Watch: Akira Ioane turns on Man of the Match performance for the Blues

Akira Ioane now has 4 tries to his name this season and is building nicely ahead of All Blacks selection for the 3 match series against France in June. The massive 22 year old was named Man of the Match for the Blues on the weekend, and it’s easy to see why.

Stormers player ratings vs Lions | 2025/26 URC

Some of these ratings a bit generous lol. Great second half but some really poor errors from a number of players

Ireland are at a crossroads - will they ever make a World Cup semi-final?

Is it possible? Yes it is. Is it probable? No it is not. Just like Wales, Ireland has had a good few years but that cannot last if you cannot replace outgoing players with the same or better. Most Irish supporters will be up in arms at this statement but it is the truth.

Kenny is a natural. That try was a lot better than it looked. If the Ulster player had his time he would have waited to make sure Kenny was coming infield. A hint of hesitation was all Kenny needed.

I was close to the Leinster lads warm up. Prendergast missed nothing in the warmup. Once the whistle blew, as you say, unsettled. Harry Byrne is a different story however. Calm and authorative. Even at 12 yesterday he was able to move Leinster around and into scoring positions.

I was at the match. Not sure I agree that Ulster had that game won. Leinster came back very strong to overtake them even with the Ryan sin bin. The decision not to kick the 3 to go 10-5 up was just bizarre. The strategy was to win the match conclusively in the second half, Harry Byrne would have had the authority to take the 3 there as he did wisely versus Leicester. 2 mins later Kock was scoring a try down the other end leading to a 7-17 H/T score. 10-5 and its very hard for Ulster.

Last year Leinster were slow to get going until later in the Champions Cup when they were steamrolling teams before being ambushed by Northampton. They are missing the subtely of Jordie Barret in the backline.

Springboks rule the skies as access law leads to more kicking

I think that type of analysis can be really useful - there’s just better people out there. Squidge, and especially Wibble Rugby on Youtube are much better IMO at understanding trends rather than just hyperfocusing on the minutiae.

'To lose one Welsh captain is unfortunate; to lose two might be considered a bit careless'

The only future for Welsh rugby is for all four regions to join the Prem. as they shd have done 30 yrs ago.this wd restore old rivalries and increase the fan base and sponsors and cut travel costs. The Prem wd then have a better product to sell to broadcasters.

Bath it Bristol v Cardiff or Llanelliwill always be a sell out.

It feels like when Joe Schmidt’s end date as an international coach looms, performance levels drop. It happened with Ireland in 2019 and it’s happening now with Australia.

Interesting observation Mitch. And it feels more like a rupture than a smooth handover doesn’t it?

There are clear signs of decline GVF. The squad depth is still top shelf and they are churning out young talent - look at JJ Kenny on the wing - but the top crust is deteriorating…

Wtih another season of self-belief under their belts, Ulster had that game won P.

Nienaber is an excellent coach but he’s trying to get Leinster to use the Springbok formula and it does not suit them.

Rieko Ioane scores first Leinster try in comeback while Cardiff suffer shock

I was at the Leinster-Ulster match.

I was at the Havelock Square end very close to where the Leinster guys were warming up. Prendergast did not put a kick wrong in the warm up. During the match he hardly got a kick right. He was an consistently outstanding kicker underage. Confidence is gone. When the scoreline went 17-7, I started to wonder if it would turn into a match where one team dominated possession but the other scores from every turnover. I actually felt if Ulster won that match by more than a score that Leo Cullen was gone.

LRZ’s reputation appears to outpace the depth of substance supporting it.

Pat Lam blasts 'archaic' process that lost the All Blacks Tony Brown

I think it’s funny how TB is being pined for when the narrative coming out of the land of the long white lies at the time was that Razor was the best coach the world had yet to see on account of his winning 7 SR trophies.

I think Heyneke Meyer won one and it helped him f-ckall.
