    That Benneton player had been cleared out. No way that's a pen to them.

    Ref has had very little help from his assistants.

    Henshaw - "world-class" says the co-commentator. We must use this term for our players more than any other nation. Really bugs the **** out of me.

    Hattrick in your first game of the season.

    Not bad.

    Strangely I think he's had great help from his assistants....

    The amount of French you are hearing in the commentary is testimony to that I think

    We've been the better side throughout, but I don't think we've been great either. There needs to be a significant improvement of we're to beat Lyon.

    He has needed a shout more than a couple of times from the side he couldn't see and it never came.

    Bennetton were a threat throughout the game, they were probably helped a little bit with being allowed away with murder at the breakdown, but we struggled to stop them from getting over the gain line and gaining that extra metre or so after the tackle at stages.

    I know it's been said so many times, but Kelleher is just tacking on performance after performance to his list, he was a shoe-in for MOTM if it wasn't for Ringrose putting in a top class performance.

    In Ireland, we hand out our world-class accolades in round 1 of the Champions Cup V Benneton. But noticeably such descriptive terms are absent during the World Cup itself when they are actually merited and earned

    Ringrose was probably our best player in the world cup. One of the few who do themselves justice. So I've no idea what you're getting at.

    You haven’t posted in rugby for 3 months and when you do it’s to bitch and moan about the World Cup.

    We’ve done all that, you missed the party.

    Ringrose is one of few who did themselves any justice in the World Cup and is up there among the best 13s in the world.

    If you want to discuss the World Cup head over to the ireland thread, plenty of people still b*tching and moaning on that thread

    While I don’t agree with him bringing up the World Cup or using it as an argument, he does have a point about calling either of them world class.
    They would be the first names in on the Irish team sheet if that was the case. I do think Ringrose can still become our world class player.

    I thought our front row were excellent in open play today. Healy and Kelleher carried extremely well and Porter was used as a passing option quite a lot. He sucked I'm two tacklers then passed out out the back to set up a try.

    It doesn’t bother me. I was only giving an opinion.
    If you think both are world class players that’s fine by me.

    You can't green-light the descriptive term "World-class" and in the same breath demand I shut down World Cup conversation. You guys are embarrassing yourselves here using the word "World Class"

    You haven't addressed the fact about Ringrose being our best performer at the World Cup tho.

    You're in the Leinster thread. Leinster don't play in the world cup.

    If you have an issue with "world class" being used in TV coverage, head over to London and talk to the BT lads about it.

    Manuel Diana Olaso was Uruguays best player at the World Cup. Whats that got to do with World-Class?
