What I still fail to understand is how Harry Byrne got his right peg around his mahoosive testicles to hit the ball so cleanly and sweetly 🤔 Surely someone has to write a scientific research paper on it. #LEIvLAR

#LEIVLAR Harry Bryne approaching that final shot at goal

What an absolute cracker of a game. Obviously delighted we won but credit to La Rochelle. In fact credit to both sides for leaving everything out on the pitch. A true advert for #rugby #LEIvLAR

Wonderful first game as members of @rugbyeurope.bsky.social for #Gibraltar #rugby against our friends from #finland

Decent old match between Castres and Bath. Ref not coaching just pinging, a refreshing and welcome change to the norm #CASvBAT

Free, Free South America.

Well it seems we left the lack of discipline and unforced ineptitude in the dressing room at HT and stuck with the sublime bit ☺️. Onwards to LAR next week #LEIvCON

Typical Leinster performance this season, a mix of sublime play and unforced ineptitude. Discipline has been terrible! Frustrating as fuck. Brace hasn’t helped but, fuck me 😩. #LEIvCON

I think the most galling aspect of tonight’s match is the awful commentary. Just be professional, irrespective of your loyalties. How Nugent and Jackman have a job is beyond me. Get neutral comms please #MUNvLEI

Well then ☺️ #MUNvLEI

Have Cardiff no respect for my Superbru predictions #CARvSCA

Never in doubt of course #LEIvULS

Absolutely pathetic first 40 from Leinster. Fair play to Ulster for taking their chances though. What happened to building a score before trying fancy crap? As for our D, it’s inexistent. Coaches and players have an awful lot to answer for this season #LEIvULS

Great oped from Jonathan Teuma in today’s #Gibraltar Chronicle Love his work in @patukapress.bsky.social A message from the Cultural Ambassador edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dyn... For more great content like this subscribe to the Gibraltar Chronicle app here:

Just goes to show what happens when both sides respect the competition. Exceptionally entertaining #rugby match #RCTvBAT

Shame that weird scrum with Serin at 8 and the 10 at scrum half didn’t develop. I’m intrigued at the potential invention #TOUvBAT

On the plus side a huge chunk of our issues are easily remedied precisely because they’re of our own making eg lack of basic skills

Major takeaways a. Lacking penetration & fluidity in attack b. Sam has to start c. We miss Hugo terribly d. Our D is suspect e. We look weary and f. Fuck the Lions Tours

At long last! After many years of endeavouring to do so, against numerous obstacles, we finally achieved our dream of being accepted among our #rugby brothers and sisters. Our story continues with great hope. Thank you @rugbyeurope.bsky.social 🙏🏻. Rugby is the winner today 🏉🇬🇮

Give LBB the award NOW #FRAvAUS

That was intensely satisfying. Not pretty at times but way better than we have been over the past few weeks. On to the Boks next week #IREvAUS

What’s wrong with TNT Sports #IREvAUS match on a blue screen of death FFS!

Thoroughly entertaining test match that. Wales got out of jail due to Japanese inexperience and naivety. All I will say is that if Wales are a Tier One nation then so are Japan you can’t have it both ways World Rugby #WALvJPN

Tighten up, go through phases, be pragmatic improve kicking game and we can get back into this We’ve started showboating from the 6th minute Too loose, poor decision making, Sam’s been anonymous because Jamo is rusty and the pack too cavalier in possession. Munster deservedly ahead #LEIvMUN

Given we had our first performance of the season, why not 🤷🏻‍♂️ #LEIvSHA #whiskey

Posted by @fibbymcfibface.bsky.social over on insta. This is shithousery of epic proportions 🤣🤣🤣

WTAF! This is why I love #history @peterfrankopan.bsky.social you absolute legend 🙌🏻. #books

Much improved second half and deserved equaliser. Cruel to lose it like that in time added on but I suppose we’ve won a few at the death. That’s sport 🤷🏻‍♂️. #CRYvLIV

We could and should be 4/5 nil down. That we’re not speaks to Alisson, Palace’s profligacy and sheer luck. Hair dryer treatment from Slot 🤣. Need to be way better to get anything from this #PALvLIV

Thoroughly deserved paddling. Congrats Stormers not so good in the first half but brought it home in the second 40. For us we were just bloody awful and deserve the duck egg. Worst thing for me was the throwing in the towel early doors in that second half. Unacceptable #STOvLEI

We were shite, Stormers were slightly less shite #STOvLEI

Saw this and thought of you, and I appreciate that sounds really weird 🤣. www.instagram.com/p/DNMkSGwRAJ...

Really pleased with a factual account of Sulla’s life devoid of the usual accusations that have been levelled at him with scant evidence to support them. Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix really was Primus inter pares. #sulla #rome #history #books

There is absolutely no way this doesn’t sound patronising but I’m really gutted I haven’t watched any of the Women’s Euros until today’s final. The standard of football is easily on par with men’s football. Note to self, watch women’s football

Easy enough for Kerry. I really expected it to be a much tighter game but Donegal’s D wasn’t in sync with the new rules. Zonal marking just played into Kerry’s hands imho. Should’ve tweaked that early second half. Anyway Ciarraí abú! #gaa #allireland #KERvDON

If you needed an advert for #hurling that #AllIreland was it. Tipp brushed away the underdogs tag with ruthless aplomb. Cork’s second half implosion must’ve been gutting for their supporters 😬 #gaa

Happy as a 🐖 in 💩 at being able to watch the #AllIreland #hurling senior final between Cork and Tipp #GAA

Bonne Fête Nationale France 🇫🇷 #14juillet

Great to be back on @harpinonrugby.bsky.social to discuss a record-breaking day for Ireland's Craig Casey-led young guns, and Lions selection headaches for Andy Farrell.

Harpin' on...Portugal v Ireland (📹@HarpinOnRugby) #Portugal #Ireland #Football

Much as I applaud and advocate for more inter tier matches the cold reality is that Tier 2 teams need to regularly play against Wolfhound level teams for a number of years before they’re able to compete against a Tier 1 team. I mean can you imagine a full Ireland playing today? #PORvIRE #rugby

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: No Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel.

Félicitations Toulouse you’re worthy winners. Bordeaux you should feel so very proud of yourselves. Both sides would’ve been worthy winners and that says everything you need to know #TOUvUBB #TOUvBOR #rugby 🙌🏻

Large the balls on Lucu are #TOUvUBB #TOUvBOR

LBB off! Bollocks!

We rightly boast about the quality in the URC nowadays, but French #rugby is…different ☺️ @top14rugby.bsky.social #TOUvUBB #TOUvBOR

Lucu > Penaud = TRY #TOUvUBB #TOUvBOR

That’s a classy 5m tap and go routine from Toulouse 🤌🏻 #TOUvUBB

This is sooooooo entertaining #TOUvBOR #TOUvUBB

The @top14rugby.bsky.social final is #rugby royalty. What a class act #TOUvUBB
