📰 News & transfer rumours
⚠️ Sometimes just joking

Ireland were forced to make 240 tackles against New Zealand, the third highest total by any side across the round.

The All Blacks made 200 carries, twice as many line breaks, and ran in six tries. Relentless pressure at Eden Park.

Argentina’s players showing absolutely zero class after their 1–0 World Cup final defeat to Spain, confronting the Spanish players instead of accepting the result.

A terrible way to end the tournament. No surprise, really.

Another record falls for Will Jordan.

A loose Irish pass proved costly as Jordan crossed to become the first New Zealander to score 50 tries in Test rugby. Another remarkable milestone for one of the game’s most prolific finishers.

Argentina made 187 carries to England’s 100, but narrowly lost 31–24.

Even with four players sent to the sin bin, England still found a way to win. Clinical when it mattered most.

I understand the frustration of a late game decision, but getting in the faces of the referee and his assistants is completely unacceptable in any modern day sport. #ARGvENG

@AJ_Journo If he was always illegal then mitigation doesn’t apply? Seemed like it was never legal to begin with.

“No Jackal!” has been permanently burned into my brain

With James Lowe expected to leave Leinster this summer, we take a look at the contract situation, reported interest from Northampton Saints and France, and what it could mean for both Leinster and Ireland. 👇

[Sam Broderick @SamBroderick_]

With James Lowe expected to be leaving in the summer, it opens up a huge question for Leinster and then onto Ireland.

Who fills that left wing spot?

Will Jimmy O’Brien step up and make it his own? Could Joshua Kenny emerge and grab the opportunity? Or do Leinster move Tommy O’Brien back to the left wing, where he looked electric against England at Twickenham?

There’s no shortage of talent, but replacing a player of Lowe’s quality won’t necessarily be easy.

[Sam Broderick @SamBroderick_]

Big blow for Leinster.

With RG Snyman ruled out for the season, Ryan Baird could return at a crucial time.

[Leinster Rugby @leinsterrugby]

RG Snyman will be unavailable for the remainder of the season after suffering a ruptured ACL against Glasgow Warriors. Get well soon, RG! 💙

@Nic21121970 @lawlessj @UCC @IrishRugby Maybe because it was his long awaited Ireland debut after all his injuries he had been through already?

[Irish Rugby @IrishRugby]

Everyone in Irish Rugby sends their best wishes to Uini. A great competitor who always had a handshake and a smile after the game. We wish him well in his retirement.

@Caolan_Scully @UL Many congratulations, well deserved man!
