Also a good shout. We've been in Fuerte and Lanzarote a fair bit. Wife is very keen on it.

Malaysia maybe in Langkawi or Penang?

Quick google - looks pretty fúcking sweet, good shout

Ahern, Edogbo, Hodnett, Coombes, Casey, Coughlan, Crowley, Nash say hi. Cool - make one of them captain. Not a single one of them would start for Leinster. you said producing talent.. i give you talent . did you ask about starting for Leinster... Do I give Fcuk That's the debatable bit. Which one o...

Casey doesn’t really strike me as captaincy material , still a bit of immaturity about him as seen at Ravenhill recently and he’s not the best decision maker. In the short term JOD will surely take on the role when playing , long term Kendellan is made for the role of he locks down a starting posit...

Seemingly Hellraiser is correct. Just spoke to my mate in holland, he has most seats but no other party will go into government with him so he won't be able to form a government

Its still a fucking mess though.

PoM stepping down from the Munster captaincy, I honestly don't know who should take it longterm. JoD is grand as a stand in, possibly Daly. Casey?

I don't know if it was because of the translation, but I thought 3BP s dreadful. Didn't finish it when I had less than 10% to go.

Congrats AB's. Phenomenal game. Your pack and particularly your back row stood up and showed what AB rugby is all about.

Still immensely proud of this Irish team. Best one I have ever seen.

Bounce of a ball and all that.

We could have, but we didn't.

Again.

We're bottlers. I know they all played their heart out but it's simply not enough.

Disagree. It's enough for me anyway. Rugby is like that. 2 great teams, one had to win. Bounce of a ball, a lad held up...such are the margins.

shabadoo

The AB pack still has 4/5 really great players in it. Taylor Barrett Retallick Savea add Whitelock as well The issue for them is that previously they played in packs that had 7/8 really great players. It is so much easier to look world class in that situation than it is when you have to cover for a ...

I think a comfortable enough win for France. 10+ pts. They have the physicality to match the Boks and the backline to score against them. Dupont is also a superb kicker, as witnessed against the AB's. Only question I have is whether the occasion will get to them. But I doubt it will. They are more ...

Pretty much every country will say they condemn Hamas and Israel has a right to defend itself, but Israeli reprisals must be proportionate and musnt target civilians or infrastructure. And then do precisely nothing as Israel does whatever it wants. Exactly. Which is shítty etc. And the status quo f...

I’m not confounding anything. I’m making a very clear and obvious point about munitions, tactics and warnings employed by one side and not the other to demonstrate the difference. The efforts put in to not argue the point but keep ploughing on claiming things that are factually incorrect has a purp...

shabadoo

They’re doing the exact opposite of this, they’re using as little munitions as possible and they’re incredibly expensive precision ordinance. It’s the opposite of the actions of Russia. We don’t condemn these actions because they’re not the same. You don't condemn their actions? Pretty much every c...

It may not be genocide, but they clearly have a lax attitude towards collateral civilian deaths. The unrealistic evacuation timeline and the impending conversion of hospitals into morgues spring to mind. They are bombi.g the shít out of a civilian population with nowhere to go. It's splitting hairs...

shabadoo

To put it another way. If we get to the final, both sides are probably able to beat us in equal measure. Maybe France a bit ahead but not massively. Could you imagine a) losing to SA and b) losing to SA as they win their 4th title? It doesn't bear thinking about! I think we have a far better chance...

https://twitter.com/Murray_Kinsella/status/1712749353599639851 Do we reckon he's actually going to play or pull out in the warmup? Well, it'd be odd if it wasn't strapped but I'll believe he's playing when he's there at kick off and not a moment sooner. Agreed, if they didn't think he was going to ...

At this stage I imagine asking Palestinians to kindly get rid of Hamas is probably be akin to asking the people living in ISIS controlled villages to just get rid of ISIS. Not going to work and will probably get you killed. "well if you can't, we will". "well if you can't, we will...evict 1.2 milli...

Israel now warning 1m people to leave north Gaza. Seems the weekend rumble is on. Can’t see how everyone could realistically leave the area now even if they wanted , Israel couldn’t care less now I suspect.

Big game for a 22 year old with just 4 caps. Opposite number is likely Whitelock. Is he up to the pressure? He has what - 150 caps? I'm sure he will give a decent account of himself. It wont be enough mind you. Mrbrown, you might be interested to learn about the time an 18 yo McCarthy beasted forme...

Quarter Final time and we have about as close to a full strength team as possible.

Ryan being the one injury - in what is probably our strongest position of depth.

Good times. Were going to hammer them.

Neither of these would surprise me. I fully expect Foster to revert to type and pick Christie.
Been impressed with Roigard, christie never looked more than functional when I have seen him, does he offer a threat ball in hand?
Only to himself

Very strong team. Sticking with my earlier prediction. Ireland by 15.

If Foster picks the right squad and we get our shit together, I think we'll be too good for them, simple as that. All the pressure is on them, the favoritism, the expectation, their undefeated run, the massive ground support, it's all on the line in this game. They probably unconsciously think they...
