Flailing Waratahs desperate to avoid wooden spoon

Exactly, and that was years ago now. Rieko is a liability with a seriously limited skillset, especially for a 13. Frankly, every opponent is outplaying him. He’ll still make the ABs though, every player over 50 caps will, because we don’t drop ‘leadership group’ players apparently.

For instance, compare the tackle that ultimately earned Owen Farrell from the RWC warm ups with the one that only earned Eben Etzebeth a YC from head contact with Atonio in the QF. I have yet to see any reasonable justification for why two near-identical incidents (with Farrell’s if anything having the greater mitigation) produced totally different judgements.

Rugby has a long and inglorious history of dismissing these incidents without providing any explanation - remember the spear tackle on BOD on the 2005 Lions tour?

If Beirne wasn’t reckless, then he and Ireland should have nothing to fear, but the game benefits from having a clear explanation of why.

Aussies also have the motivation of a Lions series to fuel them through and a lot of wide open spaces in the WB team.

Ok thanks, that clears that up.

What I have heard is that a significant number now to to Uni. outside Ireland. In my day it was Queen’s or Trinity, a few to UCD.”

Apologies, you are correct, I was thinking about Universities! I had heard that amore students were being educated outside of Ireland but mixed that up with fee paying schools. Would this affect potential rugby careers or would promising rugby players tend to stay in Ireland?

Wider question but I’ve often taught sevens was the way to break kids more generally into rugby. Say for example, Ireland had a successful 2023 RWC. Volume of rugby playing population could be quickly expanded via sevens then building pathways for promising looking 15s players etc.

He won the Senior Munster Cup when he was there. As a snapshot at what it was like in the 50s: he claimed a Cork team used to win most years then (Presentation College I think) as a victory celebration they used to kick the Cup down St Patricks hill (notoriously steep hill in Cork City Centre). The year Rockwell run, Presentation had paper marche-ed the cup back together from the previous years kick down St Patricks Hill. They assumed their guy would be the guy lifting the cup and he knew to be careful. With the shock Rockwell victory my Dad got to lift the cup and there was no gentleness only ecstacy. Unfortunately, he lifted so hard the two lugs detached and he hoisted the lugs in the air with the cup staying put. Presentation got the last laugh there!

Not sure if prez still kick it down Patricks Hill, maybe O’Gara would know!

Nearly no one goes to school across the water… the state education in the North is largely excellent so by sending your children across the water you're either sacrificing their education or paying monstrous fees. I would love to know where the impression of Ulster pupils going to GB schools comes from?

Re club rugby: t's a good question. Overall, AIL clubs haven't been at the forefront of developing players in Ulster and certainly more could be done. But in comparison to yesteryear or to Leinster,I would say it's not that different. How many of the Leinster players went to fee paying schools? How many came up through the clubs instead of the schools?

I can understand why the citing was not taken forward, because having to answer to a citing panel normally presumes the guilt of the cited player and they have to prove their innocence. But it’s just not sustainable that there is nothing between being cited on suspicion of foul play and “no case to answer”.

I think rugby needs an Incident Panel that can be used to investigate serious injuries or controversial incidents where there is the possibility of an officiating error or foul play, that can be used to explain the decision taken on the pitch and set the future precedent for how it should be officiated.

For instance, it would be helpful for fans, players and officials to understand how Beirne’s entry to the ruck in which Dupont was injured met the standard of care that players owe to each other, and where the line is drawn between a legal ruck entry and a reckless one.
