Bok alignment camp just announced, 49 players, don't know how long it lasts or exactly what they do in there, presume its about letting a wider group into systems, plays and expectations. Does IRE do anything like this?

Big Choo Choo Stu - 1 - a man whose just turned into a monster in the past 6mths 2 - a man who was like this but not used which is it?

ski mountaineering wasn't for me, it felt a step too far in the "made up sports" genre

so this lad signs up, can't tell when, gathers 26 followers, makes no posts but 5 replies, all having a swing a munster fans for being anti irish and folk wonder why there's animosity, cnuts like this is a massive cause of it

And another thing... you know your posh when you actually sound posh when your royal title have been removed... Prince Andrew to - Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

The winter Olympics do make you think the summer ones are a bit... soft, i mean how many of thr summer sports do u have a chance of dying if you get it wrong?? Cycling?? Is curling the the only one that won't kill u? Unless angry Canadian hits u with a stone for calling him a cheat??!

The refs in the hockey final are Canadian and American ..... are there no neutral refs???!!

Are we watching the Last Days of the Toonie Reign??

#EngvIre Mon lads!

been doing a spot of modelling @reallyfubar.bsky.social ?

@threeredkings.bsky.social Madigan, ROC and Molloy doubling down on all 8 forwards being high level catch pass lads and being world class at the kicking game as we can't match the physical qualities of an SA or FRA..... and JN should be moved on from LEI to LEI aligns with what IRE usually does

2 games in thoughts there has been game time for a solid number of guys who normally don't get 6N chances and in the medium term (to WC 27) thats a plus. Stu, Izzy, Cian P, Bobby B taken chances handed via injury mostly. As fellas come back fit what will AF do, will Izzy or Cian P get an ENG shot?

Listening to the 42, 1st time I've heard a pundit with leinster connections say if clongowes/Micheals or rock were in Belfast or limerick those provs would produce more players than they have been

Rugby fans of all shades, tactical question. You're capt. You have a choice of direction of play at KO, there's a strong wind down the field and the forecast says it's going nowhere. Obvs, forecasts aren't perfect so do you - Play with the wind 1st half Play against the wind 1st half why ur choice

At least WE didn't go 29-0 down before half time....

The wonders of opinions, I've seen - SP's defence was good SP's attack was good SP 4/10 player rating

Love a bit of wild sea. #Northumberland

a leinster fan pod gave it thoughts this week again on munsters issues, homing in on FR & centres, (sic)"why don't they just play their academy guys more and theyll get better with games" "signings are bad, raise your own players" Dan Goggin - 82app Rory Scannell - 203app Josh Wycherley - 83app

....... I don't want to watch that again and would need to see it again to see where it went wrong. 1. Castres played really well, mad line speed and dangerous backs running it back. 2. Was the lineout really bad again? Felt like it. 3. Scrum not a factor 4. Jack's tee kicking... what happened?/

@thalamsutu.bsky.social .... any explanations to the Bulls and stormers this weekend??!! Makes the sharks result appear almost acceptable!!

Discipline is shocking. Both yellows, Milne had one where he's told what to do and he doesnt do it. Any chance of home r16 gone. Left with all or nothing v castres

indo at it again . Clickity click

Mrs Brown's Boys followed by the Late Late....

watching Clarksons farm with the folks. Don't like the man & had avoided the show due to why it came about but finding something the folks would watch. 10 episodes in, when he buys cattle & the calves break out 4 times in 10 days and he's in the rain getting them is the first time I've related to it

Cash only for a bus serving an airport seems a bit mental these days

@hugogordon.bsky.social .....

"You're just a postman with a spaceship!!"

Tom and Edwin starting in 2nd row, feels like I've waited about 5yrs for this!!

Since when does kicking the ball away after a knock on not finish advantage??

Have an American mate I met travelling, not seen him in 10yrs but keep in touch a wee bit, got this message this morning - "I'm watching the presidential address. You want 3 refugees from the United States?" WTF did trump say last night??!! BTW, we don't touch on politics much

package sent home for secret santa with the family, got a message from the mother that she got a text from DPD about customs. Contents worth approx £70.. #BrexitBenefits

On a train to Manchester. 3 kids just sat at the table across the way from me, probably 18-20 or so, 2 girls and a guy. One of the girls asks "do you mind if we roll up a joint here?" Who says kids these days aren't polite and respectful!

so, this is the likely path if we are finally to do something at a WC Scotland in the group a T2 oppo in R16 Argentina QF England SF TBH it could have been a lot worse but what shape will the squad be in to take advantage of it?? Thats the big Q. ARG and ENG are not easy, but would prefer to NZ/SA

Come on lads, which one of ye was it??

#MUNvSTO What a bust by Coombes takes about 3 fellas backwards just b4 crowleys try

LH usage since 2023 WC from the42, i'm stunned we have an experience issue in this position at the moment....

2nd capts rugby review pod, Shane Horgan... my God... so he waxed lyrical about Sam's passing & kicking and then they moved onto the tackles and called him "a flawed genius" then compared him to Finn Russell referring to his mistake v ARG... it terms of taking the flaws due to the size of the upside

Standard Bok tackle technique 2025

made 190 tackles!! and only missed 30 of them

Joe Molloy and Eddie O Sullivan on Indo last week (sic) "I think AF is blameless, he's in a tough spot, I mean whose kicking down the door that he's leaving out"

noticed that, just thought "smart player"

that Jordon try was just far too easy

Q of the most enjoyable late trains home I've had. Lad in his 30/40s just finished a 2nd/ 3rd date with a lady at waverley and looking for advise from totally stranger ladies at the adjacent table! So much positivity and "go on ya good thing!" Vibes for him! Best of luck on the jammies date Steven!

Just heard the expression As Brave As A Lion during the everton match.... are lions known for their bravery?? Or are they generally just the biggest boy in the playground?

So, if Beirnes red is upheld there's probably a ban. So if he's out for the month, what's the plan? Baird moved or Hendo in? whose on the bench? Is Ahern next man up or C Prendo at 6? I'm meaning for Oz, JAP almost doesn't matter, he'll throw out The Other Guys and put them back in the stand after

so the starting 15 v NZ, what he probably will do and what he could to to progress a few positions without weakening it too much and still have Porter, Baird and JGP to bounce off the bench on 50-60min

I gave The Irish Indo Left Wing pod another listen, first time in a few yrs, dumped it due to Lukey Fitz being a title but had read that the indo rugby pod was one of the best informed pods on the Irish circuit now so I gave it another go, also being the post MUN win helps..... insufferable/

not been following the Irish Pres election much at all apart from what comes on here, all i know is that there are two women, one is a decent footballer, the other is protestant and this is an issue to some, and some pretending its a bigger issue than it is. One of them can't speak irish, some care/

thoughts on the Tom Farrell call up. On one side I see the point against him and his age, 32, if you're looking to develop back ups to the already old group of centres then a 32yr old doesn't appear to be the best choice. BUT - if you're smashing it you deserve a call/cap otherwise what's the point

How bad does glessons injury look? Reading not watching
