Yer hair is stupid Clifford

I get Dublin's persistence with zone defence, but at the half Kerry have 1 wide. They are still giving them the scoring chance, just delayed. Now, that can work if Dublin start pulling away on the scoreboard, but I think they need turnovers too. Unless they think they can outscore this Kerry team

We are giving Kerry far too much space, time and respect on the ball.

Very soft penalty

Dublin. I need you to win today so we can do the funniest thing ever in two weeks surrounded by my Mayo in-laws

And a new meme is born

Those in the "no criminal case, he's innocent" camp. DRCC stats Just over a 5th of reported sexual offences led to a charge or summons between 2018-22. Between 70% and 80% of sexual offences reported to the police between 2018-23 have remained “undetected", i.e. no charge or summons issued

Waking up today to see what happened during his comeback last night. LOL. For anyone who supported his comeback and gave him a positive platform, do better. For him; I hope your knee is fucked. Proper fucked. Now, I never wanna hear about that 🍇again.

I mean, I feel like I've cooked on 4/4 so far this week. Come on Wales. Don't let me down!

Say what you want about them, but that was a clinical ruthless performance from Mayo today. Completely shut Louth down. May not have enough to beat Kerry or Dublin, but they are in a final and as we all know; anything can happen in a final.

One day Townsend will realise it's a 23 player game

Feels like there was a home decision in that scrum

Stays a yellow. If it's viewed as a clear out, yes it's a yellow. Head contact for a dangerous clear out. However. It shouldn't be viewed as a clear out. It looked far more like a deliberate headbutt to me.

That's a card I think. Looked pretty deliberate. Not a clear out attempt. Just a sloppy headbutt.

Ok Scotland. I see you.

Rassie may have figured out how to clone PSDT as there appears to be three of him on the pitch today

That is the most bullshit thing I've ever seen on a rugby pitch 🤣🤣

4 minutes into this game and it's already better than Fiji England

Can we make a bigger deal about making sure anthems aren't butchered. Especially the visitors. We've had plenty of examples last weekend and this. While it makes for a funny little viral moment, at it's core it's actually pretty disrespectful.

Not sure what's more disgusting. The platforms being given to that moron from Crumlin, or the seemingly endless number of "then why no criminal charge" bros in the comments of said platforms.

A number of years ago I was on a jury for a pretty horrific trial. The defendant is now one of the few hundred people serving life in prison in Ireland. Hadn't thought much about the case, but recently came across a podcast episode that covered it. Surreal experience to listen back to it all

All the atmosphere of a Ben Earl fist pump at this one

Plenty of lads had good games today (Jansen especially on debut) but a quick word for Robbie Henshaw. Big game today. Good defensive moments. Some barrelling runs. Important try. Solid run out from the big lad

‘…we need to achieve a minimum of 40% street tree canopy cover, and preferably more, before we start to really feel the benefits of nature’s most advanced air-conditioning technology.’ Me, for Big Issue, on tackling urban #heatwaves…👇 www.bigissue.com/opinion/heat...

Are we ready to have a grown up conversation how there is a whole other host of issues for Ireland? Set piece (as I also noted last week) is a massive red flag. No platform no party. Laboured uninspiring attack at times. Cheap turnovers in try scoring positions. We have a lot to fix.

There is such an interesting mix of comments here regarding Ireland's first half. Ranging from; Jeez we look so poor to Wow, we look very good if we can fix the set piece errors. A handful of lads and the power game keeping us going here. Backline looks pretty uninspiring at times and

Paulie. I love you. We need to talk.

We don't have the pace in this backline attack to win this out wide. Power game is where it's at today. Wear them down. Bring on Bryn Ward. Earn the right.

My feed would be a lot more lively if it was a different 10 getting blocked down, missing passes, and slipping before a try #JPNvIRE

My position hasn't really changed with the result to be honest. France are a much better team than Ireland right now so I still think the narrative remains the same. Australia a lot better than people think.

Careful Australia. If you keep this up, people may have to give Ireland a bit more credit for their gutsy win last week....

If France could stop their conveyor belt of bullshit wingers, I'd really appreciate it

Australia; Hey that Meafou guy is pretty good. Why can't we produce players like that? France; You're never gonna believe this

Five word predictions (Sans NZ V Ita as I was travelling home and forgot) Aus V Fra; Two frustrated teams, France joue Jap V Ire; Ireland pull away after 60 Fiji V Eng; England win by boring us SA V Sco; SA grind down impressive Scotland Arg V Wal; Wales building, but lose narrowly

The windows are fine. However we did divert to Prague due to an onboard medical emergency. Poor gentleman had a heart attack. Puts life in to perspective really. Hope he pulls through, whoever he is.

In fairness, two cracking fixtures coming to Galway. 9 stars have gotta get out of there alive to progress. Box office.

Garbisi and McGrath. Together at last.

So happy I'm boarding a Ryanair flight in a few hours

Well hello there old friend. How I've missed you

People may or may not agree with the possible appointment, but vetting ROG for the Leinster job is perfectly normal and I think it would be a dereliction of duty if they didn't to be honest.

My toxic trait is that I'm always early to things, and it really annoys me because no one likes the nerd. Team dinner tonight, 6:45. I decide fuck it, I'll turn up at 7. Still the first here.

Fuck that

Is this the most south side Dublin purchase I've ever made? Yes In the 32 degree Bulgarian sun, is this the best purchase I've ever made? Also yes

Essentially the entire team (bar maybe Keenan and the bench?) was good at times and bad at times. Head up Sam.

Worth it

Ideal weather to be sitting in the back of a Dacia for four hours. The car has roll down windows and an aircon system from the 80s.

I haven't even left the county and I've eaten all my sandwiches. It's gonna be a long day.

Petition for a kick of the year category at the world rugby awards. The inaugural winner is Willemse for his outrageous 22/22.

3.5 from 6 Taking a moral victory half point as I did think Scotland would ball, I just thought Argentina would sneak it. Anyway. What a great day of rugby. Honestly, up there with one of the best I've ever seen. 6 games, not one boring one. It's not quite Super Saturday, but it's close.

Scotland causing havoc out wide. Kyle Rowe is a menace.
