Re: Steward recruiting for new Lansdowne Road

err its by email, the date will be on that! That's easy then - if you reset your system date before you write the application it should have the older date on it when it arrives Err, the date has passed. Presumably they won't accept any more even if they're dated 50 years ago. Yes but if your mail ...

Re: The Leinster 'A' Thread

I presume Tomás O'Leary is the most experienced Munster Academy alumnus with 85 senior appearances, and obviously Keith Earls graudated summa cum laude and has made the first 38 appearances of what is sure to be a top flight career. Donnacha Ryan is a third and has made 62 appearances and Denis Hur...

Re: Leinster vs Cardiff Blues

How hard would it be to give us a hint of where players suddenly have disappeared to when squads are announced? An update on players injured in matches wouldn't go astray either. We got more information on the condition of Thom Evans than we did on Sean O'Brien and trying to get information about M...

Re: Munster Match is the 2nd april

Good Friday is not a public holiday in Ireland. Try telling my employer that it is... Exactly. It's Ireland's only Bank Holiday meaning employees are not necessarily entitled to a day off.

Re: IRFU thwart Leinster's bid to land Giteau as Sexton stand-in

I decided to keep it - obviously it's apt as you knew who I was talking about!!! Only by a process of elimination. He is actually a pretty solid player. Good passer.

Re: so, was it a try?

You are forgetting that the TMO is only there to decide if it is NOT a try. The idea is the attacker has scored according to the ref and it is then up to the TMO to disprove it. If it can't be seen, and the reason for this is not because it is likely held up by loads of bodies underneath, then the ...
