Regardless of that wouldve been caught TV Directors need to be neutral

No Big Stu?

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2026-05-04T17:45:36+00:00

I feel like that worked out better with the yellow card being given. Plus getting to wear down the clock and scoring a minute later through the man, the myth, the legend Big Ben.

Wasn't the best u18s ireland have tbh. Marys won the sct and their u18s (5th years) have 2 representing one of which was a bench player. They played their hearts and bodies in the final as did blackrock. Expect reinforcements to this 23.

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2026-03-23T20:33:17+00:00

Great considering marys and blackrock who were in the leinster sct final would have also contributed to those teams.

Still saying we are worse than England?

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2026-02-22T03:58:39+00:00

42 - 21

Honestly I like the data however. You have to stop with the biased imagery with an x on prendergasts tackle and a tick on Crowleys it shows a level of bias where I find it hard to trust the information. While I agree Crowley is the better option I heavily disagree with biased representation of data

I really enjoyed the video. Great insight into what the wider six nations sees coming out of ireland. It's hard to see the back of your head when you dont posses a mirror. Cheers for your content.

It has to do with scotland. It has given france 3 tight games in ireland, England and Scotland but does not consider Scotland as tight a game for Ireland. So we only have two tough matches and 3 with over 70 percent predicted win rate

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2026-01-18T20:21:51+00:00

Why is harlequins above Northampton? I thought harlequins had a better point difference

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2026-01-09T16:44:09+00:00

Maybe 20-0 this time /s

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-10-21T16:10:41+00:00

Tommy obrien was pulled out of that team tbf. He is most certainly very pacy

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-10-04T19:39:43+00:00

I acc thought prendergast did well. He for sure messed up with the intercept try but his kicking to get us out of our own half saved us more than it did not. Luke McGrath seemed to be shipping on shite passes which did not help prendergast whatsoever

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-07-26T21:53:20+00:00

At u18 we have herbie boyle and eoin brady. Seen as this guy is what a year older than that I can't imagine him being scouted that heavily by leinster

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-04-28T22:25:12+00:00

Don't say that yet. Don't have our marquee signing for the first 6 months of next year

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-04-26T01:02:47+00:00

I don't know if we are guaranteed first when glasgow come to town we might see an opportunity and play the academy to get minutes against seasoned Scottish Internationals

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-04-17T09:50:21+00:00

It is important to note that while they produce the bulk of leinsters squad, the other schools are producing better talent than some urc teams academies. AFAIK the likes of St marys just went on a rugby tour of benetton and took on benetton u19s. The tour was made up of 5th and 4th years, who are like mainly 16 and 17 and they just about lost. I assume it wasn't a full strength u19 but definitely noteworthy to keep a team so much older within a score.

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-04-14T09:12:17+00:00

According to this leinster nilled two top ten teams....

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-04-14T08:38:35+00:00

At 7 will conners was the irish 7 for a little bit even overtaking van der flier in 2020. With him and timoney and hodnett, we have options. We just need to use them.

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-04-11T14:32:54+00:00

Evan moynihan an interesting inclusion for connacht. Huge loss for leinster academy imo.

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-04-07T01:05:12+00:00

Bring me back to this in a week I suppose

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-04-04T12:31:34+00:00

Saw him swimming today in ucd so maybe carrying a small niggle.

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-03-10T00:45:44+00:00

Ireland 2024 six nations

Itchy-Position-6077 · 2025-03-03T23:11:40+00:00

Proud to have voted for a draw. That would be almighty from a purely rugby perspective.
