Leinster v Sharks is a great watch

cracking game. both sides at a level Munster can only dream of

Dan Sheehan is some player lads. Thought he was class again last night. Him and kelliher will be having some battles for the Irish no 2 Jersey for the next 5 or 6 years and maybe more

Sheahan is probably ahead just now.
Andrew up north is always reliable.



Anyway that’s the emerging tour done, let’s never speak of it again

Connacht doing great until it's time to make a decision. They could be within a point on another pissing wet Galway night.

Edit: Carty is still shit.

Good win for Ulster. The fuckers have also signed Kitschoff for next season. Must have photos of Nucifora

I think Tom Ahern can feel hard done by, McCarthy seems to be the flavour of the month but he was giving away a lot of penalties in the emerging tour and even got carded, he’s constantly at it and needs to buck up in that regard.
Stockdale is haunted also.

I’d have preferred them to got for Barron over Heffernan too, Heffernan has had enough shots and hasn’t really done anything.


Frawley at 10 is laughable when Leo almost refuses to play him there, Baird at flanker needs to stop too. JGP in without playing a game for Leinster this season, Doak continues his flying for.


So eh positives ... good for Nash and Otoole I guess.
