Leinster funding
From next season Leinster will have 10 players on central contracts. That is, all 10 salaries will be met by the IRFU. This also means that they have an awfully large amount of salary cap free which is presumably how they can afford Jordie Barratt. And who else might they draft in? The situation is ...

Will Edwards at Quins is looking for a new berth. He did pretty well when Smith was away with the WC.

I understand that Prem teams have sponsorship from Qatar? Airways.

Re: World Club Championship progressing
Rob Baxter throwing doubt on the whole idea. IF it is properly funded and organised and IF there is profit in it for the clubs then he's OK with it. But, if it's the usual suck it and see he foresees many problems. Having to arrange a quick flight to France, for instance, is costing the club 10s of ...

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
Relocating to another city's football ground did London Welsh no favours. Yep, or as it turned out, Irish when they moved back into London. I do wonder about the rigour of the "business case" that is made for these moves. Saracens started out recruiting South Africans not just because of ...

Players are booked on 8 different flights to get to Saints for next Saturday; some direct, some via Schipol. Simila...

Boot laces
I have been wondering in my (many) idle moments why it is that we see so many players having to re-tie their boot laces. I know that in days of old it could be used as a tactical move to give a breather or two but this feels different. People, and a lot of them, seem to be tying their bootlaces beca...

Re: Other European games - 05-07th April 2024
I've a sneaky feeling Saints might turn the Bulls over at the Gardens. Toulouse, Bordeaux and Leinster, I agree, will be the others.

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm
We were largely written off and so could, perhaps, play with a freedom not often seen. It proved to be worthwhile. As others have noted, take away the intercept and add in OHC's try and ... who knows. However, we are now back at the sharp end of the Premiership season. Will we resort to our earlier ...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm
Effort from the Tigers was excellent but the execution was often poor, panicky (look at OHC's butchered try). Confidence is the key. In our glory days, I remember Tigers being behind and the stadium being quiet. Johnno looked around, the fans perked up, the side perked up and the opposition trembled...
