Neither does Paul Marshall but they let him go to all the games.

In fairness, the only way that Paul Marshall resembles a scrum half is in looking like one.

Leinster to win 30-0 after the Ulster side don't emerge from the changing rooms because they're terrified of the absolute dominance.

How come we only manage to score 30 points despite no opposition?

That's what happens when you've two Kearney's in your backline.

I hate myself for typing that but you left the door so wide open.

This is funny because I was actually going to post the exact same thing.

I did post it to make awec cheer up a bit in fairness.

30-0 is a walkover!

Although it actually reminds me of a true story that happened in the 4th test last summer when Ireland played South Africa secretly in Tokyo. This wasn’t a very well known match so you probably missed it.

The Irish lads had been having a tough season and they really weren’t feeling like playing. They realised that South Africa are truly terrible rugby team and so they thought they’d prefer to go on the piss in Tokyo, so they turned to their talisman James Ryan and Luke McGrath said

“hey James, this is all a bit too easy for you so I think what we should do is let you play the Boks on your own while we go for a few drinks.”

Ryan agreed so they whole squad went out for a few drinks in a pub in Tokyo. Being Tokyo the game wasn’t televised, so the lads had to keep track of the game via teletext. They had a few drinks and got the bar man to check the score, it was 7-0 to Ireland after 15 minutes, Ryan had scored under the posts. They had a few sakes in his honour and they lost track of time.

After a few hours Luke McGrath remembered that poor Ryan was still at the stadium. The lads checked on the score and the game had finished 7-7. The lads were ecstatic that one man on his own had managed to draw with the Boks, even if they’re terrible at rugby. So they went to the stadium with a few drinks for him. They found him in the dressing room feeling miserable for himself.

“What’s up James, how could you be feeling bad, you just drew an international rugby match on your own!” said Luke.

“Ah yeah,” said Ryan, “but I got sent off after 20 minutes”

Lights out for Reid.

Nice to see the two captains getting 'friendly' early on

mfceiling

Jesus early days but Cairns is a crisp passer.

Clegg

Bowe looked so slow chasing that ball.

ongarite

Reid off for HIA, Lamour on.

Rodney Ah You looks useful, if he could be consistently this good surely he's worth calling into the Ireland camp again.

Commentators are absolutely useless. I don't mind their bias but they're just not competent.

Byrnes ball....Stockdale says no

class by stockdale

Reckon James Ryan's game is over.

Took a knock to the head then fell down twice when trying to get up.

Diabhal Beag

Stockdale was like a spoilt child holding on to that crossfield. Super defending from him.

ScrubsfanChris

Jeez, Leinster butchered that

A-Train

Brainless kick there

vienne86

Ah so nearly wonderful with the cross kick.

Ryan off......pheck.

Hastentoadd

what was gibson-park thinking. that said stockdale continues to impress

vienne86

Reid staying off......Jezuz what a start.

The Rape of Lucretia

Weh-haaaaaaaaaaaaay !
The Schmidtster!

Dire from Leinster not to finish that. Really poor composure.

JGP with the wrong decision to kick also.

Great contest between Byrne and Stockdale.

Ferris is never going to have a career outside of Ulster if he can't find some ability to detach himself from his Ulster career. It's disappointing because he makes plenty of good observations otherwise.

Great play by Tracey

Interesting fact....Jim Neilly actually commentated on the very first interpro derby 140 years ago.
