Benjamin Kayser kicks off @itvx.com's rugby coverage for #FRAvIRE with some awesome retro gloves. #SixNations

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

I swear to God,If Global warfare destroys the earth before we get that fifth star I’m going to be insufferable.

With thanks as ever to @rugbykino.bsky.social 's wonderful permutations spreadsheet, Quins' win over La Rochelle means Leinster will play Bulls in the R16 if Glasgow DON'T win tonight, or Edinburgh if they do.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

“Scott can you please stop until we complete your exit interview?”

You're so vague You probably something something.

Hello, an Garda Síochána? Yes, I'd like to report a murder please.

I'll let Stitch explain what I thought of that game. #LEIvLEI

For real tho, the Ospreys Euro kit having “Temporary Solutions” emblazoned across the front is a bit on the nose even for Welsh rugby.

This is a beautiful Irish short. I can see why it's been getting attention. #RetirementPlan youtu.be/2Mqa4zfJdx4?...

Lionsgate has scheduled Power Ballad for release on June 5, 2026. The John Carney directed film stars Paul Rudd & Nick Jonas. #PowerBallad

That was an Offaly cool putt. #RyderCup

Too many pundits amd politicians get their views on what average public opinion is from Twitter, do not seem to realise how extreme an environment it's become, and so are taking decisions that they think reflect popular opinion but actually reflect the opinions of the most brain-cooked people alive.

just going to leave this here from jon stewart accepting the mark twain prize in 2022:

The Rugby Championship - Round 4 Review Well...that game was certainly one of the coolest things I've ever seen. People say the same about this week's Rugby Update! Pls watch it, share it and sub to my channel! youtu.be/93JFKI_OG6Q ⬅️LINK!❤️

Hmmm...

The Rugby Championship - Round 3 Review I'm back. youtu.be/krpaxrSRH6E

Here is the table for the 2004 Six Nations, for those who were unaware how key Spain🇪🇸 were to the European women's game before being abandoned in 2007. #rugbyhistory 🏉

The Master shows again why he is the best in the business

Rugby hasn't always been great at making use of its heritage when creating new kits. So it is great to see Harlequins FC embracing the #bloodgate era. #ThePREM

This is an amazing scheme that has had huge benefit to many artists I know by removing the fear of absolute poverty from their lives. We all love art on a daily basis, so a little public support for them in this guise benefits everyone. I urge you to complete this form!

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

Leinster winning a URC and a Lion’s series at a trot. A good return for the season. #AUSvBIL

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

Hilariously Rugbypass has short highlights of Wales U20 v England U20 and despite England scoring 44 points (I think, it ends abruptly) doesn't feature a single score by them. It does have a ball go dead and some ruck penalties though.

Jack Crowley is still managing broken ribs and another few knocks. Playing through it to stay in the frame with Ireland. That's why he's getting smaller minutes off the bench here just FYI

I can't believe he called up a world cup silver and bronze medalist, Lions series winning, 3x 6N, 3x Triple Crown, 2x European player of the year and 3x world player of the year nominee.

We are blessed in Ireland to have @tg4.bsky.social and no one can tell me otherwise

Incredibly fitting that Leinster’s tries come from both their huge-money overseas signing and a young kid just 3D printed this morning. The blend of huge stars and endless youngsters who slot in effortlessly with no downgrade is so exactly who they are.

Gentle reminder that there's free Top 14 coverage this weekend folks (with French commentary) Toulon v Castres will be shown live on TV5MONDE on Saturday at 8:05pm.

This is my new mantra for the next 38 hours or so to keep me calm

@screenireland.bsky.social Hi ScreenIreland. Are there any photos of the Marché du Film booth in Cannes at all ?

Oh so *now* Jordie starts.

There's been a load of compromisin', On the road to my horizon, But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me, Like a...

The moment Ryan Wilson wrote, "I'm backing Glasgow" I was tempted to stick fifty on Leinster. Never occurred to me they might stick fifty on Glasgow.

A chat with @JoeMarler. Discussed post-game TikToks - "If the girls want to express themselves, then express themselves. And if the boys want to do the same, f------ get on board with it" - and the 30-game guideline limits for England players. www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/...

Countries reacting to their relative US tariff rates be like m.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFc...

Grown men harassing and abusing children because poular media convinced them that boys and men are somehow invading women's sport. Why is it so easy to radicalise people to "protect women and girls" from a fictitious threat, while they repeatedly overlook and excuse real harm done to us?

Try as they might they just couldn't snatch victory from the, ahem, Jaws of defeat. I'll get me coat.

First rule of tackle school: You always talk about tackle school

Trump’s Sec of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says the solution to high egg prices for Americans is to get some chickens and raise them in your backyard.

I'd remove Mandelson from his post immediately.

Jeez i’ve said Wales are bad but i’ve never gone THAT far…

If the intention of Full Contact was to win over new audiences to rugby, the opening few minutes of the new series (where Marcus Smith, Chandler Cunningham-South, and Freddie Steward bray at each other about buying a new ultra expensive car) could not possibly have been more misjudged.
