Those of us who remember the Irish LBB (Life Before BOD) are scarred

Minor point on the discourse (not here) about Sam starting at 10. If people think this game is going to come down to whether they run down his channel or not are kinda missing the wood for the trees. We have no props, our FB hasn't played in 3 months and we've had no clear gameplan for 18 months.

I don't want to start the 6 Nations off with a defeatist attitude. My worry is I look at this French team and go; yep, I can see exactly how they are going to play and win. I don't with Ireland. I see a '21 6 Nations from us. The begining of what will be, but no time for it to click yet.

Just hit a deadlift PB as Defying Gravity came on Spotify shuffle. I will now be lifting exclusively to Broadway musicals

As there will never be a better one made, I'm kicking off this year's Sixmas with the best intro of all time. youtu.be/owP1J5cfRHE?...

Ok, final punt at the 23 for Thursday. Based on murmurs from camp plus what I'd like to see Loughman Sheehan Clarkson Joe Beirne Cian P Josh Doris JGP Sam Stockdale Stu Garry Tommy Jamie Kelleher Milne Bealham Ryan Timoney/Edogbo Conan Casey Crowley

Popped out of work to grab my Uber eats. Didn't wear a jacket as I figured it's only 2 minutes. It's -15 right now. 0/10. Would not recommend

Furlong getting ready to play his usual stint of Irish games before being utterly pieced together for Leinster

I'm a bit of a Penney critic at times, but he was very good today. Special mention for Moloney too. Thought hos running was excellent

Copy paste Try or a card was there if we held onto it I think

Just take the points!! Tight game like this. May as well get ahead and reset

Rugby incident. Unfortunate, but play on

Edinburgh have taken their chances, but my word are we shooting ourselves in the foot at times. Plenty of ball and chances to do something with it, but we are coughing it up so easily.

The rate at which we are coughing up possession just as we get into their half is so frustrating

Ah booooo

You can see this Leinster backline could be electric if they click. A few unforced (and forced) errors. I just want to see the forwards relax the game and give the backs a platform

Some day Snyman will realise he doesn't need to throw those passes. Use your size. Take the contact. Recycle

Can someone please get Mike McCarthy a desk job or something. Dude is gonna pop a hip doing those somersaults

In memory of this, I'd love it everyone shared their best drunk Zaytoon story. After a heavy night, myself and a friend went in for food. He was plastered. He ordered 2 kebabs. Gave them €50. Promptly turned around and left without a word, got in a taxi and went home. Sans change or kebabs.

Gwan Connacht!!! Delighted for them. That was about more than the BP

This is absolutely mental

Sharks, if you beat Stormers back to back I swear you have a fan for life. *Provided you don't suddenly turn into world beaters and win the whole thing.... ❤️

Honestly can't recall a game recently where the ref hasn't had to ask captains to get their players to stop shouting at them. Big issue in the game, and the teams that nip it in the bud quickly will benefit quite visibly on pitch I'd imagine. A clampdown is surely coming during the 6 nations.

Honestly, I'd expect nothing less from him. In the bin with ya Andy. Enough is enough.

That's awfully sad news

Em. That's a fairly solid side. We may be in a spot of bother here

I'm sure the conversation around this will be completely normal

How do I really feel? Cold

I really hope the rumours are true, as id bloody love to see Willis at Munster!!

My just for fun 6 nations predictions. Let's hear yours Scotland to beat England Italy to win 3 games France GS Dupont player of the tournament Italy to score try of the tournament LBB top try scorer

Just in case there was any hope Keenan might make the opener, apparently his thumb is injured and he's almost certainly out now Biggest test of our depth in a long long time. Not a bad thing. I'd written off this year. Id rather lose while testing the depth than with the same 23

Sorry, am I losing my mind here. In what world is this acceptable!? Every single person involved with condoning this needs to be held accountable

Here I was thinking Thursday night games would be the biggest source of discourse this 6 nations. Evidently not!

No deep fried Mars Bar. 7/10

This snow is absolutely wild today. Can't even get on to our roof area

I will never change my opinion that being allowed to take 3 consecutive knees like that is an absolutely stupid way to win a game.

I'm yet to see the leafs win in person. Today isn't looking like it'll be the day

United were so furious that Arsenal didn't take advantage of the open net they provided them after beating city that they've decided they don't deserve to win the league Sorry lads

Am I hearing Ahern is out of the six nations 😭 Lad can't catch a break

While this is an incredible feat to watch, the commentators are really annoying me "So Alex, did you manage to get your music stream back" Will you shut up and let the guy concentrate on the climb!

Even more of a nut job. I cannot believe what he is currently doing. Wild

Alex Honnold is a complete nut job
