That money is put away for paying off Refs, Assistants, TMOs, ballboys and Nigel. Nigel gets paid most because he's best qualified to make it all look good and innocent.

Yup its the end of an era alright - although Donners and Stringer are still going strong(ish).

POC is the man though and irreplaceable, like Willie John, it could be 30/40 years before we see anything comparable to the great man. Like BOD you feel a privilege to have lived through the era and witnessed the career of one of Ireland's greatest ever sportsman from start to finish.

Time for young guns like Rory Best, Heaslip, Bowe, Kearney, Sexton, SOB and Reddan to step up and take the reigns....

I dunno,maybe I overrate him but to me Henderson looks like he could reach that level.

Rugby more popular these days and with better pathways to the top so instead of waiting a generation for the next BOD, POC etc the wait should be a lot less.
