The Royal Family: "Okay, we need something to distract the public from *everything*, what have we got?" PR Guru: "Well, we've got Mike & his "special" hat & even more "special" opinions... " The Royal Family: "SOLD!"

Lil Ange is becoming like those rare orchids that only bloom intermittently. You get to see him once a year for 80mins & then it's back into the greenhouse.

Fingerprints Of Darkness...

Try ruling that one out, you incompetent VAR skidmarks 💥💥💥 #LFC

When your nan & the girls from the bingo have "a night on the town"

There's so much going on here, it's like a Caravaggio

Based on her sporting appearances on the campaign trail & post-election, I'm backing our president for the 23 jersey against Wales #UtilityPlayer

Happier than Prince Andrew at a Debs, I am 😁😁😁 #ENGvIRE #SixNations

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

I don’t fancy their chances with that.

Yes, I did think that macchiato was chunkier than usual, alright... 🤢

Got your mediation right here, Poxton...

#SCOvENG #SixNations For the day that's in it... Roses are red Lillies are white Go for a drop Watch it all go to shite I thank you

Every year

Crowley just Billy Burns'd it with a bonus point on the line 🤦‍♂️ #IREvITA #SixNations

A stadium announcer having to tell the crowd to cheer might be the most embarrassing thing to happen to Ireland rugby today... ... so far! #IREvITA #SixNations

I think we know who the starting half backs will be against England, anyway... #IREvITA #SixNations

Absolutely adorable that Peter O'Mahony calls Tadhg Furlong "Tiger" 😅 #IREvITA #SixNations

Jack Conan taking over the "burst open before the game even starts" mantle from Andrew Porter #heritage #IREvITA #SixNations

#LFC’s right-back slot this season is the footballing equivalent to being a drummer for Spinal Tap.

No better man. Delighted for him 👍

People crossing over into Britain from France and putting out their grubby paws for taxpayers' money... But enough about this twat & his demands for a new government-funded stadium... 🤡🤡🤡 (As an aside, the number of Brits in United's matchday squad last night? 5 out of 20. Absolute gobshite🤦‍♂️)

"Hey baby..."

Admirable effort from Virgin Media but "The Aviva lights up..." hasn't been true when it comes to test rugby in a long time. An early kick off, Italy as the opponents, the teams dip in form and the well-discussed "demographics" of the crowd means it'll likely be flatter than Dutch Seven-Up 😑

23 of those charges were levelled at Welshmen whose impressions of professional rugby players were deemed "taking the piss" #ENGvWAL #SixNations

To Obscurity... And Beyond!! 😏

Mad as it is, a 36 point hammering actually flatters Wales, I have to say. England left a fair few tries on the deck in the second half 😬 #ENGvWAL #SixNations

Maro Itoje, with the Steven Gerrard heat-map there 🤣 #ENGvWAL #SixNations

We're surely at the stage where the grand poobahs of the Six Nations are sending the "Hey, Georgia, you up?" text... #ENGvITA #SixNations

Zebo, Ferris & Heaslip on the RTE panel. It's not often I envy the deaf... 🤮 #ENGvWAL #SixNations

#ITAvSCO #SixNations

The full story behind this is absolutely wild. Gerard's played an apparently ineligible player in the first game, which they won handily. Said ineligible player (an Italian kid) actually scored a try. Gerard's were then reported for fielding the ineligible player *by a parent of a Gerard's player*!!

👀

#FRAvIRE #SixNations #IREvITA We're going to play some of our lesser talents against Italy next weekend. So an unchanged lineup then...

#FRAvIRE #SixNations

#FRAvIRE #SixNations

No Matt Williams on the Virgin Media panel. That's an early win 😃 Also, massive kudos to VM for offering both audio description coverage AND sign language coverage. Never underestimate the value of inclusion when it comes to growing the game 👏👏👏

Yep 😓 (h/t @foilarmsandhog.bsky.social) youtu.be/48Fw9ErE8Qg?...

It has been confirmed this morning that Virgin Media will become Ireland’s, free to air home, of the Nations Championship The broadcaster set to offer all 42 fixtures in 2026 and 2028
