Howdy Gents, sounds like you're all keeping well! On this, anyone have any recommendations on a facilitator for a UK import? Is there a company that will handle all the delivery/admin sh*te for a fee? There are companies that sell UK sourced cars here and sell them to you with Irish plates, but non...

Okay ... I am booked ...

Heading down to Oz ...

Going to the ANZAC game in Adelaide ...

Touring Wineries for the rest of my time ...

And hitting the Second Test in Melbourne with a crew.

Let me know if you are around!

On the Schools budgets - Michael's head of rugby was on The Rugby Pod earlier this year and said that their budget worked out at €4 per player per hour. If every single student spent ten hours every week playing rugby, you might get to about half of that quoted figure. In reality I'd imagine their ...

anyone ever fly Vueling ? heading to Paris, much cheaper return going with them and its out of Orly so dead handy - some of the reviews on trust pilot etc are shite but half of them are just dumb travellers, i mean flyers ; sounds like they'd bitch if they didnt get an olive in their martini (or mi...

Craig Casey's speed of pass was a joy to watch last night. We need back-up for when JGP is not available for whatever reason & Murray is rarely at the pace needed. Both Casey & Blade are minute but at least they can zip the ball away. Ruck speed & pass away remain crucial areas for Ireland when we w...

Anyone on here driven any IC yF or E Paces? Are they up to much? Seen a few knocking about on used market and herself form some reason, seems enamoured. For some reason the brand has clearly resonated with her, because she couldn't tell. VW Touareg from a Lada at the best of times. I have driven th...

Fiji were below par but Ireland were actually better than the other games.

Let's see what we do next ...

Chris Ashton is far more likeable in commentary than you'd expect. I guess Ash Splashing doesn't actually make him an evil person lol I agree, He was on the evil list for years for being a show-off. But seems he's grand ... Always amazed how he could wind people up. Had a few cvnty moments on field...

Indeed.

At least they scored.

Well done, Wales!

:thumbup: :thumbup: The Craic will be awesome in Dublin tonight. My takeaways from the game: Roigard > Ratima. TJ on the bench next week? Roigard to start? Huge shift from Aumua.

The POM bashing is a f**king howl. He wasn't on the pitch for 70 minutes lads. He didn't flop tonight. Distract all you like. That Irish pack offered little. No phase play/retention worth a damn. Passive. Mistake after mistake. Crowley was no better than ok. At best. His replacement was worse, a LO...

Not a great show by either team if you are neutral ... what were you beating as a performance? Last week NZ were poor against England. Ireland were looking a bit thread-bare today missing a few key players. But both are not to be underestimated if they are full strength. But glad I didn't pay for 4 ...

Yeah, a bit meh ... & non-stop unforced errors killing ability to take low possession & convert into a win ...still ... time on the clock ...

Botha Boy

So to be clear ...

All Blacks are the Trumpists

Ireland are the Democrats

... Right?

Munster marketing shite, I hate it tbh. Hate the patronising "Respect the Kicker" stuff of the screens these days too.
Are you the c*nt with the air horn?
I think the Vuvu is due a comeback.

F.ck that needed to be the solid finish to the half and we did exactly would the worst scenario would be, give them a sniff, points and a card. Direct route is the clear way to go in this game. Berry is letting Ireland lie all over the All Blacks side but it actually will work in ABs favour as he k...

Thank God, it's not an Auto-Red for those challenges anymore which was kicking competition.

Still tedious game so far ... both sides need to up their game ... looking well their below ranking.

Come on!

Please.

Atmosphere is usually poor enough in the Aviva - has been since it was redeveloped, imo. It's particularly poor the last couple of years though. I don't know if there are more corporate tickets being sold or what, but jesus it's bad lately. Bizarre considering how good we are. Look at the price of ...

NZ need to pick up their game.

Close to being manshamed by England if they don't get more ball control.

Casey’s best game for Ireland? Looked calm out there for the most part and that 50-22 was class 👏👏 One he needed to go thru & has remove to improve to a higher level. Needs more game time at this level but right call to replace JGP. Ireland's winning game plan lives & dies by rapid ruck ball & dist...
