If it is true then push is coming to shove for the whole game, club V country. The responsible unions, WRU, IRFU and the FFR tried to stop the clubs getting control in the NH but were stabbed in the back by certain Unions at the eleventh hour. What the RFU and, particularly, SRU sowed will be...

Munster looked like a team that hadn't played together for nearly two months which they hadn't. That said, I think JJ has to be involved from the start next week. Munster made 63 tackles in that game, Clermont 129!!!!!!

It will top the Gloucester game if Munster get out of the group now but because of the overwhelming virtue and goodness of the Munster players, coaches and supporters we are good at miracles!?!? Clermont were nearly perfect but it is very hard to replicate perfection practically and, more...

So the Nigels cup is off again. The predictability of the format means that seven of the eight quarter finalists are massive odds on to qualify after two rounds. Inevitably, this has led to weakened selections with Bath leaving their England players on the bench against Montpellier. The only...

CJ was actually told he was too small to ever make it as a Bok. That comes straight from his wife's Twitter feed so is a good source. Van Den Heever has taken a while learning how to catch and his defence wouldn't impress St Joe but he was the outstanding back in the Munster V Ulster game...

You have a fucking decent tight head, problem is he is playing for Ulster and looking to qualify to play for Ireland. For the life of me I do not understand how anyone in SA allowed Wiehahn Herbst to leave. He is the best tight head I have seen this season. Could he have been told, like CJ...

He is pushing on age wise as well. Would love to be proved wrong but I thing that is it for JDV's playing career.

I will be astonished if he plays again, sadly.

RIP Jack Kyle. In 2002 voted Ireland's greatest ever player. An astonishing life lived.

Hasn't been picked up by any of their cheerleaders in the English print media, the battle fought for the Heineken cup felt like it was existential at the time, when you read nonsense like this out of the most vocal of all the Nigels you realise letting these c'nts take control of the club game...

Well said, when all is said and done Ireland are the NH champions at the moment, think Aussie will beat England if they believe. Run them about and the Orcs will get tired. Gwan Australia!!!

Concussed. The Bandy Legged Assassin has been the best player in the Wale this season, since the SA tour he has set about trying to play rugby rather than try and hurt people and he has been a joy to watch.

He is so much better than Spies who strikes me as a bit of a FIGJAM.

Is it not down to the visitors to decide whether the roof is left open or shut?

Don't understand why Beale is anywhere near the set up. He should have been told to feck off long since if he cannot behave himself. Simon Zebo lost the run of himself a bit last year but, credit to the two of them, Schmidt and Penney got him back on the straight and narrow.

Hell of a test match which I am looking forward to seeing again. Didn't think much of Jackson although the TMO making him look stupid in front of everybody can't have helped. Certainly can't understand how anybody thinks he favoured Ireland. Anyway, the game was played at a furious pace which...

Rumours that Zebo has dropped out of the Irish squad, shame if true but Schmidt doesn't really seem to like proper wingers who score tries and sees them as auxillary loosies/ flankers. It could mean two full backs in the Irish back three. Irish team could well look something like this, 1...

Sexton has been assisted by having one of the top three scrum halves in the game to assist him this year, imho Murray is the best 9 in the world now but I am biased. As a combination I think Murray and Sexton take some topping in world rugby right now. Murray especially helps because he has a...

Murray should not be within an asses roar of the Georgia game. Marmion to start, Reddan on the bench. My team would be Killer. Strauss. Rodders. Hightower. Foley. Ruddock. TOD. Ryan. Marmion. Madigan. Gilroy. Henshaw. Payne. Luuke(touchwood). Kearney. Replacements.Herring( should be Casey but...

Well St Joe might actually be ready for canonisation. We absolutely stuffed South Africa, left them scrabbling about behind the gain line because anytime they came anywhere near it they were battered. My motm was Mike Ross who just held in there by his bleeding finger nails even though he was...
