years they take an interest and they looking at the no 1 world ranking and the cup is in the bag. Itâs tiresome
Thatâs gas. Coz only a few days ago you were acting like the Oracle
Dan Leavy did his knee playing for Leinster against Ulster in the European Cup semi final. Sean OâBrien also injured on Leinster duty. Itâs in poor taste from you to be screeching for members of the Ireland backroom team and strength and conditioning team to be sacked when you have such a poor grasp of all the background circumstances.

Lawrence Dallaglio and Stuart Barnes in the Sunday Times today both predicting South Africa to win the World Cup.
Heâs taken some kicking off Jeff.
Munster failed miserably under razzy versus sarries in a European cup semi final due to a lack of an attack plan. Iâd have a feeling thatâll undo the boks as well. Razzy is a head master type and probably much suited to a director of rugby role than a coaching position. My pwn opinion is Iâd rather face the all blacks in a quarter final than the boks as I think their attritional style of play means maybe by World Cup final time theyâll be carrying a lot of knocks. I think we can get the better off the all blacks up front. We potentially have a better scrum and size wise weâre probably marginally bigger. I donât rate the likes of Ardie savea and Sam cane. If you can get on top of that forward pack youâve a massive chance. The all blacks can play within themselves too under pressure. Iâd really fancy a crack off them in the 1/4s.
Maybe you misunderstood my post because youâre simple. What I said was maybe, after the injury crisis youâre contending we have, the irfu should introduce some sort of player management system. That way they could manage the workload and minutes of players across province and international level and ensure we never encounter an injury crisis like this again.
Oh wait, they already have that.

Black Sunday for glas. Heâs got an awful hiding on a good few threads today
When you have lads who hate rugby and donât understand the intricacies of the sport, giving it big licks and trying to act knowledgeable, itâs inevitable theyâll just end up making fools of themselves, the more they mouth off.

It will be the same when the Olympics comes around. You will have the same hard chaws in here complaining that the OâDonovans got the warm weather training wrong, espousing about our chances in the modern pentathlon etc.
Its the way of the world
