Scored by our OWN number 7. #IRLPOR

The headline is fairly misleading as the article is about the line between bullying and slagging in the changing room, but I'm not sure that Simey is exactly the best ambassador to speak about the broader topic. www.thetimes.com/article/c124...

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

"I'm Still Standing" An amusing choice of song to be played at Stade dr France.

I still stand by this.

Oh France, it was RIGHT there for you.

It's the bomb squad vs les cuirassiers.

Whatever you think of the call, it’s great to see the ref taking the decision in his own hands there.

That looks particularly horrible. Ramos is definitely low, but there's no attempt to wrap...

"Guys, that's the SECOND time." "It's him..." 😂

That early change in the front row is nothing more than a tactical move. Nienaber was doing the same thing at Leinster. Plus, it's not as though the Springboks' scrum is weak!

I'd hate to be playing against France in the near future. In France. On a Thursday when fewer fans will realistically be likely to travel.

Thierry Henry, watching a game where they handle the ball.

South Africa have France's number at scrum time. Will we see this again?

To sum up the first 4 minutes from this French team with a GIF:

Allez les Bleus!!! 💙🤍❤️

Between the body language of the substitutes and the shakey camerawork, no ones seems to have been sure what was going on there.

"We Will Rock You" plays throughout the Aviva Stadium. Considering what I've seen from Ireland so far, I'm inclined to disagree.

Those RWC 2019 nightmares are coming back...

That'll be a 20-minute red. It should be a yellow.

Himself and Crick have Rosalind Franklin to thank for this.

NEW YORK (AP) — James Watson, co-discoverer of the double-helix shape of DNA, has died at age 97.

Eldest daughter has discovered K-Pop Demon Hunters. Youngest daughter has discovered Baby Shark. Me:

Fondly remembering this Sun headline from a few years back.

Now that's a headline that I didn't expect to read today. Although it's curious that the allegations are vehemently disputed, not denied.

Looking to swap standing tickets for seated tickets for #Amble in Dublin on 4 December. Anyone know someone who'd be willing to swap? #ticketfairy

I laughed at this a lot more than I should have.

Good. I wonder if Beauden Barrett ever actually got the chance to speak up for Beirne. Was very fair of him to offer it anyway.

Eminem warned us all about the cardiac issues of someone whose name sounded like a bondage toy. youtu.be/YVkUvmDQ3HY?...

I call bullshit.

There's a few interesting lines from Birch in this about potentially pulling the tournament and giving it to someone who can guarantee a profit. So who does that leave? England and France? Or even South Africa, if only just placate the fans desire to host it again.

Good enough for him. Cancer is no fucking joke.

Campaigner and advocate Sr Stanislaus Kennedy has died at the age of 86.

What's it like inside your head?

So we can be the guinea pigs while the hosts of the 2031 Rugby World Cup figure out how to actually run a game? Nah, someone else can fill in for us.

The biggest discussion point, in Ireland anyway, will be the red card. Disappointed to lose that one, but I'll be content if we're still in the top 4 by the end of November. #IREvNZL

And that's us done.

Hmm...

Flashed of brilliance from both teams with an unhealthy dose of a stop-start type of game. It's eventful, but the organisation around the match is ridiculous. Iffy pitch, TMO issues, bad sound quality and a mix-up with a HIA call. Both teams deserve better than that. #IREvNZL

Just a penalty? And the earlier incident with Beirne was a (20-minute) red? Very well.

Doris is clearly DELIGHTED to be back on the field. 😁

BANG!!!

Is that red or 20 minutes?

This is all very amateur stuff between the pitch condition, in stadium replays, whistle seemingly not loud enough for the players... #IREvNZL

Look, letter of the law and all that, but this really shouldn't be upgraded to anything more than a yellow.

No, you don't need to check foul play from an upright tackler. Barrett unexpectedly bounced into his arms.

Lets. F*cking. Go.
