Anyone know of any bars in Boston showing tonight’s match? I'm Boston-based but only just saw this, sorry. Hope you found somewhere to watch it. Couple of possible places are The Dubliner right by Government Center, or the Phoenix Landing in Cambridge. I've recently watched matches in both of those...

Watched it with an international ref, he said it wouldn't stand in real time, and nothing he saw changed his mind. We need to go easy on them. They must be hurting badly.

Very good Molecast today. Lots of interesting bits but one that struck me was questioning (to an extent) IRFU player welfare programme. They asked why weren't Healy and Murray playing at the weekend?

Speaking of pace, I was hoping they’d keep Tommy O’Brien in the squad for Italy. He won a national silver medal in the 110m hurdles when in school and is the fastest player in the Leinster squad. And he can tackle. Hopefully he can stay fit and put a run of games together for Leinster.
