    2012 Heineken Cup Final Preview

    Won't be a problem man, won't be posting anything again. It's not worth trying to convert some of the 1 eyed keyboard jockeys on this "forum".

    2012 Heineken Cup Final Preview

    Is anyone else wondering why there was a 6 month gap between my blogs ? Personally I can't wait for Psychic Duck to step down from his pedestal and actually write a blog, easy to criticise isn't it mate ? Bit different to grow the balls to actually write something. What facts have I got wrong...

    2012 Heineken Cup Final Preview

    Surely the whole point of a forum is to argue and discuss, some might even say it's the definition of forum; fo·rum/ˈfôrəm/ <tbody> Noun: <tbody> A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged. </tbody> </tbody> if you don't want...

    2012 Heineken Cup Final Preview

    Based what I've already said I've not nearly enough of Gilroy with ball in hand, cos he spends a fair portion of Ulster games chasing after kicks and freezing his ***s off. Already forgotten his Quarter Final try have you ? I assume you see him more as the Irish answer to Shane Williams...

    they can if they like, I think you've just discovered why I'm not a geography blogger, also do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a map of Irish counties (in England, I imagine there's a couple of them knocking about in Ireland) ?

    2012 Heineken Cup Final Preview

    & they can be an exciting team, but don't kid yourself the Dragons were bloody awful this season, my local minis would have scored some sexy tries against them (& I'm a Man of Gwent). But if you've been following my ealier comments when the pressure comes on Ulster shut it down and hardly use...

    2012 Heineken Cup Final Preview

    You mean Gilroy's "style" of running over pretty much everyone & being nearly unstoppable is not comparable to George North who, let me see now, does exactly the same ? I didn't mean they looked alike, Tim Visser & George North look alike, but there hardly similar.

    Best young players

    I do love Kvesic, there's a couple of contenders at 7 though, I love Luke Wallace @ Quins too (although he's not played of late) & I've heard Jamie Gibson from Irish is very Pocock- esque too, they've got Alex Gray too & Sam Jones at Wasps looks a very useful prospect, but they've both changed...

    Best young players

    There is a chance I'm gonna have too many to choose 1 team out of it ! lol I'd forgotten about Spencer (which is bad cos I wanted him in the England squad ! lol). Didn't realise Slater was just 23 tho. How much has Billy played ? I put Mako in, but that was just cos I've seen him on TV this...

    2012 Heineken Cup Final Preview

    I said 9 didn't ? :-P I didn't mean it in terms of not having good players, I think Gilroy's the new George North & I love Cave & Nevin Spence, but from the last few games I've seen when the pressure's on they seem to completely shut it down & go into their shell. If Ulster get it wide it'll...

    Best young players

    I'm thinking about writing a blog about the best XV young players in the Aviva Premiership, prefereably 24 and under (25 at a push). As you can imagine there are plenty of backs, but not as many forwards, so I thought I'd garner a bit of opinion, anyone seen any stand out youngsters playing...

    2012 Heineken Cup Final Preview

    The 2012 Final will be contested between two sides from the Emerald Isle, but their geographical location is really the only similarity between the teams. Ulster Rugby play their home games at Ravenhill in Belfast are the sole Northern Irish rugby province while Leinster Rugby play their home...

    Baabaas squad 26/11/11

    Holy Cow you wouldn't argue with that backline would you ? They've got some giant's in there & Adriaan Strauss can be a frightening ball carrier when he get's going too.

    RWC QF - Ireland Vs Wales

    RWC 2011 game preview – Wales v Ireland Wales have won their last 2 matches by an aggregate points total of 147 to 7 and yet they still go into this game as the bookmakers’ underdogs. Ireland’s victory over Australia in their second Pool C match meant that they topped the Pool, while Wales...

    the best XV NOT going to the RWC ?

    Never been a huge Kirchner fan, I've seen him play well but I've seen him get sin binned more & I've sometimes watched games & not known he was even on the pitch. From what I've seen of Januarie he could be on the list, but from what every1 seems to be saying he's obviously not that consistent...

    the best XV NOT going to the RWC ?

    Anywho the point of the thread was highlight just how many decent Internationals will NOT be at the World Cup, will this devalue the tournament ? Or is it just one of the factors that comes into play for a tournament that only happens once every 4 years ?

    the best XV NOT going to the RWC ?

    Sorry should have have put the " 'new CauCau' " in quotation marks, just to be clear. That's clearly not THE CauCau, but that IS Toulouse's new winger for this season & if he doesn't take CauCau's place then there's something seriously wrong.
