Re: Lions Lions Lions

I'm confused. Daly was in the squad to cover 15, wing, and 13? Suggestion here is that Jr has come in to cover 12 (where so far there aren't any injuries). Snr is now on record saying that the 10s will welcome Jr's arrival - or at least won't feel threatened? Why should they worry seeing as he can'...

Re: Lions Lions Lions

That's definitely possible, and Freeman might be in already too. I'd just hold fire another week on both.

I am very excited by that halfback pairing behind a pack that should be very strong.

Re: Lions Lions Lions

There's so much up in the air, especially at centre. No one seems to be hurting themselves. If Keenan shows a pulse I expect him to start with JGP, Russell and Lowe nailed on. Can't go too far wrong with the pack options though I'd be pretty strongly against Beirne at 6. I don't know what the case f...

Re: The best new and returning TV series of 2025?

Chernobyl, Succession, Better Call Saul, True Detective, Le Bureau in a tier of their own with Chernobyl atop that. I consider these all timers. The Bear misses out with season 3.

Too many to mention below that: Top Boy, Mindhunter and Slow Horses stand out of those mentioned.

Yes we could, BP's played a massive role in it.
Not really by the French game. And if you think the result would have been much different with Crowley, I'll have what you're smoking.

We'll never know will we.
But the evidence since has not been in Sam's favour.

What a bad year for Irish rugby. Munster topped the log last season. Down to sixth this. Ulster dropped 8 places to a worst ever finish. Connacht down two as well. Leinster are probably judged more on Champions Cups and having made 3 finals in a row only made the semis. With the national team a dis...

When the bad guys land BCS is right there with Breaking Bad. It’s not so close before that, some of the legalise and tinfoil drags.

The two combined is all time achievement, in any medium.

He’s an all time great but Kerr’s inability to put a functioning offence without Steph there is by far the biggest knock against him, it’s been the case forever.

There's nothing concerning about a 21/22 year old fitting a system. Everything offensively is on schedule, he's a super talent. The defending is apocalyptic and so the question is what he can manage there, he'll get every resource you'd want so ball is in his court. Young players in key positions ar...

It's far from clear statistically which of fouling/not down 3 is the better option but yeah seems pretty clearcut with Jokic sitting.

I think Knicks are likely getting wiped from here but great day of basketball all the same. And a great playoffs.

The knock on previous was worse that was super cynical. Connacht are not going to be a serious outfit with this tight 5 personnel but this is real talent in the backs. Like really exciting.

There is just no juice in the pack right now. The backs are obviously rough but my expectations there are much lower, it’s a bit of a debacle up front.
