@DublinAirport You could have a field day with the car rental companies

@BrianODriscoll @brettruganalyst There's no attempt to wrap with the left arm, the left arm is pointing back in contact, right hand on the ground, it's only when he goes through contact that he flails his arms forward to make it look like an attempted wrap

@AndyGoode10 Thinking of @jimhamilton4 during this difficult time

@AndyGoode10 @AllBlacks @RugbyPass Can't coach a tier one side for a year, so maybe Scotland or Wales?

[Rory Downes @Rory_Downes]

@StephenFerris6 Leinster are blessed to have individual brilliance to grind out wins because their nienaber defence is vulnerable and bleyendaal attack is lacklustre. We ain't seeing the full potential of this team yet

[Rory Downes @Rory_Downes]

@punishablepress @HollyCairnsTD care to elaborate on the data to support the facts? It would be interesting to see the figures

@ek_rugby He (Taylor) also dived in off his feet, sealing off the ball. Good try, though

@KevinBerge9223 @ballsdotie Bryson wouldn't get past the ropes 🤣

@lionsofficial @SkySports panel was great today! Nice to see people have a proper discussion and not afraid to have disagreements! Particularly Biggar (@TheRugbyPod) and @RonanOGara10 more of this please 🙏 #Lions2025

@andyday414 @yvonne_byrne A penalty try is awarded when foul play prevents a probable try. The ball was slapped down, there was a 2 v 1 on the inside, there's the foul play and the probability explained. I hope this helps 🙃

@EdwardJBH That's a hefty spend if correct, but that doesn't negate from the fact that most of the players are homegrown, which money can't buy. They bought in just 3 players, two of which have extended for another season.

@SaulOvah @Keith8959132460 That's not a bad shout actually...

😂😂😂😂

[Rory Downes @Rory_Downes]

@Keith8959132460 @SaulOvah Munster dominated Irish rugby for a long period, now Leinster are. Its cyclical. Its not all doom and gloom and the end of Irish rugby because one team are currently dominating

[Rory Downes @Rory_Downes]

@Keith8959132460 @SaulOvah Having a high volume of central contracts is a result of everything previously mentioned. Victims of their own success and all that! Every player learns and develops further from the big signings. Every province has brought in big names at some stage

[Rory Downes @Rory_Downes]

@pwalshnow 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Rory Downes @Rory_Downes]

@Keith8959132460 Stems from a great schools system who have taken it upon themselves to create a 'sub academy' like environment and also from club rugby who are all equally funded and also rely on self fundraising and the community as @SaulOvah mentioned

[Rory Downes @Rory_Downes]

@brettruganalyst Top class! Could be handed man of the match already

[Rory Downes @Rory_Downes]

@tommytalksrugby Yeah perhaps
