Planet Rugby Forum

It looks like we have some very good future prospects but we need to keep developing the facilities and pouring the money into it. So long as the facilities are for broader community use and the resources are being expended for the ultimate goal of increasing participation rates then I'm all for it...

Is Romania oversupplied? Seems strange that they would be willing to do this, if not.

I'd honestly rather watch 3rd division rugby than that crap. If that's what 'test match rugby' is about then you can keep it. Utterly dire. It's a step up in physicality and a massive, massive step down in creativity and watchability. Proper wash my eyes with acid stuff. Yep, I'm increasingly wonde...

In Cayman they have taken to bribing people with cheeseburgers and similar to get themselves vaccinated

Vaccination figure has plateaud at 70% - tourism (the biggest employer) still fully shut down in order to protect the idiots who won't vaccinate.

Overrated - Alcohol. European food-never tasted a single good European food at a restuarant , their best food is fast food lol they like to mock McDonald's and dominos but reality is - best white people food is fast food burgers and pizzas, their restaurant food tastes absolutely disgusting . No fl...

So, supping pints inside pubs is back now, lads?

Will book my overdue tickets home, so

When you look at this backline 15 – Willie le Roux (Toyota Verblitz) – 63 caps, 60 pts (12t) 14 – Cheslin Kolbe (Toulouse) – 15 caps, 40 pts (8t) 13 – Lukhanyo Am (Cell C Sharks) – 16 caps, 15 pts (3t) 12 – Damian de Allende (Munster) – 48 caps, 30 pts (6t) 11 – Makazole Mapimpi (Cell C Sharks) – 1...

That’s because you clap good play and support Ireland.

Ooh, you rotter

If it's any consolation, I had a very similar experience to this so you're not alone, buddy

These other countries don't have the HSE, Irish Water, or the Irish electorate. I can't disagree about the Irish electorate :lol: although I think for all the theoretical benefits of STV-PR as a system, our version of it and how it incentivises certain types of political activity is at least partly...

The cost of new build in Cayman has increased to $900/sq foot

It was $250-$300 pre-pandemic.

Ireland must be one of the most pliant nations on earth. Excellent for social stability and cohesion but facilitates nonsense such as the current restriction levels.

3 generations of the Cork Con Murphys played for Ireland - Noel Sr, Noel Jr and Kenny.

Human beings are so rubbish.

It must be a genuine fear at this point that children that don't have parents who are very education focused are effectively lost to fulfilling their academic potential by now due to elongated school closures.

I was happy for him... as long as he was healthy living like that.... but two strokes? And his sister bed ridden from strokes... and no one suspects the diet? I thought the same. Leave the frikin onion out of it. I’m still intrigued as to how the onion was prepared. Draped in gold leaf and cocaine ...

I’ve had several strokes. Once, I didn’t move for two weeks while I was in hospital. But my sheep helped me
State of the NHS in Wales, we can't even afford nurses.

Well played

Okey doke. Will ping you an email when back in Ireland if you're still scooping pints in Toners.

Yep, still have access to the Mod Cave.

You certain?

No, was fired for the misappropriation of the Mod Team Pension Fund.

Peacemakers of Niemba by Tom McCaughren Account of the 1960 Ambush of a UN patrol in the Katanga region of the Congo which ended in the death of 9 troopers at the hands of Baluba Tribesmen. Really excellent little book and the author writes it very well. My grandad was there. When we were children ...

Bit of an odd example. Texting/using a phone while driving is worse than drunk drivers. At least the drunks are looking at the road. You can spot the texters a mile off, they drop back and weave in out of their lane. I'm not saying the idea behind the law is a bad thing. I'm saying it's not going t...

The funniest use of the phrase was by my good lady wife a few weeks back. I gave her the nod and the wink while cleaning up after the dinner. The nod of how am I fixed later. She winked back, handed me the hoover and said the next two hours are critical. She has since decided to use it for everythi...

Anyone picks Kearney ahead of Girve in a Pro era Irish XV has no soul, it is as simple as that.

One of my family is fully vaccinated but lives in Qatar so pretty much can't come home. Hasn't been home for nearly 18 months now. It's a load of shite.

Pharmacies with the J&J vaccine for under 45's would get them over the line very fast. The vaccine centre in Cayman was doing thousands daily - about 16 nurses lined up taking about a minute on each individual. The numbers should sky rocket if supply is available. Covid is done - it's the siege men...

That's a terrific pace, to be fair.

Get the vulnerable vaccinated, open everything up and move the fuck on.

I am moderately confident about tomorrow :thumbup: For which team? He's from Terenure. :nod: His Da would be mortified for him. The day Stander announced his retirement he sent me on a pic of the two of them arm in arm with the tagline, "Just convinced CJ to do 1 more year with Tralee".
