Huge win for Connacht today away to Sharks.

Leinster give Llanelli a predictable kicking

Deserved kicking too. Tried to drop Ringrose on his head 30 seconds into the game.

Lad from the Ospreys did it in tonight's game too. Only a yellow for both.
Between that and Basham's ban for the elbow their contribution to the league so far has been shithousing.

Irish rugby 'would be mad to say no' to Sexton the coach

IRFU performance director David Nucifora says recently retired Johnny Sexton could have a future coaching role within the Irish system.

way too soon for Sexton to get a high profile coaching job.

Surely a few years at club level like Rog would be the route for him
