Re: Trans issues and 'compelled' speech

Re: The best 5 players in the world right now
On form, Tadgh Beirne is playing sensational rugby. Ben Earl too. And JGP.
I’m obviously watching less SH rugby so leaving room for you fave saffa/kiwi.

Re: Renewable Energy Tech
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...

Re: Renewable Energy Tech
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 ...

Re: Renewable Energy Tech
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.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

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...

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...

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.

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%

And so today was the day when the French sides eventually shat the bed.
