The IRFU's stellar record of giving coaches a new deal prior to the World Cup continues.


What could go wrong.

 

[How bad boy]

2 year extension for Andy, up to 2025

Jesus, why do the irfu do it every fricking time?
Hopefully there's a "this Sexton gamble had better fucking work cause you've stuck all your eggs in that basket" clause.

Ireland are going to find it very, very difficult to get past the quarters.


Giving Farrell a new deal on the basis of the feelgood factor after a win in the southern hemisphere ( albeit a record breaking one) is daft.

Heineken cup final nearly sold out in Lansdowne road next May.


Got two tickets on the very remote chance we make it. Probably be a good game either way as long as its not two French sides.

Looks like NZ really are that average, puts the win in perspective...

The RFU banned transgender women from competing in female contact games after evidence showed “advantages in strength, stamina & physique brought about male puberty arevsignificant & retained even after testosterone suppression”.

Id imagine the IRFU are conscious of being sued into penury for injuries

They really had no choice. While I am fully in favour of trans equality, there is no physical equality if someone has transitioned from male to female.

It's ludicrous. It's good to see some pushback from sporting bodies.

Player safety has to be the priority.
