Finding it really hard to give a shit about the insta huns in Dubai posting about how "scary" it is atm.

If it’s showing near you please go and see β€œGood Luck Have Fun Don’t Die”

I’m so sad it hasn’t got more buzz

It’s just wonderful.

Did you have an issue when Leinster’s official X directed a pile on of a fan account?
Cause that’s actually encouraging abuse, this is discussion of a squad.

Did you have an issue when the Leinster Rugby Twitter account did this exact thing?

Doesn’t have the minutes when we have declare someone who has played 87 minutes total

Irish squad is what it is

Ireland are the only team who don’t need development and more players in the system.

We’ve done so well in every RWC with out same squads

Why does it need be a β€œwho would you drop” scenario?
We can name a bigger squad
We have an A game

Why is having more players exposed to the system, as we build to the RWC, a bad thing?

On #MackGate (which is WILD in and of itself)

Is it not a tad bit interesting that the same referee had had 2 interpros, with one common team involved, and on both occasions we’ve had serious questions over the decisions in the game?..

One is wrong but was during the game,

The other had no part to play in the contest and accosted a referee when the game was done, having come from the stands to do so.

They aren’t compatible

There are some days you want a chili Sunday when you need to work.

There are other Sunday’s when you just put on Iowa and have a lovely loud time.

The second option is a very good one.

Serious discipline problems at Leinster
What are their coaches doing?

We surely need a full root and branch review of the set up #BRIvLEI

Can this referee do every Leinster game?

Cause this is textbook

Munster get a BP win past a French not quite first string team.. so we are gonna see Munster players called to the Irish squad now?
That’s usually all it takes…

Someone’s editor had a lie in and just approved this.
We’ve reached the Sam Prendergast fan fiction era

Yup.
Can’t help but feel any other player on the pitch gets a red

Deliberate shoulder - connects to the head - only a yellow

this sport is gonna eat itself.

If that’s Fiji it’s a red

The Virgin video package
Look how he β€œunlocks the defence”.
He played a few simple pass and did the same Irish loop we’ve seen for a decade.
It’s madness

Let him play for his province and grow

Has any player ever has had much build up of Sam Prendergast for his feast start?

You can legitimately feel the panic that Leinster might not have the Irish 10

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Wicked (2024) I mean, it’s wicked. Of course it’s 5 stars. My movie of the year (thus far). Give Grande and Erivo every award, every single one. Give Dinklage whatever award can give for that role. Jonathan Bailey,...

I wish I believed any of this to be hyperbole
