But this type of rugby does not serve the Irish team our Irish rugby in any way because near me on my side of pitch was a Messi type player James Lowe not overstating smart always talking to team mates and great lines of running thinks the game he got ball 3 times maybe a little more in first half each time something productive even though his teamates are not on same wave length once he got ball he gave to Tomane went around outside to line and into acres of space did he get ball back no Tomane kicked lenister scored a try after forwards bashing for another 5 min wasting energy give the ball in space Lowe would have gone through I feel .ME and my son were wishing he got the ball to give us a show . Every four years the southern teams win world cups while we and other NH teams quickly forget what happend at world cup build up or teams and players IN media and cycle happens all over again dont forget the media makes money by building up NH teams and players we need to fix it and getting or best players like Lowe more on ball would be a start and by the way Kelleher the hooker looks the real deal some say he is to young he not if you are good enough you are .

tryagain wrote: » An extract from one of todays papers by former rugby great When we came back from France in 2007 I had barely hung up my jacket before Rua Tipoki was playfully prodding me for not even getting a game for an Irish team that failed to get out of the pool. Tipoki repeatedly proclaimed Denis Leamy to be a national hero for securing the win against Georgia with his last-ditch tackle. No one was safe from the slagging; every mistake in training was another opportunity for a punchline. Maybe part of the problem with Irish Rugby .

Sweeping under carpet and not fixing problems and celebrating beating sorry destroying Connacht last night which squad includes a lot of players not wanted at leinster infact could by claimed that Connacht is a leinster/munster 3 team with a few SH thrown in to mix , to a degree Irish rugby has a serious problem so lets supply all other provinces with or castoffs and then go out and smash them and get our ass kicked every 4 years its not gelling well with me sorry for ranting.
tryagain wrote: » I see the problem focus on poster (me) and ignore the posts let me breakdown this down there is no rugby in Connacht zero how many Connacht born players on Connacht team .Ulster is getting fed by leinster also to a degree so is Munster for this sport to thrive it cant be Leinster feeding the rest of country with players .Leinster going out last night smashing a team with ex Leinster 2/3 team players is not good sorry for my raving but how can we fix .

Leinster isnt feeding the rest of the country, it simple produces more than it needs and the likes of Connacht picks up what Leinster discard. Interestingly for a province that supplies the whole country according to yourself Leinster had I think 7 "outsiders" in their original 23 - one of whom was born in Connacht. For the record Leinster were very good last night, really efficient. Arses handed on a plate to us. Bullied us out of the game completely no excuses here !
