The train system in Italy is both excellent and cheap. A Great location to stay in is Padua. It is only 25 minutes by train to Venice, 25 minutes to Vicenza and about 30 minutes to Ferrara. Each one of these lovely small cities have something different to offer. Vicenza is jam packed with amazing Pa...

Us too. Cheika should have made a couple of changes this week but did not. We will see some for next week.

If fit, big if...maybe it's time for SOB to move to 8 to get our best players on the park I think leavy is outstanding and can't be dropped and I also believe we have a better balance in the pack when POM is there Stander is incredibly solid but limited and Conan is failing to push him out although...

We don't know the situation with POM, SOB, VDF, Leavy and Stander and won't unless they're all fit this Autumn. We also don't know the centre situation. 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 14, 15 look decided I would be flabbergasted if POM and Stander weren't set in stone from here. I'd also be very surprised if R...

Plenty of other countries have fit women and presumably fit woman teachers , but they never seem to hit the news re cherry popping

Lucky bastard? It could be a girl.

Conan for the last game so. Suggests that CJ has been told to empty the tank.

I thought the midfield will pour both in terms of defence and attack. Obviously RingRose will come in next week but the question is who will he partner?

Adetroy

Actually, the answer you gave is an absolute no-no. It’s regarded as one of those fake weaknesses, which are not really meant as a weakness but actually “look at me I’m amazing”. You need to come up with something which doesn’t sound like a reverse compliment to yourself

David Humphries Performance against the all Blacks in about 2001/ 2002. It was Richard McCaw’s debut game. We lost, but not after giving them one hell of a rattle in the first half. I think at one stage we were about 18 or 19 points up. Humphries was superb that day, one of the times that he deliver...

SOB against France in the WC was pretty special too but I suppose ruined by the indiscretion that partly led to our subsequent demise. Heaslip against France in 09? Sexton against Pumas in 2012 (although I'd accept that being discounted as I discounted Trimble against SA). BOD against France in 200...

Heaslip against prices Grayco. His absolute peak as a player

Yes, I know some people will not respond, How about the greatest single performance given by an Irish player for Ireland in their entire career? My pick: Andrew Trimble v South Africa 2006.

Did Keatley ever actually line out for Leinster? If so, probably the first person to play for all four provinces.

Depends on the style of player and how they adapt. Billy V wants to maximize contact, Heaslip made a career out of avoiding it. Heaslip was never injured until the big one they ended his career. Ryan looks like s far cleverer player than POC. He hasn’t even reached his peak potential yet and he’s a...

Simply agreeing to any old half-arsed bollocks proposed by Downing Street doesn't constitute being flexible and imaginative. And neither does agreeing to an EU /Irish land grab.

Headline in an article written by Ree Moog in the Telegraph “If the Irish Government obliges us to choose between the Republic and the Union, then we will choose the Union”.

Finals are rarely great games of rugby and this was no exception. Too tense to really say I enjoyed it, more relief in the end than anything else.

That was a shite second half. That is all. Actually you were shite in both halves. One player started from our Hec 15 from last week and you desperately needed a win so put out your ''best''15 Well it wasn't our best 15, but there you go. Best available, but we've plenty of off field problems this ...

If it is Lancaster for the Ulster job It must be a pretty clear indicator that he intends a run at the Irish job when Schmidt leaves after the World Cup. Spend a year at Ulster turning them around and he will become a very strong candidate for the Irish job. There may also have been an element of th...

I hope that any No voters will also be seeking to repeal the 13th ammendment which allows women to travel for abortion. If you believe that abortion is murder (its not) and you idly stand by and watch women travelling to England to get one, you are essentially complicit in what you believe to be th...

without trying to come across as a Thatcherite right winger, the unions were already running amok in the 50s and 60s with antiquated work practices which left British industry unable to compete with the Germans, the French and the Italians. It also didn’t help that because of the destruction of the...
