Could Jacques Nienaber be linked with Ireland job after exerting Bok influence on Leinster?

If the overall margin was wafer thin with Toulouse, there wouldn’t have been a need for a radical change of game plan. Serial losses in finals are just that, serial losses.


Your point on jones is a good one, if it happens then it should help to align things for Ireland no doubt.


As for the URC, Leinster may well prevail and it’s all to play for as I said but for me, they’ve got it all to prove playing this way when it really matters. Home or not, they’ve lost to plenty of teams in Dublin at the business end of proceedings in recent years. And that means they’re not favourites.

Mack Hansen banned for ref blast but free to play in Six Nations

Could you elaborate on that please. Do you believe that there should be no suspensions of sanctions at all, or none in this case? The sentence tends to be a maximum and can be brought down based on how the player and the team responds to it. Three weeks and the extra requirements by Hansen feels about right.

If you suspect corruption of the Welsh and South African officials comprising the independent disciplinary panel then perhaps say so and why. Its a pretty serious implication. First perhaps, aknowledge that apologies and their nature are taken into account in all such cases, what Hansen said and when. A learning process for Hansen on why officials can't be undermined and undertsanding that they are genuine in their officating would have a far more influential effect on Hansen than an extra 3 weeks. His missing January will hurt him and Connaught badlyA full 6 week ban would have been extermely harsh.

He’s already dragged his family to France, then to the other side of the world and back again to France in the name of his career. His ambitions override everything else and he sees the best opportunities as being with England or France. Ireland, if it happens, will come about because he hasn’t been offered the other two. Nothing wrong in any of that and good luck to him.

Yeah. That. Now he’s in the conversation re: Ireland. Fickle human beings. And silly considering that he’s a defence expert.

Leinster aren't pretending to be great. Their performances have been low key. They didnt struggle to beat Clermont. The result was never in doubt. Clermonts only have chance got thema very dubious try. Leinsters lineout malfunctioned which must be fixed if they want to win trophies. La Rochelle are hit and miss and played poorly against a young Toulouse but stacked with talent. Toulouse play the same way all the way up so their seond teams can always step directly into that style. But I believe La Rochelle won that match?

Hansen saga has no winners but rugby needs characters and referees – Andy Goode

"I’m sure he didn’t intend to accuse Busby of anything as being up against 16 men." Of course he did. That's what "being up against 16 men" means. He was insinuating that Busby was either incompetent or biased.

Could Jacques Nienaber be linked with Ireland job after exerting Bok influence on Leinster?

The disjointed Ireland AI matches are as a result of the imbalance between Leinsters style and Ireland's style in my opinion. Ireland probably should get Felix Jones in to work defence. With Nienaber in Leinster and Jones in Ireland, the International team would become incredibly difficult for anyone to beat. That situation is Ireland's problem now not Leinsters.

A fully loaded Toulouse team last year were saved by the width of a post from Frawleys drop and a decision not to take a scrum (Leinster were smashing Toulouse) probbaly gaining a penalty or minumim a drop attempt.

Leinster are concedeing 8 points less than last year and that is including 2 outlier matches (Edinburgh and Ulster) where high points were conceded in controlled wins.

Toulouse will have to be better than last year to beat Leinster.

I am amazed at your assessment that they are not favourites for the URC. They have a lot of clear ground leading the league. They will finish in first place and have home matches all the way. They lost last year away in Pretoria to an impressive Bulls performance. If a URC team wants to win the URC they will have to beat Leinster in the Aviva. Maybe, but Leinster are favourites surely?

Lastly you will see how the depth of Leinster is maturing. Last year the second team shipped points in SA. Its Bulls and Sharks for them this year. Lets see what happens there.

Shouldn't it be Ireland v France if its played at the Aviva, rather than France v Ireland.

He wasn't roundly criticized at all, thats an exaggeration on your part. Some Leinster supporters and commentators lamented the bluntless of the once lethal attack.

Whatever about Rugby but for family situation its France or Ireland. His kids are Irish but with French schooling. I don't see 'wanting' the upheaval of an England move over the other two.

'Snuffing it out' is an exaggeration JW. Ireland still scored 3 tries in that WC QF and the style has shifted since then.

Gloucester respond to complaints over Russian flag

Is Rugby exempt from politics or not?

Its not. The historical example from rugby is the correct ban of apartheid South Africa from International competition.

Does Russia's invasion of Ukraine with half a million deaths and 7 million refugees warrant a widespread response that include sporting organisations.

Should the ongoing genocide in Palestine also warrant similar sanction against Israel. 1,000,000 %.

Should the fact that it isn't mean that other restrictions (eg against are dropped by Europe?) No.

Is the removal of the Russian flag from European sporting Jersey's "Woke".

No, thats nonsense.
