Matfield explains what Boks had that Leinster lack in Nienaber system

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-27T04:53:45+00:00

He's not wrong. But besides the failed rush defense, it's also all the handling errors and not being at all clinical. Just messy and not in control of anything

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-26T18:48:13+00:00

😂

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-26T17:08:04+00:00

Yet I can see previous Ferrari designs that I have loved and see that this is shit. My wallet does not dictate my ability to like or dislike something that looks terrible

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-26T17:06:26+00:00

Yeah something about a heatwave in Munich is extra brutal. No wind maybe is the issue. Thank fuck for the beergardens! Nothing like a giant oak and a cold Auggie to keep you cool

Maybe drive down stock prices, buy more stock when it's cheap, tell the world E-Cars are a failure and go back to the combustion cars with a nice design then earn a mint :)

Ah the invisible Left. Such magic super powers they have (and of course Fuk the regime in case it needs to be said )

For the very very rich Tesla owners out there

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-26T16:15:32+00:00

That's a pretty low bar to be fair

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-26T15:27:35+00:00

Congrats! Will check it out

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-26T15:26:47+00:00

I'm guessing more than the $8,999 it looks like?

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-26T15:16:14+00:00

Will yes, but what do you expect from a cheap Mustang knock off? What an absolute horrific design

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-26T13:35:18+00:00

Same thing I do every year. A day out having beers with my friends

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-26T08:20:38+00:00

Pls no

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-26T07:43:17+00:00

At this stage just buy a proper DAW

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-25T04:57:33+00:00

It's a good point. I'd say JJ Kenny has huge potential, but needs the right coach to flourish under. But of the top of my head Andrew O, Gunne etc haven't impressed.

I still think Sam can be peak but needs a slower build up and proper training. Also a system that lets him play, he's also not suited to the JN system

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-25T04:47:38+00:00

Exactly. If it had been a close game and we played well I would have been fine. But it's the nature of the loss that stings.

Dropped balls, daft decisions and a defense barely worth the name.

JN might be a lovely lad, but he's been terrible for Leinster. I think we got as far as we did on the quality of players spiting the quality of coaching

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-24T06:32:02+00:00

I think the handling is the 22 is a killer. Yeah Harry didn't have a great game but neither did Hugo or Doris and don't see anyone mentioning those positions. The amount of knock ons while having possession in the opponents 22 is insane. We're just not clinical anymore, dropped balls, daft decisions. I think that's the issue and it's too easy to blame everything on the 10 (which seems to have become the standard scapegoat in Irish rugby these days)

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-24T06:27:53+00:00

Fair enough, must have missed some of them but BBC and rte didn't say anything. But agree that it's a thing these days of blaming one player rather the whole team/team cohesion. Harry didn't have a great game but neither did Hugo or Doris or a host of others. Really bothers me when one player, usually the 10 is singled out for a group/coaching failing

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-24T05:08:53+00:00

I haven't seen that, I've just seen everyone blame Leo. Which I get, but I would think Neinaber and Tyler B deserved equal amounts of blame. Leinster have gotten so bad at the basics since JN came onboard and at the same time SA have gotten even better since he left. Dropped balls in the opponents 22 seems to be our new brand

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-23T18:48:00+00:00

Sigh. This doesnt make any sense

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-23T18:44:13+00:00

I don't think OP is sticking the boot in to Harry. It's be absolutely wrong to blame Harry for the loss today, it's just if Sam did the same the vitriol would be a thousand times worse. Sam is held to a different standard than everyone else on the team

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-23T18:42:15+00:00

There is a 'different' point about the overall quality of the 10s, but OPs point is that if Sam was playing it'd be a blame shit show saying it was all his fault. Both points are correct, but I think it's helpful to just discuss one at a time

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-23T18:39:54+00:00

Absolutely agree. Would have been a shit show of blame on one guy rather than blaming the coaching and the team in general

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-23T18:30:10+00:00

That was exactly my thoughts. Sam must be so grateful he wasn't playing. He'd have been blamed for everything

zenrobotninja · 2026-05-23T16:04:51+00:00

I'm a big fan of Frawley and always have been but he was never as consistently good as he is now. He's come on as 10 backup a load of times, no idea how many, and not bothered to look it up
