The wind and rain were pretty grim but can't argue with that result. A few great performances, Doak and Murphy were excellent in particular, played the conditions so well #SUFTUM

I'm very late to this as I missed the game yesterday but this will be evergreen in the Toonie chat #6N

Fully appreciating I have my Ulster glasses on but honestly Rob Baloucoune has been the 2nd best player on the pitch today for me. Has got through a mountain of work. JGP head and shoulders above everyone else, just insane work

I was miles off the Scotland game, 2 points off the Ireland result and spot on with the French result, to misquite the song almost 2 outta 3 ain't bad

Feels like the first sight of blue sky over Belfast this year

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... Have to say the work in already trying to excuse Frank's failure and not taint his reputation further is in pretty stark contrast to how Postecoglu was treated. Ange's injury list was because of his training whereas Frank was just a victim of bad luck, ridiculous

That Lynagh mullet in this weather is giving Irosh Water Spaniel vibes #6N

Lads it's feeling like Gatland early 2000s when he gave a load of youngsters a shot time with Ireland. Fitness permitting I'd love to see Edogbo, Casey and Izzy get a start next time out #FRAvIRE

Great breakdown of where the game could be won and lost for Ireland. Feel that France will focus less on scrum(could still milk a few pens though) and more on killing Ireland at the lineout with that light pack

@90minutecynic.bsky.social is this a tinfoil hat take? Have Celtic spent nothing in Jan so the board can post YTD figures for period up to 31/1 that might land them a bonus? Spending early to bolster the squad was obviously the way to go, but they'll use the manager change to excuse not doing it

He's right, we just won't appreciate that fact for a few years yet

@90minutecynic.bsky.social I'm sure you'll cover it on a pod, but initial thoughts on Cvancara? Feels like a classic Martin O'Neill signing a 'damaged goods' type player (Thommo, Hartson, Bellamy) and hoping he can get a tune out of them. Feels high risk

Looking forward to the Kok and Stock connection doing some damage at the weekend #Ulster #rugby #urc

That farce people are calling a boxing match is on tonight, and not gonna lie, I've never warmed to Joshua, but for my love of the sport I really hope he send that YouTuber to the shadow realm

Ah Dave McCann, it was all going so well #LEIvULS

It would appear Celtic have hired the French version of Russell Martin. If this is a sogn of things to come he'd be out of his depth in a paddling pool #celtic #celstm

Delighted to see Ulster rotate this heavily. As good as a cup run would be, league has to be the priority. Izzy being back is great to see and McNamara being in the 23 is exciting too

Off to the old affidavit stadium (love the autocorrect here as it won't be anything other than Ravenhill) tonight for the rugby, first Ulster match live in a few years. Really looking forward to it, and spotted some of the Benetton lads in town today #URC #ULSvBEN

@threeredkings.bsky.social hi mate. I assume you've seen the42 post about Porter's minutes for Ire since RWC23. How much do you reckon his scrummaging technique is creaking because he's having to do so many fatigued scrums given the no of mins he plays,given he doesn't have elite technique to start?

Ten years ago this Friday, the All Blacks became the first team to ever retain the Rugby World Cup. This felt like a perfect occasion to tick off a video we've been wanting to make for a very, very long time. So were the 2015 All Blacks the Greatest Team of All Time?

Ulster v Lions was always destined to be one of those basketball type games wasn't it #LIOVULS

Big result for Ulster. Best I've seen Doak play as an attacking force. If Dave McCann can avoid the silly pens he'll be a good international player #SHAVULS

Found a whole rugby community to engage with, so I'm not longer burning my wife's ear with my random rugby thoughts. Can keep in touch with long distance friends and get to share in some of the great things happening in our lives

OK musicos, Tuesday boredom killer. What are your favourite cover versions of songs? 4 of mine Ataris- Boys of Summer (Don Henley) George Michael & Mary J Blige- As (Stevie Wonder) Stereophonics- Don't Let Me Down (Beatles) Personal fave is Futureheads- Hounds of Love (Kate Bush) #covers

Pelletier at 9 for Canada, just superb so far

Repost with a movie that you love that you didn't expect to love at all.

Bluesky people of #Ireland ,as I live in the north I don't see a lot of coverage of it but what's the craic with this random half yank lad running for president? Only vibe I'm getting from a few pics and soundbites is techbro Conor McGregor

If last week's theory is to be believed there must have been a bust up in the Donegal changing room before kickoff #allirelandfinal

PSA to anyone with access to BBC sport or iPlayer. Find the all Ireland hurling final, starts at 3.30, and sit back and enjoy one of the best annual sporting spectacles around. You'll thank me later

Thoughts with the lads on the Lambeg's today. Historically not the smallest of fellas, they'll be melting in this heat #thetwelfth

Hey @reallyfubar.bsky.social my Spotify shuffle tonight reminded me of your post a few weeks back about heavy rock covers. Have you heard of Nonpoint? They do a great In The Air Tonight and a completely marmite When Doves Cry if you still wanted leads on good heavy rock covers

What athlete's expression will stay with you the rest of your life?

#TOTMUN Oh Ange Postecoglu, what a guy. Tells no lies #seasontwotrophy

#signingclaxon Ulster have made signings, and they're actually in a position of need Miracles will never cease

Uber frustrating watching Ireland today, just not converting all that territory and possession and fair play to Scotland for making the most of the scraps they've had, they've been clinical #SCOvIRE

Such as the game's not going our way, seeing Izzy as a lineout menace tonight has been great, he's added so much to his game in the last year. Should have Joe McCarthy worried for his place #LEIvULS

Pretty proud of this one @daraokearney.bsky.social, lost a 60/40 to have .2bb and a likely min cash with 137 left and spun it to a 2nd place. Steve O'Dwyer wasn't wrong about it being an awesome feeling to spin from a chip and a chair even at the smallest stakes. Ran into quads to kill the fairytale

Might not have got the result we were after today but think I've piqued the rugby interest of my oldest 2 girls. Kid 1 asking when we can go back to watch another game and kid 2 just deadpanning 'I hate France winning' as the French got their 3rd try warmed my heart lol #IREvFRA

Paddy's Day defo hits different when you have young kids, the one on the right is almost more appetising. Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh

There's a reason nobody's done 3 in a row in the 6N. Some performance by France. Ireland comfortably 2nd best #IREvFRA

That's moronic from McCarthy #IREvFRA

@profanity.accountant what's the damage?

Here lads @caolansrugby.bsky.social @overthehillprop.bsky.social if I've read it right, Cian Healy can match the 6N appearance record if he plays the next 3 games here. Given it should be his last, do you reckon they'll pick him for all 3? Wales game seems a chance to give anyone else the 17 shirt

That's a horrible looking one for Graham #irevsco

@thinkingpoker.bsky.social hi Andrew Do you guys plan on doing a best of show for this year, or if there are any episodes you'd really recommend from the past few years? Trying to cultivate a playlist for my Christmas chores and the indeterminable time between Christmas and new year. Thanks
