France, in contrast, are in a downward spiral having finished their campaign with a draw and two defeats, and coach Philippe Saint-Andre has a lot of work to do. The French made a good start to this game and deservedly ... Read Article Ireland and... Full Article at Keo New Zealand
Leinster are almost impossible to score against. So the Ospreys ran for three phases and if nothing developed they kicked. This meant they were never exposed to turnovers and they were always pushing Leinster back. Of course Dan Biggar will have to kick... Full Article at Wales Online

Johnny Sexton is probably the best. Himself or Brian O’Driscoll, the two of them would probably be up there. You’d throw Paul O’Connell into that list as well
European player of the year Rob Kearney has put his latest accolade to one side to hone in on Leinster’s RaboDirect Pro12 final with the Ospreys. The full-back was immense for the crack Irish province as they became only the second team in history... Full Article at Wales Online

I think my confidence dropped a little after dropping a couple of high balls. As a full-back you’ve got to take them, no matter how much pressure you’re under. Watch Rob Kearney, for instance. I base my game on him because he’s unbelievable in the air.
But in better news for Leinster, they seem to have no new injury worries ahead of the final. Brian O'Driscoll underwent keyhole surgery a fortnight ago but played nearly a full 80 minutes against Ulster and should be fit, with Cian Healy and Rob... Full Article at Scrum.com
They had skills in abundance, from the electric footwork of Brian O'Driscoll and the all-action linking of scrum-half Eoin Reddan to the spring-heeled agility of Rob Kearney. They had power – from veteran lock Brad Thorn, adding yet another winners... Full Article at This is Bristol
Strauss from a Leinster breakout in the opening half would have done any of his colleagues behind the scrum proud. It reflects the manner with which Joe Schmidt has challenged and improved the handling skills of all his charges, including the likes of... Full Article at Irish Examiner

I always find that really funny. You say it to people and they say: ‘Oh, you can play rugby in front of 80,000 but you can’t hit a golf ball on the first’
I've been fortunate to win with Ireland at Twickenham and I know that you have to be on top of your game to get a result ... We are improving week on week and are happy with our set-piece, but we know England are strong there. They won't concede any soft tries, like Scotland did, either. We have to chas...
England is the one match we all love and it is the one, being Irish, you get excited for

If we’re there or thereabouts with 20 minutes to go, I think we’ll be in a really good place ... The French have a tendency at times to start dipping with 20 minutes to go, but it might not always be a situation where they’re in tight games.
