Re: Clear out the coaching staff en bloc and start anew

I honestly think the club are at its lowest point in the professional era The whole club needs a shake up from top to bottom. First of all Simon Cohen needs to go closely followed by Tom Youngs who has become a liability. Any senior players who are showing dissent need to be shown the door. Mauger h...

The Players need to stand up.

The level of basic skill and commitment from some is dreadful. There have been too many examples to cite them all but that dropped ball by Tait was the icing on the cake. Why was he even trying to catch it !!!!! The coaches can do all they can but that 1st half performance they would be losing to a ...

Re: JP Doyle

It was that nice Mr Barnes that first bought the offence to his attention. I must admit when they showed the conversation it looked like Wayne was running the show

Re: DOR aspirants, then?

Leinster looked fabulous against an admittedly awful Montpellier last night.
There's some English bloke coaching there at the moment. Can't remember his name though :smt031 :smt026 :smt023

Re: Marler Broken leg

Certainly going to test EJs forward resources with 5 1st pick forwards currently injured, Both Vunipolas, Kruis, Robshaw and potentially Haskell, and Marler joining the list. Also has to be some uncertainty about Hartley

EJ must have been impressed with Ellis on Sunday against an international tight head

Re: Robshaw out of the 6 Nations

Agreed Itoje will move to 6, potentially his best position. I think The Lions will look to play him there, plenty of depth at 2nd row, not so much at 6

Re: Harry Thacker

I really must be watching a different game to most others! I thought he cost us the game with a shockingly poor pass that gifted Wasps possession that Cole ended up being carded from. His wasn't the only bad pass, as the old adage goes you don't ship s**t. Other than that he looked useful. As for C...

Re: Parling takes head knock v Saracens

I do worry that with young Maxwell Keyes in charge this afternoon there will be a few cards for both sides. Remember him sending Hughes off wrongly for treading on North Treading? Do you mean the incident where Hughes went in knee first NZ style when it was clear he couldn't prevent a try? No I mea...

Re: Lancaster at Welford Road

Some people need to drag themselves screaming pat the world cup and look at the work Lancaster is currently doing at Leinster I think what he's doing at Leinster as a coach is jolly good. As soon as we have a vacancy for a coach who reports to the Head Coach who reports to the Director of Rugby, we...

As stated at half time the word accidental no longer exists when adjudicating on high tackles and head collisions

Re: Parling takes head knock v Saracens

A certain amount of sympathy for the officials who are having to deal with this major shift in emphasis mid way through the season. Exactly the same incident next week and I think it would be 2 reds..
Tempest did ask his colleagues if anyone disagreed with him and none of the 3 others spoke up
