Have heard too many reasons why Ireland should walk this, but it's still away to Wales and we still have a tendency to play second rate Schmidt-ball. Think it'll be tight!

I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.

Sexton is out for the France game. Sounds even more like this year is theirs to lose.

And the prem has scrapped relegation for this year, but not promotion into it(?). Gloucester are saved. Someone is getting promoted despite the championship not playing. Presumably Sarries for "financial stability and the good of the game" or some bullshit.

Yeah league expanded to 13 teams


also:
"The RFU said promotion and relegation could be put on hold for "three or four seasons" as it reviews the calendar."

the start of ring fencing the league? :thunk:

I hope they just keep adding a team every year. Then they can have the season of death where 4-5 teams drop at the same time.

I'm not sure how you plan to beat Dupont and the rest of them but if some of those fringe players make the leap this will be a success for Ireland.

This keeps popping into my head. I cannot fathom what the hell he thought he was doing. Other options included.

1) Kicking into the in goal area to at least force a drop out.
2) Hanging onto the ball, taking contact, setting a ruck, kicking the ball out.
3) Passing to one of the multiple players in support to set up ruck as per 2.
4) Turning around and sprinting back towards the Wales line before running the ball into touch at 80.01 (at least this would have the element of surprise).

There is no doubt in my mind that Ireland would have won had they not hosed that penalty at the end.
