Well at this stage Foote has had and blown his chance, time for someone else. When you hear first hand the communication break down early in the season with players, his not the man for the job.

I can spend a Sunday afternoon tuned into SuperSport Rugby, they do 30 min of every game from the URC, Super Rugby, ENG prem all day. Great way to catch up on games for me. Kids don't normally allow it to happen though.

I'd still end up at games, and renew when the club does the right thing and gets a better coach.

So that was poor, if Foote is Rebels coach next year I will not be renewing my memberships.

If Eloff leaves it won't be for another Aussie side, I'm sure his manager would be receiving some big money offers from France as his the type of prop they love. Big with a big engine and no international commitments.

No need to rush a 20yo prop, you wouldn't know if his upto it or not anyway. His still growing

Probably the strongest Rebels team we have seen this season.

Hey shiggins, next time the Rebels get flogged. Please remember that none of us came in and dug in. After last week we could all be hear digging in with embarrassing comments etc. No more, I get you hate us. You have every reason to. But time to move on with your negative crap in our match...

16.5 actually

I was 18, so a kid who was allowed to drink. Also remember that the weekend of Aus v Ireland in Melbourne was big, International rules (that AFL/GAA crap) was Friday night at the MCG, Rugby Sat and Melbourne Cup the Tuesday.

I remember in 03 going over to Adelaide for a weekend and it was pumping for a small country town, Australia v Namibia was on Sat and Ireland v Argentina on the Sunday. They had to order a emergency supply of beer from Melbourne as they were running dry on Sat. Went to the Ireland game, $10...

The biggest crowd at Suncorp in 03 was 48k, what was the capacity at the time? I know docklands is 56K with standing tickets. Biggest crowd at the stadium other then UFC is the Lions tours in 2013 and 2001.

Love how they carefully left out Australia v Ireland 54k,NZ v Italy 41K, England v Samoa 50k from the list

It got a mention on Gold 104 in Melbourne this morning, doubt MMM would mention it.

It's a good question, I think the Aviva ownership has a lot to do with it. It's shared ownership with the FAI rather then sole ownership like it did in the past. The operational cost on a stadium must be scary, as an apartment building manager the numbers spent yearly on required servicing is...

IRFU control everything with regards the 4 teams, but Leinster do seem to have the strongest squad and defiantly now have the best academy system. I don't think they pay more then French or English clubs, but they do manage players workload a hell of a lot better.

Jealous

Munster has only lost 5 Heineken Cup games in Limerick over 25 years, their something special in the Limerick water because that record is unheard of.

I think NZ having more teams would be a good thing, they will tell you they can't afford it.

Nope, Leinster is a level above. Have some food talent coming through but a long way to go. Toulouse are lucky the game was in Dublin, in Limerick a game that tight would only go one way.
