Anyway, who's going to the Autumn tests? I'm not sure whether I should be looking forward to them or not? Joe had a slow start start with Leinster, I'm worried it might be the same with Ireland. Although I have no problem with enduring some short term pain for long term gain (excuse the shite clich...

Thought Keatley was excellent tonight, hope he gets a good run of HEC games now. He put in some great performances last year but was consistently dropped for a misfiring ROG. Penney's game plan suits him, and having Murray inside him should help massively . We had enough of that carry on in the Sum...

Yeah they can hardly brag about the respectful hush for kickers anymore when half the place is empty.

'Shame on you ref' remains the highlight of the night though.

Well based on the last few weeks of the Rugby Championship, we've signed an exact replica. Only Kirchner can actually make a front-up tackle.

I've switched to the Connacht game and it's not much better. At least somewhere some Welsh people are being forced to watch Dragons vs. Zebre.

Heenan looks quality.

Link here lads. Use Media Hint extension if you're not in the UK.

Thought the finale was absolutely magnificent. A perfect end to the most carefully and lovingly created TV show of all time. So many great moments: Walt clearing the windshield a la Fonzie; that shot of him closing the double doors; Badger and Skinny Pete; Jesse driving away; and Walt's last moments...

Its kind of hard to leave legolas out though given what they have done with the films. I thoroughly enjoyed the Hobbit (maybe because i wasnt expecting as much). It almost banished the memory of the last LOTR film from my mind thank God. You didn't like return of the king? :shock: Sure it was long,...

Can't help thinking the branch have f**ked this up, again. There'll certainly be more one-sided games this season than last, which is surely what they should be trying to avoid? Some clubs who seem to have more sway than others have seemingly found themselves where they want to be, regardless of las...

So...back to talking about rugby. Any news on Henderson's injury from the weekend? Would love to have him available for the AIs.

Earl the Beaver and Conspicuous - Still a better love story than Twilight.

Just been watching last night's AB-Arg game on YouTube, and I reckon our best chance in the autumn is to hassle the shit out of Aaron Smith. He's great on the front foot but he's a disaster when he's under pressure at the ruck. A few times he got swarmed and just flung the ball away. Oh and we need ...

So I'm watching the Castres/Racing match. I'm struggling to see the intensity/different level that we're all told about. Garvey just scored a try that would have been ridiculed had it happened in the Rabo. Anyway, Sexton playing well. Not watching it very closely but he looks to be one of the best,...

If the Aussies have the likes of Pocock, Higginbotham, Ioane, Beale etc. available in the autumn, they should be slightly less abject. They're a f**king rabble at the moment though. The Argies should beat them next weekend.

Can you get BBC iPlayer where you are? It's up on that already. I use Media Hint as a Chrome extension and I can watch it.

Christ, Drumcondra is already thronged with stickball fans. I must say I'm impressed by the magnanimous gesture of some Cork fans who have decided to wear Munster jerseys. Obviously just there for the day out and they don't mind which of their provincemen end up winning.

I couldn't help noticing recently that Bruce Craig and Nigel Wray seem to have been sporting a brand new fur coat and a crown respectively. This is a sham, and a farce, and a sham. Connacht are going to tear Sarries a new one, I can feel it. Then Matt Stevens will sing 'This is the End' and they'll ...

Sky and BT are not chums. Sky have a deal in place with the ERC and are standing behind it. I would like to see them release more data on ratings/subscriptions. I suspect we (Ireland) are contributing far more than is being let on. More people watched the All French final and the All Irish final on...

I agree, if the club what to start playing this shit, bring it on. Did I read that some Rabo team have shown an interest in joining the Eng/Fre wit kant competition? That is bad news I hope the rabo teams and unions stick together or else we are collectively f**ked. How is the wit kant competition ...

Has anyone read the ST extract of Sextons book yet?! fudge me......he's having a fair old moan. Still swiping at ROG as well. Shut the fudge up Sexton and move on. Whatever you may think about the merits of his opinions, I'd always rather read something forthright and honest. I read bits of Jackman...

About half of that is accounted for by our jubilant celebrations the last time we beat Argentina at home by a point. Oh no, wait...

Did you hear the news lads? Austerity has officially been cancelled because some lads sat down on O'Connell Street earlier. I would not be happy if I was heading home and had to sit waiting for these morons to move on. Hilarious video on the Times website: 'They say they're the 99% but it's just 12 ...

Only three established centres in the squad, so he may be having a look at Henshaw or Fitz there.

That must be the best episode yet, unbelievable stuff. Will anything come of Jesse telling the Nazis about the tape at Hank's house? Poor old Marie's troubles may not be over yet... Also, in the flash forward, something has driven Skylar & co. from the family home. Maybe just the shame of the Heisen...

1. fudge off 2. It's been discussed alright and with no outstanding fullback at Munster it could happen Are we likely to see Felix Jones in green again? He looked very classy before the World Cup when he actually put a run of games together. Although his neck-first contact technique seems to be yie...

I can assure you it's merely a Def Leppard-inspired pun. Some Hall and Oates ballad would probably be more applicable to those two.

What's the craic lads, noob Leinster fan here. I've lurked for a while so I might as well join in now. It's either here or boards.ie, where I'd probably get banned for using the wrong font or something. Just on the Munster fullback discussion, would love to see Zebo get a run there and see how he ge...
