Re: Leinster 16/17
Leinster will be gutted to get nothing from that game. They were good enough to get something from it.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Laughable performance from the men in high viz.
Re: Leinster 16/17
Carberry is a very fine developing young 10 but still very naïve giving away intercept tries etc.
We need the frontline internationals back as soon as we are allowed to play them.

He is only 20 or so and has played a couple of great games. Anyone can throw an intercept now and again. Go aisy on him - the lad's a real find.Dublin4 wrote:Carberry is a very fine developing young 10 but still very naïve giving away intercept tries etc.

Liked the backrow combination of VDF/Murphy/Leavy.

Sideshow Bob is amongst the worst NIQs ever signed by an Irish team, but here ............wait 'til I tell yis.UlsterNo9 wrote:You'd be disappointed if Kirchner was taking up an NIQ spot at Ulster
The thing is Mexico don't often go big on NIQs and there is a damn good reason, they have never ........... well rarely ....... needed marquee players to boost their team, they have produced plenty home grown and more than that, they produce more young talent than the rest of the provinces put together.
So we can mock, but it's high time we were producing something decent in the numbers they consistently have. That said, I expect them to be modest this season, top 4 of course but they might struggle to be top 2 for a change.
Oh aye, and Weegies, they are the best team in this league for maximising their advantage in this league. What they have that Ulster don't is the nous to deprive teams of LBPs and to bag the TBP themselves.
Some show from ex-Ulsterman Tommy McSeymour.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
Re: Leinster 16/17
did I mention Wee Mads?
He is history now and plays in some foreign far away league that we know little of. Granted he seems to be doing well over there.
Carberry is the future for Leinster once Jonny hangs up his boots in 2020.
Baggy is correct. Leinster has a conveyor belt of players. This is largely due to the dozen or so elite private schools for boys who run their rugby like mini-academies and present Leinster with the cream every summer. The question is why we don't get more out of it.
