I’d give it to Blair Murray ngl. Became a bright spark of the 6N with the worst team.

Sua'ali'i has to be favourite though, especially if he has a good Rugby Championship

The IRFU women's interprovincial series starts next weekend. I have two *free* tickets to each of Leinster's home games in Donnybrook going begging: Ulster on Sun Aug 10th & Munster on Sat Aug 16th. I can't make it to either due to the whims of my small overlords so they're available to a good home

It is when one is an NIQ who would have played at least one of those games, and the other is an international and Lion who definitely wouldn’t have

Stunningly embarrassing for the game

Everyone knows he wasn’t going on the South Africa tour

Common sense needs to apply

Great piece here.

I love Grace Moore. A quiet work horse who speaks so well

Finn played over 30+ (hence the stupidity of the injury prone comments in the Indo) but for a tight 5 forward it’s rare enough you’d imagine

Heading over to Brighton for the NZ game though

I wish. I'll be in the office but I will be watching

'This is just the start for us now' - Moore Ireland flanker Grace Moore is confident that Saturday's Women's Rugby World Cup warm-up win over Scotland in Cork was just the start of the latest chapter of this team's story.

“This is just the start for us now”

Grace Moore is the type of speaker you rarely get to hear from in rugby. An absolute breath of fresh air, as was Ulster back-row Brittany Hogan.
Here's the thoughts of the pair after Ireland's win yesterday:

www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/...

The big challenge for Andy Farrell will be revamping that squad next year

He’s unlikely to experiment too much against New Zealand or South Africa, or in the Six Nations; leaving just Japan and Oz (twice each) and Italy/Wales, as the only chance over the next 12 months

Ireland starting the nations championship with a big big game next summer is great

On current form, NZ should win, especially in Eden Park.
Australia and Japan (under Les Kiss and Eddie Jones) less frightening prospects

Ireland 27 Scotland 21

It wasn't perfect, but that's an impressive win for Ireland. They trained 14-0 early on, but found their mojo and scored 5 tries en route to victory

Grace Moore a deserving POTM; but Tuite, McGrath, Deely and McGillivray all great too

Deirbh plays... Deirbh scores

Bar a rusty first 20 minutes, this has been an impressive Irish performance

Fiona Tuite has made a huge impact off the bench for Ireland

Popping up everywhere

Tadhg Beirne in numbers 🥇

2,532 minutes played, (506 for Lions)
33 games
32 starts
5 tries

HT: Ireland 12 - 14 Scotland

An imperfect start for the hosts but they have really grown into things since. Sadhbh McGrath and Meabh Deely with a try each, as Ireland head into the 2nd 40 with a massive bench impacting waiting

Ireland in again and it's Meabh Deely

Ireland have flown back into this

Ireland living off scraps but getting in their own way too

Just compounding errors at the wrong times. Very pre-seasony as you'd expect

Just Irish sorry 😅

We’ll be one of the few pods reviewing the women’s game though

People online will point at Pollock’s 3-0 comments now but that was the Lions’ aim and they have come up short of it

They’ll admit that themselves

Australia have improved game on game, and you wonder if they had Valetini, Skelton, White, Tupou for 3 games, would results differ?

I promise we won’t review the game…

We might do a tier list of players though?

Same vibe

Dan Sheehan is absolutely blessed that clearout wasn’t checked

Definite penalty, probably a yellow card too

Reminder, today’s match is live on:

📻 RTÉ Radio One

🌍 RugbyPass.TV

Really looking forward to seeing the returns of Sam Monaghan and Beibhinn Parsons, among others, later today

Two players who are absolutely vital to Ireland's RWC prospects

Deirbhile Nic a Bháird on the bench should be exciting, especially in a punchy 6/2 bench split
