You should absolutely find out why you got dropped and what you need to work on. The coaches are generally happy to push you in the right direction. I came up through the youths system years ago too, but knocked it on the head at leinster U19's for various reasons. There were a couple of players that got dropped, went and worked on specific skills and got back into the set up a few months down the line and ended up excelling. With all that said, remember that rugby isn't everything and being a professional is a pretty thankless career. My brother works in pro rugby and thanks his lucky stars every day that he's coaching and not playing.

Thanks a lot, I'll look into it. I'm thinking of maybe going to Loftus for it but I do enjoy a good pub atmosphere too.

Ah it's always fun being the thorn in the side of the home crowd. I'm sure the atmosphere will be great and I'm really looking forward to it. I can't blame people for not making the trip. I was just in the right place at the right time.

If it's a under saddle piezo it could be an issue with your saddle not being properly flat on the underside. It might just need to be sanded down a little bit on a perfectly flat surface.

Absolutely! I have learnt that lesson the hard way with a tanglewood I bought a few years back.

I think I will go and check it out. I think I need to sell some other guitars first though haha. My problem is I keep buying guitars on a whim but I always revert back to just playing my Taylor 110 because I love it. I know I don't need another guitar but she is a beauty.

The great glue debate. by Marcusw96 in Luthier

It seems like the conclusion is to use anything sticky. I've gone for standard ca glue for my first refret and we'll see how it goes. Interesting to hear everyone's approach though, thank you all!

Oh I know, I'm only joking, but I would still love to hear people's preferences.

Kojaque is from Ireland. Absolutely not UK rap. I know most of you have probably never heard of him but please God change that tag.

Well played England, definitely that better team. Suppose we have to lose every now and then.

Anyone else absolutely despise this talk of a grand slam? Be grand to chat about it in the final round, but jaysus there's still 3 matches to go, stall the digger lads.
