I cannot argue with the clarity of your thought

We are objectively less hateful than Glasgow too tbf

Lions could really use Big Joe today

TLDR version: Ed is sad because Wales are shit

The hating on Owen Farrell by English people is so so bizarre
Totally agree with all you've said Steve. Stinks of sour grapes

It's so weird. First shot at a whitewash since the 60s, first in Oz since 1904 or something like that, and yet the reaction from some quarters is bizarrely muted

There is so much negativity around this tour despite it going so well. It's getting harder to shake the feeling that there are just too many paddies involved for some of our neighbours liking

It's going well so far despite them being so close points-wise. Oscar did the right thing last year and played the team game and I think Norris will mentally collapse rather than get overly feisty if things keep going the way they're going and Oscar starts to pull away in the championship

28.07.2025 11:32 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It sure seems that way. Every time Oscar wins, I think about that Norris era bullshit and whether it's awkward behind the scenes. But McLaren has been very fair about letting both race. This year anyway. I thought Norris got every single strategy call his way last year

Nobody likes being left out and our Welsh friends are (rightly) proud of having the most Lions out of the 4 nations. They are very cross at how well this tour is going without them

If the IRISH and british Lions aka Lionster, aka Leinster and friends get the first (ever?) series whitewash next week, then you will have truly been the first to call it as the #bestljonstourever Owain

If we're doing that, then it was Hugo

I think there were a couple of early tours we went involved in and I think we have had 2 tourists before, like Wales this time

I mean I was mostly joking, but the 'and Irish' but it can feel a bit colonial for those of us not on the mainland. I like it, but only as a bit of fun. Think the Lions think awful highly of themselves, which can take a bit of the fun out of it. But a lot of Irish rugby fans do absolutely love it

Given how much of an afterthought we usually are, and how cross some of our neighbours are about there being too many paddies for their liking, I think it's fantastic

Think it's a football chant originally. I just liked the inclusion of Dricco and the fact that it wasn't just Leinster, Leinster etc ad nauseum

And number 1, was Sean O'Brien, and number 2, was Sean O'Brien
Etc, etc until it got to number 13, which was Brian O'Driscoll, obvs

Tullow Tank. It was a Leinster chant back in the day: 'we all dream of a team of Sean O'Briens' to the tune of yellow submarine.
I miss having decent chants ๐Ÿ˜”
