Because of Ireland Week?

I’ll happily provide the bottles

Thanks, Ed. I appreciate the reciprocation after my commitment to Parky Scarlets.

Thank God for that

2025. The year that Ed Jenkins and everyone else from Wales were β€œdone with the Lions”.

How many points did Cork score in the second half?

The test match being on in the morning our time works really well for The Breakfast of Champignon puns too. Shame he doesn’t have a twin.

I sorted it out earlier today, Ed.

I’d have thought Casey would be next up. Wow.

Completely agree. The IRFU should own one club team and one club team only. There should not even be any other teams in Ireland to be honest.

Piss off, Steve. If your rooting for Leinster is as successful as your rooting for Munster then we’re fucked and Ed wins.

Munster literally told a World Cup winning lock that they didn’t want to keep him less than a year ago.

Michael Milne has now lost more games this season as a Munster player than as a Leinster player. Makes you think.

Can you find out how much it is? I’ll pay a finder’s fee. I have an idea/

I’ve written to Parkyscarlets twice asking them for their wine list and they are yet to respond.

I cannot attend until they do.

I think Leinster’s bench will probably be too strong for the holocaust in the second half to be honest.

Given the WRU are taking on the job of turning them into a powerhouse it’s the lack of future I’d be more worried about than any history.

Some praise from you at last.

See? That wasn’t hard, was it?

Well, he barely played at the weekend so, yes, they would have driven him down the road to Bristol for a run out. I'd expect that game to count against any ban imposed later. And rightly so.

24.02.2025 14:48 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I think he was very clearly going to play against Cardiff. Firstly as part of the 'rotation' he was not going to start against France.

And, secondly, as the backline defence leader he would have been expected to use the recent experience of playing against a Sherratt attack.

Wait until you find out that they had the opportunity to do additional training sessions last week but just sent the players home for a couple of days instead.

I didn’t even realise he was a Kiwi. Very smart of them to recruit a lad with a Scottish name.

Or did he change it? That would be smart too.

I have some questions for Steven Kitshoff.

Wait, it’s getting better. My investment in Welsh Rugby is now up 23.2% in two days.

At this rate of return I will have €1.43 BILLION in just six months.

It's worse than that, Ed. They've told Hugo Keenan that he can work on his golf game for the week.

That's only because the Scots are too stingy to pay for the plane ticket to NZ. Much cheaper to pop down to South Africa.

20.02.2025 10:59 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I've done the sums. At my current rate of return the tenner I've invested in Welsh Rugby will be worth more than €800,000 by the end of a year.

That's almost enough to fund a player (probably uncapped, granted) for Leinster.
