Just watched the 1947 Brighton Rock with Richard Attenborough. I always meant to watch it and Attenborough plays his totally nihilistic character with complete conviction- highly recommend particularly as it seriously still stands up even after all these years. Well, after you told me in categorica...

And I'd fancy Leinster to win both.

I'd love an LR final if we got there.

Not trolling here, I swear, but I don't understand how Ulster type can say you're happy with the squad. Firstly, it's patently obvious you're all so giddy at the HEC SF that the league has completely ceased to matter (not something I'd agree with tbh). To that end, who gives a fudge how good your s...

Leinster have topped the league now so not massively bothered by next week, it can be used to get gametime for whoever needs it. Hopefully we don't see anything that even resembles a backs move. I would guess we'll see a sort of half strength Leinster side with a stacked bench. No one will really g...

Why were Munster resting so many players today? They've only the league to play for and this was a pretty important match. Are they all on suicide watch with ROG? Shedloads injuried Decent enough day for me,happy with the 2 results but Connachts performance was more satisfying. Keatley showed up re...

Three young Irish props on the field :thumbup: 4 young Irish props. Loughney is only 25/26 Even better! Earl - 23-21 Connacht. Three tries to two. 62 minutes gone. Good match (mistakes as you'd expect given the sides aside), both sides looking to attack We should poach him so he can really develop ...

Looking forward to the game now this evening. Haven't won an interpro since April 2010 so we badly need that monkey off our back We've performed well in 3 of the 5 so far, away to Leinster we were 12 up at half time but self destructed, not helped by a vomiting bug in the camp. Outplayed Leinster o...

Ireland are only playing 2 tests in November. South Africa 10th and Argentina the 24th. In between the two is a Wolfhounds vs. Fiji fixture in Thomond on the 17th. very disrespectful to Fiji. i guess it won't be an official test so there's no risk of f**king up our ranking if we lose. Oh and Irelan...

You really are a twat. You keep on quoting the right quote every second quote and the wrong one when trying to argue with me. If I had said that strong teams equals strong players across the board you'd have a point. But I didn't. I said 'stronger teams lead to strong ER players across the board'. ...

Someone on UAFC is saying that he has heard from within the Ulster set up that Brussouw is being targetted. Great player, but I don't understand the purchase. Henry is coming into his own at 7, but he could concievably be shifted again . We need another backrow, I agree that Henry is coming into hi...

You would think Ulster have enough South Africans already.

Ignore him and he'll go away.

Sparky should be banned for slandering Trinity Him even pretending to be going to Trinity should be a whipping offence. You go there? We could go for a drink sometime. What's the tipple of choice in the Pav? Can I answer this? I don't even go to Trinity and I think I may know, cheap pretentious bas...

No, I am sick of proving myself to you. You tell me where the trophy cabinet is :lol: You complete and utter halfwit, the thoughts of you doing medicine. :lol: Which trophy cabinet is this now?

As much as I like VDM, I think he should go for next season. We need McGrath to be back up simple as.

Just watched drive last night. Loved everything about it. The soundtrack, the style, the terse dialogue. Gosling was fantastic. Loved the ending too, though I'm disappointed about what the director said about it. he categorically said he's not dead, shouldn't have done that. Can't believe you guys a...

Court handling Botha whilst making 16 tackles yesterday obviously hasn't improved his reputation much. McAllister has a lot of potential, even if he is in a position where we already have a little it of depth. Healy is the incumbent and should be for a while, Court is backup lossehead, McAllister m...

Gilroy's pace let him down a little bit at the end when he was caught, a truely quick winger would've made it closer to the posts.
You'd really have to think a move to FB is in order.

Thought Tuohy was the best lock on show today, yet apparently he's Ireland's 6th choice lock, funny that . It's not, it's really not. :(( Henry was immense in the second half I thought. Made a fair number of tackles that just shut the runner down, including one on Mafi (?) that shut down an overlap...

I thought Craster giving away his sons was how he managed to not get killed/turned/whatever by The Others. Oh, it is absolutely. I was just wondering if in the books Snow actually witnesses it happening. He doesn't, but what happens is fairly explicitly explained by Gilly, as Joe reminded me. I don...

Just finished Blood Meridian for the second time there, no less disturbing, perhaps even more so. You notice a lot more symbolism, when you can really focus, on the second read through. It also helps when you're used to McCarthy's writing style, which is stunning. I'm going to give Moby Dick all my ...

Ok I agree thought Craster was too clean, perhaps the cleanest male on the show so far. Wasn't dirty old man enough for me. Stannis wasn't big broad and manly enough and melissandre not too sure, had the voice but not quite the presence or delivery. I thought Cersei's character was trying not to la...

Jamie Roberts out for 6 months,Leinster should walk the game on sat. Massive for Leinster. He was one of the few that could cause them serious problems.

But martin writes the scripts doesn't he? I read that he says he wasn't gonna work on the new novel much in the next couple of years as he is working on the scripts for the series. Still, you can never put a book exactly like it is into a show. Some stuff just can't translate. No he only writes one...
