Stade are doing this whilst the IRFU are taxing Leinster (noting Jackman’s piece claiming Irish pathways are “creaking” but has always been reliant on Leinster’s system (c.f. Loughman, Milne & Timoney on Thurs)- the wider distribution of provincial nos across U20s & A made them worse)

FA Cup: ITV boss apologises for glitch that meant viewers missed only goal Michael Grade says it was 'inexcusable' that ITV cut to adverts during Liverpool's clash with Everton. By Leigh Holmwood

It’s ITV though so you’re sure that they could mess it up somehow…
I guess it’s just the creep that’s the issue, they’ll find new ways to encroach

This Jack Crowley player sounds amazing- he must be tearing up trees at his club, moving his pack around the pitch, kicking conversion in the 90th percentile….

He’s being v harsh on Prendergast- what was he supposed to do when he intercepted & saved the inevitable try on his own line?!
Very Monday Morning QB on who should’ve been in the team but not a peep from him when it was originally named

Positive is that we didn’t throw in the towel, great edge brought from bench by Ryan,Conan and especially Timoney- if we’d managed to get the third try when we were in their 22 it was game-on

Hugh Cahill- I audibly groaned on a packed Tube carriage when he introduced himself on that pod

Lineout is fine when Dan throwing, not so with Kelleher

Was he meant to let it go for a 50-22?!

Tell your doctor- your liver is fucked

Getting tired of the negativity- Hugh Cahill on the RTE one was especially bad this week and Ruaidhri O’C & Will Slattery in the Indo see no hope. We’ve lost 2 games in the past 3 championships and are due a reset. When did we become so entitled?!

The rest of that season was all easy wins, we bonus-pointed our way to the Slam!

Wait until they hear that their boy, Jesus, a man from the middle-east, described as having skin like burned brass and hair like lamb’s wool, was not actually a blue-eyed ringer for Cesare Borgia

The AI journalist, been feeding it the writings of Stephen Jones, Clarkson, Woodward and Dallaglio

Don’t think that’s a yellow, he went for it w two hands

I always get Bombfunk MCs’ “Freestyler” vibe from them- a kind of awkward attempt at trying to be cool

Mad that we don’t have clue- can C Mangan do it, or McLaughlin on bench (big left boot but always a wing/ fullback)?
Gunne may have it in his locker

Good test for JJ Kenny but that Edinburgh side are v strong

The Pillage People

Paging @threeredkings.bsky.social

Not sure about that- always good to have options but our depth isn’t that deep really; we end up having to play players who aren’t International standard (c.f. Billy Burns)- would not be comfortable with Jacob at 15- once we’re past #3 in queue in each position we struggle

The English commentariat are always pushing to omit the SA sides- “They’re not in Europe!” they crow, neglecting to remember they renamed the tournament to exclude “European” in title.
“But Global Warming!” they weep, ignoring that all flights to/from SA are scheduled anyway

This kind of sentiment is still all too common in Ireland unfortunately

I don’t think heading east is allowed anymore post-Henshaw.
Surprised Ben Murphy isn’t coming back to Blue- I like Gunne but his ceiling isn’t that high I think

Irish Rugby in This is fine meme

Menswear Guy coming after you
