Gavin Hegarty

Tommy O’Brien is a class act! Always hungry. Culhane great also.

Harry Byrne is again failing to live up to the hype unfortunately and will most likely be overtaken by prendergast soon enough.

Where has Tector gone?

(reply to Gavin) Peter Tracey

he’s still training away Gav. Just Prendergast has moved ahead of him. Deegan doing a Ruddock and all the dirty work that’s not seen.

Need to develop a 9 for me with McGrath injured and only JGP for big games. Foley did well last season but trying too hard this season so far with his kicking game. Just do the basics. Murphy had a good passing game when he came on. Best to do it now in these games and at least they’re getting experience. Boyle did well. Another area we need to develop.

Odran John O’Brien

Great outing again for Jack Boyle he’s getting better every game

Christy O’Connor

The game was riddled with mistakes from both sides. Very sloppy passing at times, we gave away some very cheap tries. In the end it was a good win. Barron was motm for me.

Richard Kennedy

Very happy with that. Bonus secured by 51 mins against a team stacked full of Scottish internationals. A young team getting quality game time.


Alan Murphy

I seemed to have watched a different game to most posts – we sit on the 22. Our line-out was a shambles, we gave away 3 scrum penalties and handling was really poor. Lots of weak shoulders for Edinburgh’s tries. Great win but really poor game.

Christy O’Connor

Hard to make anything of this with such young team that was put out. It’s a learning curve, more than anything. Glasgow deserved the win

Dave Murray

Lots of soft scores leaked. Can only get better as the weeks go on 🤞🤞🤞

Craig Grehan

Lack of ruthlessness and aggression.

Frawley should’ve been at 10.

Or Prendergast …

We didn’t use the backs enough when we hit the 5m line and got punished by sloppy rucking.

Tackles were soft at times.

Chris McDonnell

Cant play rugby with a 10, 12, 13 and not a single one prepared to make a tackle. We created very little with the ball and how many times do we have to lose scores from boxkicking. Lineout was good, scrum was awful.

Bert McLoughlin

We were well outplayed at times but not giving a try without conclusive evidence was a turning point

Jamie Donohoe

Evans the Referee was absolutely shocking & completely incompetent.

That said Leinster leaked a lot of soft scores

Jamie Bermingham

Defence was very poor today and we had a number of chances on the Glasgow try line and let them slip. The decision to not allow Turners try was shocking as there was no solid evidence he was in touch, in fact it looked like the Glasgow player was keeping him in play

Josephine Boyd
Fantastic performance from our boys in green a great win ☘️💚🏈💪💪👍👏

Alastair McDermott
You have to be a little bit worried playing New Zealand in the quarterfinals. But just think: they are shitting it facing Ireland.

Angela Cassin Jackson
Simply brilliant ☘️☘️☘️

Christy O’Connor
What a performance, every player played their part. Ringrose was motm for me but so many put their hands up.
Scotland were giving too much respect before this game by so many pundits. Was never in doubt

Kevin Kelehan
Dan Sheehan was superb

Antoinette Nevin
Zombie 👏👏👏👏

Hubert Gallagher
Scotland outclassed. Hopefully injuries not too serious to Hansen, Lowe, Furlong and Ryan. 1 week to prepare for ABs! Another huge step up!

Thanks be to jaysus we have 2 weeks off Let’s get everyone together for all the games going forward. That was magic. Our parents / grandparents never had that moment. 


Andrew Potts

It was some match, take a few days to process that one.

Amazing SA power and physical

ity and amazing resilience by Ireland. Cough up 6 lineouts and not looked phased by big South African forwards.


Kevin Kelehan

Ireland made so many mistakes, but they have a clear winning mentality, between O’Connell and Farrell you have the two parts of winning, coolness and passion.


Pieter Smit (SA fan)

Well played Ireland. Deserved winners
