I was fairly annoyed that the one time that it looked like SOB was going to take on the ball at pace and with conviction yesterday TOL f**ked the pass up over his head. SOB hasn't been carrying well this tournament. Whether that's because Ferris is taking it that bit wider or that SOB is suffering i...

That's another point; why do a lot of men hang around in little gaggles, talking nonsense whilst doing very little exercise? Bunch of old women really! Usually, it's the Posers. It shits me know end when doing circuits - two be-quiffed pretty boys sitting on equipment and nattering. They usually ge...

Did some proper exercise for the first time this week. Finally ran out of snacks in the house again so hopefully can go back to the healthier diet. Mostly ladies in the gym today for some reason, compared weights etc and I'm happy to say I'm stronger than your average gym going lady (obviously not ...

Beat the Gick in the promotion/relegation play-off tonight. We'll still be playing in J1 metro A next season.

Was an unused sub though. Dragged my arse to f**king Coolmine to watch us play. Not a happy camper. The cup can go and get f**ked.

J1 metro promotion/relegation play-off against the Gick tomorrow night. f**king huge game for us. We really can't afford to be dropping a division or else next year the gap in the competition level between our firsts and seconds will be huge. AIL 1B to J1 Metro B. Only problem is that they selected ...

Everyone has that issue with getting it the first few inches off the chest. Once I get my upper arms past being in line with my torso I'll finish the rep out generally. When you say chest press machines and the likes do you mean seated chest press machines with the counter weights etc? I find them a...

Dom Gallagher tore his ACL last week playing for Ulster. He'll be out for 9 months. Massive blow for him, he's been absolutely class this year. Hope he'll still get a chance to impress with the academy when he's recovered. Think our head coach is shitting himself a bit. Our firsts are going to be pr...

The Red Wedding was a right kick in the teeth alright.

I don't dislike the last couple, but I found them harder going than the first few. I guess the fact that I sort of read them all one after the other could have contributed a bit of burnout. Just too much of the same characters.

This morning: Hang high pull: 60x3, 75x3, 80x3, 85x3, 90x3 Bench press: 80x5, 85x3, 90x2, 95x2, 100x1 Pull ups: BW x6x5 DB seated shoulder press: 25kg x8x3 Cable face pulls: 45kg x12x3 Wall angels: 12x2 The last bench rep was very messy, but I got it. Front of my shoulder has been a bit sore recentl...

Forgot that you've only just had a new addition. The wee one would need a fair bit of minding all right. I hate shorts with an inner lining for the gym. Just a decent pair of shorts which aren't too long/loose. Any liner has me fidgeting my junk around quite visibly in the gym which might look more ...

this is the bit I wonder about- the lenght of time allowed. Ive seen plenty of penalties blown for players not rolling away fast enough even though they had moved in a lot shorter than it took Bowe to ground the ball. Is there a time/guidance that the ref has to go by? Foley's take is pretty clearc...

Get the kids at a friend's house for the weekend and go to Thomond with the wife for the HEC QF. On the way back call into Kildare Village (it's on the main road from Dublin to Limerick) and buy some stuff. There's more than enough to tempt the wife in there. This of course involved spending a lot o...

Is there an outlet place anywhere near you? Heading to the HEC QF? Maybe call by Kildare Village on the way. Those sorts of places have Nike or Asics stores and you can generally pick a few tops and shorts etc for a reasonable price compared to the prices in Lifestyle Sports and so on. Rugbystore.co...

POM did well but I think allowances will be made for Scotland not playing their best game and POM will bench. He will be trusted more after that performance and I wouldn't be surprised to see him come on around 50/55 mins. I doubt SOB will be at full fitness if he spent most of last week in hospita...

He likes the posers, they don't mind him looking.

POM is clearly behind SOB as flanker, Heaslip's form has gone from bad to worse though. Can't be long before POM (or someone else) steals his starting spot. Can't imagine what he was thinking tapping the penalty that ended up with Reddan's try. Desperate to get involved maybe? I honestly have no id...

He'll be miles ahead of Leamy for one thing.

I understand your point of view but the Scotland game was our best performance in the 6N and POM played a big part in that. Bear in mind that Scotland being pretty shit playd a pretty significant part in that too. POM did well, but I'd have SOB straight back in. He's done very well for us. No massi...

In that penalty we hit the lifters before Gray hit the deck. Was a penalty for certain.

That's why he's a problem. Too many people repeat something like what he says. Does my head in.

Sweet jesus, Stats. Don't go saying shit like that out loud in case Deccie hears you.

Tough enough session this morning. The squad had the morning off as the firsts were in Oxford over the weekend but the seconds were off so a few of us went in. Seemed to take me longer than it should have, maybe the lack of competition with the others or something contributed. I always get through a...

I am just gonna say this, but maybe giving TOL a bit og game time was in relation to next week, imagine if reddan gets injured early next week. Having TOL having to play the majority of the match would be a disaster. Throw Marshall or someone in there with explicit instructions to whip the ball out...

Kidney has nothing to do with TOL running off on his own from a ruck.

I was certain that he'd be turned over after running away from his support. If the defence hadn't been tired then he probably would have been isolated.

The pr preview indicated that a few players have gotten the better of him in the set piece.
He rarely decimates anyone, but the fact that he's rarely beaten is his strength.

Delighted for Wally. Really thought he was done for after that tackle. Was fairly upset after that England game.

Great to see him back.

If Toner was with Munster he'd be in the exact same position as Nagle. I disagree. He'd certainly have fewer caps, but Cheika to a certain extent and Schmidt in a big way weren't afraid to use the younger guys so he wouldn't be in the same position as Nagle. He'd still have more appearances. There'...
