A bad few weeks for the SDM with the humbling by France and Fintans reaching the SF of the Senior Cup

When you see the might of the french they were up against it just goes to show how brave the Irish performance truly was, they went out of their shields, heroes all.

I dunno does he suggest much in the way of what the alternative is

Reading that article it sounds like World Rugby need to look at the eligibility criteria again. It’s good for the integrity of the game to have the rules tightened, but it seems to be resulting in Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Australia etc getting less and less competitive. There has been some incredibly unseemly squabbling among the rugby set on here in recent days - I don’t think anyone would be too bothered if the team was packed out again with a few NZ and SA cast-offs rather than having some young outhalf who is the best south Dublin can produce being hounded and abused in a merciless manner just because he is out of his depth in international company.

He doesn’t but not up to him I spose

He’s from Kildare.

Tbh I think they were definitely looking for citings to try and weaken Ireland next week, particularly because of the Ringrose thing

Ah stop :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

Prendergast looks like he has the lot to me. I can’t understand the vitriol.

I don’t think the Dupont injury was necessarily intentional, but it wasn’t unintentional either.

Unfortunately it’s a game now. Irish management did the same with Ringrose.

Me neither. Fellas get awful excited. He will be a top top player in time

Where are you seeing the vitriol?

Very talented but far from the lot yet. Early days tho, hopefully gets there.

Personally I think he’s just that nanosecond too slow in moving the ball.
His decision making hasn’t yet reached international standard which tends to land him in trouble too easily. It’s a learning curve innit!!

Declan out quick to comment on this

More anti-munster bias from the SDM.

The French have plenty of playing resources as it is but their clubs are scouring OZ/NZ and the pacific islands for massive units of school boys to recruit to their academies. These school boys then become eligible for France after 5 years. That’s where they got Meafou from. And there are others on the way. We just don’t breed individuals of that size here.
