              Can't believe he's only 30!

              Can believe he's injured.

                      I watched bits of Leinster v Castre the other day. Leinster looked pretty good except for their halfback, who barely looked club standard. Pot Hale is he their usual bloke? he was fucking terrible, and stifled so many attacks.

                          Luke McGrath, yeah he is their first choice. Superb athlete but his skills lets him down. They've been spending a few years trying to upskill him and overall he mixes the good with the bad but imo his basics are not good enough and it often leads to error ridden performances. He is probably Ireland's 3rd choice in that position!

                              I see Munster have signed three players from English Premiership and Top 14 clubs for next season - James Hart, scrum half from Racing 92 and formerly Grenoble, Chris Farrell from Grenoble, and JJ Harrahan moves back from Northampton to his old province.

                              Good signs to see all three are Irish-born/qualified.

                                    Apparently DC has been caught driving almost twice the legal limit and not carrying a licence.

                                    Surely this is Steve TEw and NZ Rugby's fault too?

                                      Yawn. I'm sure this will give the media reason to bore us with click bait for the next few weeks.

                                          To be fair this is a club that was plying the players with booze before kick off a month ago...

                                          For all the 'better people make better All Blacks' stuff a surprising amount of core ABs from Henry/Hansen have been involved in off field stuff.
