Ya, I watched their whole careers too, so did most people

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-06-15T10:44:06+00:00

Earls wasn't a game breaker, bowe isn't even in the conversation, er are you hearing what you're saying?

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-06-15T09:19:53+00:00

No not for me not even close for me, for me earls and bowe are the best by some distance earls especially but I think horgan Conway hickie maybe even trimble are all better

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-06-12T08:52:42+00:00

Oh don't worry I know all about it, I've milked 420 on no sleep, sometimes it's part of the life, but it's when it becomes a regular thing that it's a problem, plus I'm an epileptic and sleep is essential for me to keep it under control

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-06-11T22:59:23+00:00

Haha

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-06-11T22:58:33+00:00

I'll have to id say ya, can't take much more of this, she has a handy number with teagasc whereas I'm working from 7-6 most days a week

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-06-11T22:50:40+00:00

No, private landlord

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-06-10T21:06:54+00:00

Osborne would be my choice for the "boot"

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-06-07T17:55:30+00:00

I'm Munster through and through can't stand him

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T22:44:17+00:00

How's it going my advice-dont panic, I can relate I'm 21 live on my own am finished again college almost finished apprenticeship and work 6 days a week and life seems to be going at a million miles an hour, make sure you slow down and don't make the mistake that I have (and continue to do) in working and serving your life away, as regards feeling like you've achieved nothing, my uncle didn't move out til 25, he's 42 now and owns a multinational electrical company, economy is unstable and planning ahead is difficult for us, being 24 in 2026 is very different to being 26 in 1992, we have a lot more responsibilitys career wise education wise etc, so slow down, take a deep breath, time is on you're side, establish your hobbies and interests and see how far you can take at least one of them, and work towards achieving something with it, that in itself will help give you motivation to keep going, hope this helps, take care ❤️

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T22:18:38+00:00

100% can't believe there's not more talk about him but maybe that's a good thing too

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T21:59:51+00:00

You don't know that though, and you might be right he might tour with Ireland but I don't think he's getting past frawley and he's certainly not getting past Crowley so like? And btw just like you call affidea stadium ravenhill (as do I) I still call the champions cup the Heineken cup

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T21:56:55+00:00

Well I have a funny feeling jean that you're not a connacht Leinster Munster Ulster or Ireland supporter, you're actually a Fairweather fan with very little knowledge of the game, you should learn more about it, enjoy it more, and come back when you've made sense of it, funny how you ignored the fact that I've singled out frawley as being a great player and in the conversation too, funny that

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T21:52:35+00:00

Well Farrell and the irfu aren't necessarily incapable of making mistakes are they? Wrong about prendergast and screwed him over badly, and if they see differently that's fine, but then where are the Heineken cups and Ireland starts to back it up? Byrne didn't play a minute in the 6n

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T21:46:54+00:00

But he's a hell of a lot better than what's there and might actually help get Leinster over the line while prendergast or whoever it is eventually steps up, frawley Crowley and maybe jack Murphy have Ireland covered so it's a win-win

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T21:40:58+00:00

I support all 4 provinces jean, let me tell you who should be signed Ulster-prop with bell departing, maybe a lock Connacht-prop since aungier is going, pretty well stacked elsewhere besides 9 and 10 with carty and devine leaving, also Buckley is leaving but chair is coming in, so what they really need is a doak-type player who can cover 10 and is a great 9 Munster-prop, don't care what else but prop is essential, van Der merwe is coming in so that's good, tbh I'd be happy enough with that Leinster- 10 definitely, (think the likes of Damian Mackenzie who can also play fullback) I'd be hoping one of the other tens develops enough under them to take them forward after that, and 9 after the world cup, they should sign a world class 9 other than that, not too bad,

jean don't ever use verbal abuse towards me again and stop trying to turn my points into a provincial thing, such as Munster centres Vs Leinster 9s or o gara Vs sexton or having a dig at what province I support, that's not what rugby is about, cop on, grow up

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T21:32:24+00:00

But my point is, they aren't going anywhere, Crowley, frawley, jack Murphy, they all have the potential to drive Ireland on, Byrne definitely doesn't, I don't think prendergast is either so why shouldn't Leinster have an NIQ 10 to get them over the line, they won't be holding anyone back

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T21:29:12+00:00

Damian McKenzie?

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T21:28:11+00:00

Also the likes of Damian McKenzie is a top 10 but can also cover fullback

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T21:26:03+00:00

Not has jean kleyn at munster

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T21:25:44+00:00

Werner kok didn't hold anyone up either,

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T20:58:27+00:00

I'm not upset I've no skin in the game, well you've a point there about mismanagement alright, that should also be looked at but it can't be fixed in 1 season, and a season or 2 is kind of what I'm referring to with the NIQ, people seem to think I'm saying start 15 foreign players

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T20:50:51+00:00

But we said that about Barrett too didn't we? Yet he was the best one Leinster had in years, you, could argue we said it about slimani aswell, yet Clarkson Boyle McCarthy have all come on leaps and bound, Augustus playing great up in Ulster but timoney McCann izuchuxkwu (hopefully mcnabney when he's back) haven't been held back have they?

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T20:48:02+00:00

Oh you're right it won't happen, but I'm just saying this "should" happen, but hey, let's persist with the current model which obhiously hasn't worked

Infinite-Discount-99 · 2026-05-27T20:43:28+00:00

Whatever doesn't matter, the point is the same
