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.

Lion Test XXIII will be sleeping easy tonight.

This will have consequences. Why would the government risk potentially a few thousand jobs to appease a group of people who will never ever vote for them anyway. It’s just virtue signalling. It belongs in the student union. We are very vulnerable we need to be smarter. I disagree, tbh, we need to b...

Yeah, probably not.

Yeah, would have thought it'd be more insulting not to. Disagree. The Game is won. Penalty given as last play of the game so just Tap and kick it out. Spare them the indignity of the 100 and avoid any injury risk (albeit minuscule) Dunno, would it not be more insulting to say we're nearing your lin...

Did Portugal have none of their RWC lads, or what? Was akin to watching a junior rugby team at times.

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

JGP
F Smith
Kinghorn
Tuipulotu

Something like that?

Nobody likes anarchy lads.
Like the anarchy of a missing vocative comma?
I find both anarchy and anarchy lads to be distasteful.

Society's scrumhalves. It's all about what they want, when it suits them.

Well played

Can he prop?

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

Not bizarre at all - Shelbyville is packed with cunts.

Kid was getting me to check the most capped list and I spotted that if they haven't updated for today's win yet then the win today means we've now won as many games as we've lost at international level. 366 of each. I think it would be the first time that's ever the case, going back to the first Te...

Just grab yourself a nice gelato and ensure you're tucked up safely in bed by 8 o'clock instead.

Rome is absolutely hopping with Irish, never seen this many here the day before a game, tomorrow is going to be mental Enjoy it! Where you staying? About 5 minutes from the Vatican, have stayed in the same apartments before, very central Yeah, I'm a bit jelly. Enjoy - my favourite 6 Nations weekend...

Oh, and congratulations, Nols, top work

I have a couple of pals who were at that - they said it was great craic that was laughed off by attendees and then forgotten.

Munster J1 or J2 is the ceiling historically. Never been an AIL club from Kerry.

Player and set up wise, Tralee could certainly have gone senior a couple of times but opted not to chase it as was felt the additional travel cost would cripple the club, but they're a long way short of that these days.

Listowel and Kenmare. Abbeyfeale are on the border with a club, too.

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

There was a veritable fin de siècle feel to that. A number of those lads are either done or are already eyeing up the coat rack. Issue is, the stocks behind them are looking a tad threadbare.

Few lean years incoming, I fear.

As Doris Day sang, que sera, sera - but I think we'll lose.

Don't see the win looking at those teams. Tight French win, I reckon.

Ah here, Danaher is in the top 10 players I've ever seen come out of Abbeyfeale RFC.
