Re: Whats the wokest thing you ever read?

It certainly is the sentiment of a fair numbe rof US right wingers (and a growing nmbe rin the UK) who keep calling things woke while having no idea of what it is, beyond some concept that it comes from the supposed left. I find it a handy catch-all for hippys, twats, feminazis, pinkos and GenZers ...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I know McCarthy is a young lad but his performance levels declined throughout the 6Ns. Might need a wee bit more of a recharge. Also with Ryan out, wouldn't want to risk him unnecessarily. Jenkins can hopefully find a big performance against his old team. Declined is an understatement- he looked sc...

Re: URCR13 Stormers vs Ulster

Any you heard rumours (from boards.ie) that Kitshoff has got homesick, similar to his stint in France, and is to return to the Stormers for next season? That's a pity for Ulster, but I'd be lying if I wasn't excited by the chance that he might be coming home. Some SA players just seem to struggle t...

He caused that by saying Smith had handled the ball on the line, which would have been a drop out, not a scrum. He needs to be more direct and clearer in his comms.

Yeah - couple of really brilliant tries. Their discipline was awful though - 10 penalties in the 1st half alone - quite lucky to not get anyone binned until the 63rd minute.

I wasn’t convinced about all those penalties.
