Anyone pay much attention to Conan? Game seems to have completely passed him by in basic stats. 2 carries 2 passes, 6 tackles, no lineouts won Doris seems to have played both the 7 and 8 role. James Ryan stats please - the consensus on here is that he’s finished/invisible/empty shirt etc - I though...

Australia were shyte, in fact they were worse than shyte

An AIL club would have beaten them

I don’t think he quite grasps the level these teams are at

Duff Paddy

I am fascinated to know what would have satisfied the various whingebags. We scored 6 tries and 46 points, so 8 tries? 10? A point-per-minute? Sports needs jeopardy to be compelling - Australia are currently a terrible side, possibly their worst side of the pro era - so the result of the game was a...

That’s straight up f**king genius by JGP

Duff Paddy

That should really be MotM for Baird

What was the Aussie doing after the try there

Duff Paddy

Why the fudge is Casey defending that blindside

Duff Paddy

Dickson has been really good with the TMO reviews - making good quick decisions not looking for 30 replays and boring the crowd to death

Duff Paddy

That’s MotM for Prendergast - sorry to all the haters out there He has all the skills, his kicking from hand is world class. You would worry about his defence in a high stages WC knockout game where the game isn’t as loose though. No you couldn’t trust him. Australia are absolute dogshit tonight so...

Duff Paddy

Ah fudge off Dickson

They’re an absolute disgrace

Duff Paddy

There are Australian forwards walking out there - an absolute disgrace

Duff Paddy

Australia look to have stopped playing there - bizarre

Duff Paddy

Aki just a shadow of his former self at this stage

Duff Paddy

He's a Quarterback - he's not there for his defensive ability. We're playing rugby, not WWE American shite. Yep, fully agree but Munster used to do the same with Bleyendall - he was also an empty jersey defensively but the team was set up to accommodate him. Eh ROG wasn’t that long ago

So you’re saying that rugby needs a don’t rough the quarterback rule

Duff Paddy

Ireland should be further ahead they’ve been way better

Duff Paddy

Very good reffing there

Duff Paddy

If you ignore the tackling or lack thereof. His kicking has been at a different level but you can't carry someone who simply can't tackle. We're not 'carrying' him, ffs. You'd swear every other half in the game makes one on one offensive tackles on the line. He's well, well, well ahead in the posit...

Yes those three run ins unopposed were Mike Gibsoneque

We surely will never see another hat trick like that again

Lowe, Prendy and Ryan in a hot tub with her.
Ryan is having an incredible game people don’t understand his role

Let’s see his stats at full time we’ll talk then

Very powerful from Lowe

Duff Paddy

Lowe with a trademark brainfart

Ryan 100% correct to question why a scrumhalf is rolling a ball out of a ruck with his hands - is this ref f**king mental

danny_fitz wrote: ↑Sat Nov 15, 2025 9:30 pm That was a bit soft

I don’t know if you can coach the instinct to line up a man and smash him. The more teams target him the worse this is going to get.

Duff Paddy

Body position all wrong

Duff Paddy

Really hate us not competing in the lineout

It’s not like they don’t know what’s coming with McCloskey at 12.

Dickson having a laugh there they haven’t rolled away once

Duff Paddy

Hansen got a point to prove tonight

Prendergast having a big start

Duff Paddy

Really good game so far ireland looking much better but Australia haven’t got going yet

I see that Rory Sheriff was in the news this week for non rugby related reasons. He’s clearly still an enforcer. https://www.thejournal.ie/former-garda-high-court-action-deadlocked-jury-6875435-Nov2025/ Sounds like he deserves a medal to be honest - great to see the jury delivering some real world ...

Am I just getting old and (more) moany or is pro rugby getting worse? No, it's worse. In all aspects really, particularly cultural. It's all become very meh. I can't say I genuinely enjoy it or get enthused for it anymore. I watch mostly out of habit and, being Irish, craving disappointment. And Mu...

He has a skill which he has parlayed into a huge fortune and is renowned across the world - why wouldn't we listen to Conor McGregor? At least he has the ear of the world's most powerful man. Your point is garbage. Because the Collision brothers are extremely intelligent and clearly competent at bu...

completely ; Collison et al arent motivated by some sense of patriotic duty ; completely agree but it doesnt mean that what they're saying is not true ; to be honest, i dont get why its even getting the attention it is ; there's nothing new about what he's saying....its just now being said by a bil...

Such a shower of wit kant. Like DOB in the media this morning moaning about work from home. Just fudge off you don’t pay your taxes in this country because you’re a money hoarding sociopath trying to hoard even more money that you couldn’t spend in a hundred lifetimes and you think you can lecture ...

Duff Paddy

One angle regarding the lineout, that I haven't seen referred to up to now. The Lions tour - Farrell (and others) have been clear that they saw it as being about opening up the playbooks and sharing knowledge with each other, to maximise the chance of the teams success. In that context, and with so...

Duff Paddy

:roll: I mean I even addressed that point Duff but would you have capped Crowley as a 20 year old and Prendergast as a schoolboy yourself? Plenty of options outside of those two that could have been developed as a backup - there is no point in having a guy on the bench if you won’t put him on when ...
