It got a mention on Gold 104 in Melbourne this morning, doubt MMM would mention it.

It's a good question, I think the Aviva ownership has a lot to do with it. It's shared ownership with the FAI rather then sole ownership like it did in the past. The operational cost on a stadium must be scary, as an apartment building manager the numbers spent yearly on required servicing is...

IRFU control everything with regards the 4 teams, but Leinster do seem to have the strongest squad and defiantly now have the best academy system. I don't think they pay more then French or English clubs, but they do manage players workload a hell of a lot better.

Jealous

Munster has only lost 5 Heineken Cup games in Limerick over 25 years, their something special in the Limerick water because that record is unheard of.

I think NZ having more teams would be a good thing, they will tell you they can't afford it.

Nope, Leinster is a level above. Have some food talent coming through but a long way to go. Toulouse are lucky the game was in Dublin, in Limerick a game that tight would only go one way.

I am a die hard Munster fan, my grandfather played for them. Agree the forwards for Toulouse were there saving grace, if it wasn't for their scrum they would have had no chance. Think alot of teams will look at how Munster shut down the French 9/10 combo and take notes.

Toulouse win in a shoot out, yes you read that right. Draw at full time and no scores in 20 mon of extra time. The way they do shoot outs has changed, 3 kickers per team. Six different kicking spots.

Watching Heineken cup quarter finals tonight, my god they destroy our atmospheres. Edinburgh was unreal, Munster are playing in Dublin so 4 hours away and still have an amazing crowd.

He had strike 1 when his record was 0-5 last year, strike 2 was early season, strike 3 was loosing to Fiji, strike 4 was tonight.

Foote should have been given the boot after 3 rounds this year, still useless. Even our wins have been average and a bit lucky. Time to poach Ellison from the Crusaders as head coach. Then get a European defense coach and a kiwi attack coach. Parling can stay for set piece only.

fair enough, young lock has been playing well enough to keep his spot

I just don't like the idea of a team in the bottom half of the table playing finals. You should at least need to finish top half, let alone the need to win 50% of your games for the year.

It's ok Dismal, in 2007 everyone expected the All Blacks to hockey the Frogs in Cardiff. Look what happened, maybe this uninspiring uncoached fat lazy puddinged side can pull off a miracle against your RWC bogey side. :cool::cool::cool:

Couldn't agree more, this comp should be a top 6.

Crusaders do it well, Leinster have done amazing (tastes like vomit typing this) with there Marquee player selections. Fardy finished with 4 Pro 12/14 titles and a European Cup to his name. All for it, adds depth to the squad and can attract casual fans who want to see players from there home...

Pone was a calf injury during preseason, and his only just back to the bench now. Similar build to Tupou so won't be a easy recovery. Gibbon has been very under rated even by Rebels fans this season, his set piece has been solid and defense better then most of our other props. He caused the...

We did, he was so good RA couldn't afford to keep him any more. With the departures last season, 2022 Rebels should be well under salary cap. Koroibete, DHP and Isi and none replaced by a big name.

It's a horrible time for me, will be in traffic and waiting on Friday dinner for the first half. Will be interesting to see how the Rebels back up from last week, hopefully To'omua is back and starts at 12.
