He was not the pro’s pro. He was despised.
I see former Blackrock , Leinster and Ireland prop Job Langbroek on the news as a Davy Stockers analyst talking about oil prices .
A blast from the past . @ChairmanDan
Uh oh, Ewan is back with the debits and credits.

Is he wrong here? IRFU have two massive windfalls to cushion the 20m blow and no debt
I think they used a lot of the Newlands money to buy the offices in landsdown rd. Prudent at time but youd prefer to have the cash and a landlord now I guess

Professional rugby is in a strange place with presumably huge changes planned. When even Philip Browne is saying that summer tours and November internationals don’t have much meaning to them you know there is something big going on in the background.
International rugby in a better place than most international sports to cope with Covid 19.
How so?
He’s not wrong at all on this occasion.
Pro rugby needs a reset button. Budgets and wages have gone beyond its means in the last 10 years. Without a sugar daddy many french and english clubs would go under. IRFU did well keeping up with the Jones put now in a tight bind with no international matches. Bubble is burst. Fears from early 90s coming true

That it would bankrupt grass roots and only the rich will take over. Great clubs like biarritz, harborne, bayonne and Richmond have gone bankrupt and shells of their former self. Welsh club game is 5 years ahead of us.
