@rugbyphilosophy I believe the bigger issue is the hate outside of the game itself, glee, accusations and insults towards losing and winning teams is what drives content but equally drives defensiveness and arguments. It happens to all teams and fans have to take on the blunt of it.
@EmilyMaher11084 Agreed, I guess my point is that Ireland aren't far off, we were missing numerous first choice players, I still think Ireland are much better than what we saw in that game.We were a couple of missed passes to a completely different game. SA in Nov is the real litmus test for me
@haribaldijones@rugbyphilosophy Right, I just seen Alan quinlan on virgin state that coaching is fine, if the referee is correct, but if they are wrong and players have the right to jackal and still told to leave it, that is the issue. Ireland had the legal right to go for the ball but still told to leave it.
@el__pollo__loco@Goh3000@CorkGourmetGuy It seems most fans prefer Doak over casey yet farrell still insists on casey. Its so frustrating, equally fintan Gunn has so much potential, and he won't see green until after the world cup I suspect. Joshua Kenny the same, can you imagine Kenny and balacoune on each wing?
@insiderugbymark A bit unfair, if Ireland turn up like they did against England and Scotland, that Eden park record is at risk. While we are missing our captain and winger, Ireland has enough to get the job done. If the Ireland that played france turn up, then you're right. I suspect the former
@Dreamchaser4132@ChalynRugby Ireland have a 100% win record over the boks in world cups and the last five games are 3-2 to Ireland, so perhaps a little respect? Pride before the fall. Not to mention your club sides.
@RTEsport Call me crazy but I think Ian Madigan would be a great coach or at least bring him into the coaching system. Very knowledgeable and has a calm presence that instills belief. Lets see how it all unfolds.
@GauthierBaudin Nonsense, its basically one set of fans as its very difficult for the bulls fans to fly up from south africa. So you're being a bit disingenuous.
@SportyGalV@IrishRugby@JamesLowe_03@VodafoneIreland@canterburyNZ Next season, leinster will have to pay 40% of all centrally contracted player salaries, instead of the usual 30%, leinster at one point had 11 from the total 14, so they are cutting salaries to budget, the extra cash going to the other 3 provinces. Its a disaster.
@NickH4230076284@IrishRugby@JamesLowe_03@VodafoneIreland@canterburyNZ Because the other 3 provinces were complaining and now leinster have to pay 40% of centrally contracted players instead of 30%, leinster at one point had 11 from 14. As predicted last year, all 4 will now become average instead of the others rising.
@Coach_Bradley91@Eoin778330@UlsterRugby Ignore him mate, everyone in Leinster was cheering on Ulster, and as a Leinster fan, I feel a bit down they lost, Ulster weren't themselves, the heat got to them. Still proud of the Ulster boys. Keep the head up. They are much better than what we seen tonight.
@MathiasSalaman1@Trenace762@VoicesofWW2 Which treaty are you referring to? Cause Churchill murdered 1300 French sailors and destroyed many ships just after the French surrendered. So not sure the UK cared about any treaty or loyalty. Just the destruction of Germany.
@MathiasSalaman1@Trenace762@VoicesofWW2 France and Britain wanted war with Germany, they used poland as the excuse. If they cared about poland why didn't they declare war on thr soviet union since they both invaded.
@Tom_Tucker08@rava_ian Ulster should win, as for leinster, I think we can beat UBB, but depends on Cullen and his approach and team selection. If he gets it right, we shouldn't fear UBB, leinster have a 90% plus performance in them and it might come in the final.
@leinsterrugby@bankofireland While I'm disappointed with tonight's result, I'm going to remain positive. For years, leinster have won the unimportant games and lost the important ones. Perhaps this loss will give them that extra 1% against RCT that they might not have had ,had they won.A blessing in disguise
