Re: Free School Meals
The media/twitter etc has quickly suggested that these meal parcels are supposed to feed a child for a week, rather than compensate the parent for 5 school meals. They've also assumed that 5 meal parcels are supposed to over 10 meals. It's unfortunate, because it distracts from the main point, whic...

Re: Battle of the Celts: Ireland v Scotland, Sat Dec 5th, KO @ 2:15pm
POM is on the wing as he's one of the few forwards we have with the skill level to do things out wide (and despite being slow he's still quicker than most of the rest!).
Dane Coles is always on the wing off multiphase for the ABs for the same reason (though he is quicker and more skillful!).

Almost a great finish tbf.
As Horgan is saying though, it is crazy the amount of isolated carries we've had. Against better teams we'd have a couple of players making dominant tackles and winning our ball.

Jammy there.
Ross B in a nutshell there, walks sideways towards Herring before passing it, so when Herring receives it he gets both tacklers.

I guess Murray was taken out after his kick which slowed him down.

Re: Battle of the Celts: Ireland v Scotland, Sat Dec 5th, KO @ 2:15pm
His knee was down there so it was a fair call.
But the previous one wasn't down, and the ref called too early, so by being shit and not calling it, Henderson thinks he can rip.
