Beirne MOTM all night long.
Beirne by a long way, phenomenal

Genuinely think he's there with POC and Willie John as Ireland's all-time second rows.

Huzzah, indeed.

Doubt.

Testify.

Normal, run of the mill, comfortable victory in the end.

How awful. Wonderful player and seems a fine man. Deserves a whole lot more than this out of life.

Huzzah! Epic stuff.

We need a famine in Wales.... Was thinking a targeted 2 month famine would do most western countries a world of good. zappa "never struggled a day in his life" man thinks that the peasants need a famine to give them some perspective. what a wit kant. yes you were "joking" i know. Well said.

Duff, on the Irish thread your tune is constantly about us keeping our heads down, that the US is too big an entity to piss off. On this thread you're lamenting European weakness. Which is it? Stand up to the bully, or negotiate to the least worst option? Ireland overplays its hand; the EU underpla...

Sweet.

Fabulous Test match. Well played, Wallabies - loads of guts in that performance.

Marseille has been dodgy for over 2,000 years, to be fair.

Dewi Lake. Fine player but is he injured?

I wouldn't have had Genge, McCarthy, Chessum nor Morgan starting the Tests pre-tour but would personally have them now. Between the likely pack and the halves, there's enough there that I think it highly likely the Lions win next Saturday, albeit I don't think this year is a particularly fine vintag...

Ah, well.

May I steal Grandpa's picks and just swap Rose for McIlroy?

Louth winning the Leinster Championship surely qualifies as strange happenings in Ireland.

Genge
Sheehan
Furlong
Itoje
Beirne
Curry
Morgan
Earl

JGP
F Smith
Kinghorn
Tuipulotu
Jones
DVDM
Keenan

Kelleher
Porter
Stuart
Chessum
Pollock
Mitchell
Russell
Freeman

Something like that?

I find Milei utterly fascinating. He shares minimal DNA with Trump - he is far more coherent in approach and properly grounded in economic theory. Looking from outside the Argie tent he seems to have done a remarkable job and, frankly, is proving a template that many other countries could apply to v...

Ah, well.

One day at a time, dear Jesus.

I'm bitter. Old man had spares and asked me to go down with him. Turned it down as was already away with work this week. Only live once, Zappa lad, only live once.

Now we just beat Bordeaux followed by Toulouse followed by Leinster and we're quids in.

Christ.

The lads

Beginning to suspect that this year's Lions will be decidedly non-vintage. Might be the weakest iteration in a long time.

Allez, les Bleus

No better man for the job.

Man, that pizza looks good.

Feck this, I'm dusting off the 'aul Dublin birth cert.

Well, this is embarrassing.

I remember watching him recount the story of his father leaving. He was 13, playing in the street. Dad drives past, half-raises a hand to him, then never comes back. Brutal.

I know this happened 82 years ago to someone I never knew, but I still find this tale upsetting.

The NZ match for me (in an Irish context) - everyone knows which one I mean. Still not over it, but there's things in life you don't ever get over.... There was a game v France in the 90's where we played well but missed a few kicks in it and lost ... won't even check the records for the year... bu...

It’s best to view this as a sort of comedy series about a narcissistic trust fund baby who ended up getting elected as president of the USA

Mentally humming the Curb intro music before every Trump presser would have a salving effect.

Which one (probably best to be specific)

I'm a high-level, big picture man in life - I don't do details for fear of exposing myself.

Our best gambit against the Wallabies is to try and physically bully them. I'd have Curry starting right now, for sure.

She's maturing like a '59 Château Lafite.

Great game, well done, England.

F Smith is a terrific bit of stuff.

Fast forward two generations and virtually every country in the world will be trying to incentivise mass immigration.

Well, bugger.
