This blog ran from June 2, 2012 to June 3, 2014. It features over 1100 posts from over 50 different contributors.

Don't worry...the HoR show will still go on, and we still encourage guest articles so keep sending em in to paganoblog@gmail.com whenever the mood takes you. We'll just be publishing them on www.harpinonrugby.net from now on along with the usual Leinster & Ireland fan site stuff.

Many thanks to all who wrote, read & commented here over the past two years.

Some light reading

package-holiday

You have to take your rest breaks when you can during the marathon that is the European rugby season…so HoR is shutting down for a couple of days.

In the meantime you could do a lot worse than check out the posts from the week just gone…over on the main blog the Scotland v Ireland writeup got the 2nd most hits of all-time only to the Wales match a few weeks before it (no prizes for guessing why the game in Cardiff was more popular!) while here on HoR2 we had some cracking contributions including one from @curates_egg that went into the blog’s top ten within hours of posting.

So while we here at HoR Manor work on our suntans, why not click a few links below and find out what you may have been missing?  See ya Monday. JLP
