I really dont think there would be enough support for a lockdown at this stage. Peoples livelihoods being impacted again while vaccinated people arent getting too sick just wouldnt have the wider community support it had.

I wouldnt be resting too many front line players this week - it is Argentina after all. In saying that, it is important that Carberry adds to his experience in the first team. I think there's scope for a bit of rotation, we aren't losing much, if anything, by having Henderson and Beirne in the seco...

Yes Reddan and Marmion are the homegrown equivalents. It's pure selfless play. No ego - just get the ball moving.

I think that’s the best i’ve saw Ireland play, ever. The variety we had in our game was unbelievable, trucked it up, tipped/shifted ball when needed to and weren’t afraid to go wide or to the air either off first / second phase 2018 was special given it was us breaking the duck but that was as good...

AS I said, I'm sticking by it

What I will say is that there's a comfort on the ball from 1-15 that we've rarely had. Was nice to see Ryan getting some offloads in again. If we try and play the same way we'll at least go down fighting, if we try to control the game and play conservatively, I can't see us winning. We were very go...

My mistake he is 29
We are going to pulverise them

Whatever his age, Lowe's turning circle will be tested mercilessly by these lads if he's put out there.

Boxcar Ira

Most people, including me, are surprised that Lowe is in the squad. What's worrying is that most people aren't surprised that Murray, and POM are also there. All three should be kicking their heels for the next four weeks. I haven't seen a single person on here defend the POM inclusion. He'd strugg...

Looking back fondly at that Munster team, they probably gained so much popularity because they were so flawed and almost pub-rugby like in a professional world. The half backs were like yappy little door-mats. Centres and wingers smoked 40 a day and were on speed dial to the Chinese. Forwards couldn...

On a serious note - I'd say weather plays a part. Our weather probably hones great golfers. But you wouldnt play tennis here in November

Boxcar Ira

We do alright in individual sports like golf and boxing. Had some good cyclists and middle distance runners in the not so distant past and we'll see more track success as demographics change.

I think tennis is just shit.

RIP Paddy.

With all the O'Riada stuff in the media recently, I never realised he was only 40 when he died. Hell of a paper round.

Boxcar Ira

It's always financial. Rugby is being slaughtered by the GAA in terms of playing numbers. Playing numbers = memberships = subs etc. And apparently 50% of the population are women

Work friend got married. We're buying a voucher for a fancy pants dinner for them. Where should we send them? We had an incredible meal in Mulberry Garden a couple of weeks back. Nice setting for a wedding gift dinner as well. I love that place. Havent been in a long time so glad to hear it is stil...

We're going to rely very heavily on Snyman I think. You'd be confident facing anyone with him on the pitch. Not so much without.

Christ but we could all do with a bit of rugby back on our screens to distract us from the insanity going on around the place. not if that rugby was the lions. :thumbdown: Agreed.

Either way, it takes a lot of brass neck to criticize the Aus or NZ policies from this side of the world.

Out of interest, how are the vaccination rates coming along in NZ? I only ask as we went from lockdown to lockdown and it did us no good (I appreciate that your situation is slightly different though). I think at last count we were something like 122nd out of 122 developed countries. Something Jaci...

Spent plane fuel is CO2 and water, essentially. Converting aviation fuel (which has already been fractionated from crude or some other precursor) to some polymer would be hideously energy expensive.

Well I'm sticking with it.

Yeah it's a great story though

Cammy (or whoever has recent experience with this), wtf is happening with construction and material costs in the last 12 months? The numbers my QS is giving me for a house renovation at the moment are absolutely eye watering. The money has to go somewhere I suppose. You cant go on your nice trip to...

Sorry to hear that Joey. Must have been horrible.

Doing it in UK aswell arent they? Still playing very cautious about the whole thing. Official Irish government advice is that if you've been double vaccinated, you don't have to isolate if you're a contact and have no symptoms. So with 80% of the adult population vaccinated, why waste money doing t...

The fruit & veg is cheap and I wont argue with it's nutritional content. But it literally tastes of nothing.

Would be interesting to see the age breakdown of that though. I'd say most 20 somethings would have very little issue getting back on it.

Bad news for any 80's or 90's bands hoping to make some retirement coin.
