Re: Ireland v Argentina, Sun Nov 21st, KO @ 2:15pm
Argentina weren't quite as bad as scoreboard suggested but they weren't great. Really a day for the forwards, there were a few times we had numbers in the second half out wide but forwards got over the line. Henshaw was rusty but that's fair enough. Would have liked to see Balacoune get the ball mor...

Re: Anybody into Crypto
Bought about 120 quid (I think) of Eth at the start of 2018, it fell off immediately. I tried to sell it, obviously f**ked that up and forgot about my Coinbase account.

Re: 2nd pfizer vaccine
I felt like I was half pissed a few hours after the second, then just lethargic and dopey for the rest of the day and bit of the following. Was all back to normal after about 30 hours I'd say and not a bad reaction at all in the grand scheme of things.

Re: La Rochelle v Leinster
Must be slightly gutting for Australians to see a player like Skelton bullying teams at the top level in Europe, they really can't afford to be losing forwards like him. Was like an 18 year old playing against the U12's at times, just a freak.

Yep, I was reasonably ignorant of what went on in the East of Europe after WW2 beyond the Iron Curtain going up but that really got me in this book. Files on what he did were only declassified in the 90's because he had been loyal to the Polish government in exile. Amazing individual.
