Good man, so.

Why don’t we ever poach good Welsh players?

Because there are no good Welsh players anymore

It is objectively a bit shit

Personally think something needs to be don about central contract situation

We're working on a few larger projects than that

RWC2015

I’m pretty sure I was at that conference! 8hrs is happening for BESS. Anyway I had a good hard look at genex a couple of years ago and that projects got major problems. Good luck to J Power if they can make it work. I firmly believe PHES is going to be a government led solution while BESS will be p...

RWC2015

PHES is critical as we get to a greater level of RE penetration. Its not so much an issue when you have significant coal still providing that dispatchable power, but when that starts dropping away then you need something there. BESS are OK, but the reality is that right now, most BESS sit at about ...

I'm hoping white hydrogen could be the game changer. If there's enough of it in exploitable fields it will solve our energy issues at a stroke. Tell me more. Just heard a little about it. Nuclear fusion is no longer always 30 years in the future. Some big breakthroughs recently. Exciting times.

RWC2015

Never been totally convinced by wave energy, broadly speaking. The maths makes sense and the technology is relatively simple however the operating environment, connection process and lifecycle costs are far more complex then other simple solutions. Basically there’s easier RE technologies out there...

The pass out the back from Furlong was a thing of beauty. Had his best game for a long time.

Twas on both counts. Great to see. Legend.

That pic is just taken at the wrong time as he is blinking. It’s one of those ones where you could probably read too much into it retrospectively. What is see (in that vein) is a guy saying “is this enough eye contact you wit kant” after last year’s nonsense, and also “I’m a far bigger silverback t...

Actually f**king love this. Think Doris will be a great Ireland captain (under Radge)

“manipulating someone into questioning their own perception of reality “ So yeah , the bolded bit is the very definition of gaslighting, a common personality trait for a narcissist. Your posts are all there for everyone to see. Pretty hard to gaslight someone when there's a written record. If we're...

Northampton are clearly a dangerous prospect. Their attack is frightening and Courtney Lawes (bad luck for England) is in the form of his life. Also in a potential final with Toulouse, Leinster have adapted their game to deal specifically with the threat of La Rochelle. Would the new way of playing...

RWC2015

That was pretty easy - maybe a touch overpriced, but it's a BH weekend as well so probably not Dublin is very expensive right now. You can thank the American tourists with the strong dollar for that I'm curious as to what you think 2 nights in Dublin over the BH weekend SHOULD cost. Like I say, may...

A lot of Leinster supporters trying to rewrite history here and it’s understandable in a way. Many of you were Munster (Lunster) supporters in the early noughties yet would never admit to it now. In 04 there were more Munster jerseys sold in D4 than in Limerick, amazing stat. There were lots of Lun...

Re booing RO'g https://www.balls.ie/rugby/ian-keatley-reveals-profound-effect-booed-munster-fans-personal-life-362409 Wow. Salt of the earth fans I dunno if I’m biased but booing your own player strikes me as absolutely despicable (and I’m sure it was a tiny minority of Munster fans) but booing RAD...

ROGs next move has to be Munster. The interpros would be tasty. He has too much cop on for that. If he wants the Ireland job, he’ll have to try a job in Ireland at some point. I don’t think floundering with Munster would do him any good. You don’t think he could get it without a stint coaching with...

Great to see some English sides doing well again tbh.

We got balance of decisions, no doubt about that. The advantage call after Lowe’s kick and the scrum pen against ker Barlow were both very harsh on LAR I thought.

Anyway, think we were winning that game either way but we got so much 50/50 stuff going our way and LAR definitely affected by last week and travel. If we'd got all the marginal stuff that went our way balanced out over the last two years, we might have 2 titles and be on our way to a third! 100%

• forward pass for the first try

Could have been a very different game at a neutral ground.

And so today was the day when the French sides eventually shat the bed. Much fancied hipster favourites Bordeaux shipped 42 points at home to a mid-table Premiership side, while Radge's La Rochelle limped out without a fight looking like a shadow of themselves. I'm sure Toulouse will get past Exete...

Anyway, was a small section of the crowd and it was a very jestful boo in the same manner that ROG winds up the opposition. Storm in a teacup.

Nope. Rugby as we know it is dead.

RWC2015

The problem with that view is you think it's acceptable for fans to treat matches as though they were at a pantomime. Say you're up and down to the bar a lot at matches? I am from the era, long departed and scarcely fathomable now, when we'd applaud good play by opposition sides (possibly because I...

Did I say it was? I merely pointed out that the values that were once meant to define the game are gone. RADGE is a panto villain. Get over it.

Gav Casey and myself the only people in Ireland who called this. That bluffer Ciaran Kennedy on the 42 :blush: And Jackman, Kinsella, Miller etc. Would you give over.

Irish punditry should be ashamed. Seriously. Bunch of pussies.
