Absolutely bang on by @jonathanliew.bsky.social

The Mail calls out racism on its back page, while promoting unsubstantiated, outright racism on its front page.

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

FWIW, I’ve seen nothing about Jack Crowley only making 75% of his tackles last week. Tied top for missed tackles (4) - same as Prendergast last week.

The sooner both sides of this argument can put a mirror to their faces, the sooner we can actually valuably discuss how these two 10s are going.

This feels like SA Rugby Twitter when fans complained pundits weren’t lauding the team enough between 2019-2023.

You never want to go full SA Rugby Twitter.

To paraphrase Mina Kimes talking about 🏈 :

Wins and losses aren’t a flyhalf stat.

Jack had a (really) good game but the fact that Ireland had a record victory doesn’t make the performance even better.

Like Bowe said, Crowley got a lot of plaudits, but JGP, Stu and Baloucoune were next level.

This...isn't great. It's a continental tournament, but it's also a WWC qualifying tournament. Does this have to do with Morocco and everything that's happened post AFCON?

Just as it is with Gloria Estefan and the rhythm, the underlying data is gonna get you.

Can’t even call these people wolves in sheep’s clothing. They’ve been totally captured by right wing ideology and made it their god.

The start of our season was a very easy run so inevitably we're going to pay for that later.

I… actually agree with JD for once.

But I’m not sure he fully gets what he’s saying.

Huh, an Unai Emery team that goes on an insane run of results despite the underlying numbers crashing down and running out of steam because their luck runs out?

I don’t think I’ve seen this particular movie before.

Leslie and other Edinburgh fans I follow are perplexed by their performances every week without fail 😭😭😭

I just checked the remaining Cardiff games and

27.02.2026 21:43 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Just looked at Cardiff’s remaining fixtures:

2 home games left

2 Welsh derbies

South African tour

3 games v South African teams

They also play Glasgow away

😬😬😬😬😬

(If they can win the 2 Welsh derbies and the home game v Stormers I think they’re through - get over 50 points at least)

Can't believe we managed a point against this Wolves super team.

I get why this is being said of course, but Cardiff have a 15 point lead on 9th with 6 games left. They surely have almost enough to be in the playoffs?

Counting pre seasons friendlies, which you always should, Cardiff have done the double on Leinster this season
