Unquestionably one of the biggest cunts to ever walk the earth.

Need to absolutely fucking bury them here before they sort themselves out. #ENGvIRE

I'm still in complete shock. I'm wandering around like Bishop Brennan in a complete trance when it took him three days to realise Ted had booted him up the arse.

WHERE'S THE CAMERA EH? THAT BUSH OVER THERE PERHAPS?

She was being 100% serious. And needless to say, wore the look of a woman who couldn't do ANYTHING at all without the finger of suspicion being pointed at her.

I used to work in the Pod nightclub and Maeve Higgins rocked up to thew door one night with this big yarn about having done a gig in Crawdaddy earlier, and left her stuff and could she go in and get it yada yada.

I was like HOLD ON RIGHT THERE! YOU WON'T FOOL ME WITH THESE DIRTY TRICKS!...

This woulda been an excellent Naked Camera prank.

Absolutely incredible that he even needs to call this out, but here we are. There's some utter lunatics out there.

This is all so performative. Megyn Kelly doesn't believe half of this shite. But it pays the bills to be so fucking nuts, so away she's gone like so many before her.

Can confirm it's in the bag, boys.

And to those who support Ireland, remember. There is always hope. #FRAvIRL

By all means feel free to simply call it 'Quints', Murray, like they do in the Frascati Shopping Centre.

At this point I'd have been more disappointed had Simon Shaw *not* made the cut.

Can confirm Simon Shaw made it into his all time career XV. (Not even joking)

Absolutely. Bit of peace and quiet after the hours of eating. Just you and the suds, together as one.

BREAKING: Some people are concerned SA coaching staff may have discovered a very unique strategy of 'sending the big lads down the 10 channel'.

Can confirm there's a couple of lads on twitter who've said they won't watch the game now.

Superb series so far from Ryan Baird. Perhaps undroppable now. #IREvAUS
