1/2 As a journalist on the other side of the Atlantic, the feeling is of disbelief. Not at Trump - it's been obvious for a long time that he hasn't the manners of a faeces-flinging chimp - but at the absence of any semblance of solidarity or even self-respect among the White House hacks

Hopefully Troy Parrott's arc accelerates the trend of talented Irish youngsters looking for alternatives to England. Your development is far better served at a club with finite resources than a giant whose first doubt at your progression sends them to their bottomless pockets & global reach

Easy to forget that when this groundbreaking qualification happened, it was out of our hands, unlike now. Surreal watching the delayed broadcast as if live - no internet (wifi must have been down). Family had given up and I was alone, morbidly witnessing confirmation of the end of our hopes...

Sam Prendergast has such playmaking talent. It's infuriating that at 6'4" he's basically a turnstile in defence. At just 22, doesn't it make sense for Ireland and Leinster to prioritise adding tackling to his skillset?

How is it not universally accepted that no individual needs or "deserves" a trillion (or even a measly billion) dollars? As long as this kind of money is tied up in the service of malignant narcissists, the idea that there's "no money" for programmes or aid that benefit thousands makes zero sense

My son at 7 when he found out that there were people who hated or feared others because they were different: "What's wrong with them? Did they stop evolving or something?" Kids get it. Some are subsequently led astray by stupid/evil grown-ups

For all the talk of Ireland's rugby academies, there seems to be no obvious flood of emerging talent. Coming into the team this weekend we have Nick Timoney (30), Caolin Blade (31) and Tom Farrell (32). The best player on the pitch against New Zealand was McCloskey (33). Where's the future?

Could be a cracker. Very pleased for Crowley - without a doubt Ireland's best outhalf right now. I still have hope for Prendergast maturing into the player he should be and think it's a major failure of Leinster and Irish rugby - more than the player - if the necessary improvements don't come
