The scope of an audit is the current/previous year accounts. What are they going to do? Get a valuation for a property for 20 years ago? Are we saying they didnt audit the current/previous year accounts for 10 years though? And while I left audit as soon as I could, I believe there is a standard th...

Anyone watching any of the schools games? Gonzaga had a great win over Clongowes. Got a bit exciting in the second half

The biggest evil of Brexit is that it destroyed M&S. I wonder how long it will last here.

Rewatching now. Bad from Hansen to turn his back for the quick lineout. Porter botched the clearout the first peno. We're actually doing well and getting some quick ball Was a closer game the second time I watched. We got a couple of rough breaks in the crucial 55-65 minute period. Advantage over c...

I think it's a pretty reasonable use of the word "we".

Except when you recall the difficulty they had with the dog warden

I just watched the 04 Ireland v Wales match;

Wow - good timing there. F*** off

I think we'll be better against France. There was an element of chasing a big score against Wales and really sewing it in to them and that didnt quite work out. I expect we'll be more methodical. Our defense will face it's stiffest test in a long time though. How much possession can we expect to hav...

Boxcar Ira

The nice thing is he could have picked both Earls and Balacoune and we'd still have looked very good

Boxcar Ira

If I were ever to apologise for anything, I would be happy to apologise to Andy. But that wont ever happen

Boxcar Ira

Henshaw and Henderson on the bench probably. Good problems to have.

Boxcar Ira

"Power Playz" was the buzz word wasnt it? One interesting move every 3 or 4 games.

Anyway, great to see how we have moved on. Way more sustainable as you say

Boxcar Ira

I thought Sexton was brilliant ball in hand today, ran some great lines and caused havoc because Wales didn't expect it. Cute Kerry hoor. Unbelievable. The options they have with Bundee, Ringrose and even Furlong. We're unrecognizable from the Schmidt-ball days of flopping in to contact Is it worth...

Well that was good.

Even though they were really sloppy at times, they looked like they were on another level to Wales.

Boxcar Ira

We cant have a discussion about outrageously talented 10's who never quite made it without mentioning Jeremy Staunton. Best player to get less than 5 caps.

Doesnt seem a likely story. Unless they were transient farmers / fishermen.

The way we're all going on about Hansen's defence, you'd swear he was Jacob Stockdale 2.0 He's missed 11 tackles in 9 games this season, and I'd say a few of those were in that Munster game where he wasn't fully fit. That's 1.2 tackles per game. Baloucoune, of whose defence we are all raving about,...

I'll put money on Aki getting a red card too

Boxcar Ira

Good team. I'd worry about Hansen but mostly just because I havent seen him tested defensively. Wales will test him I'm sure.

Hopefully we'll enjoy the same possession we enjoyed in November and get him on the ball a lot.

Feck me, good luck Ireland. This is when they’re at their most dangerous.

Yes we've been around long enough. Ireland, France and England all looking very strong. Put your money on a Wales Slam.

Im not bitter I have said I can go with Hansen A 35 year old on the bench who has done nothing for 4 years with a world cup 18 months away I do take issue with But I seem to have made a lasting impression with you, thats nice That's the silly part. Saying he has done nothing for 4 years. I can get ...

Anyone watch the program on Irelands number 10's it had interviews with pretty much ever 10 from Gibson who moved to 12 to accommodate Barry McGann. That kick against ABs looked over! Good interview with Brian smith, forgot he moved to Rugby league was only 24/5 when moved. It was funny that most o...

Time will catch up with Earls but to be fair to him, you couldnt use last years form to write him off. He no more looked liked 30 something winger.

I've a good feeling about Farrell, he'll make the right calls.

Boxcar Ira

The excitement of this seasons play-offs is causing havoc with my sleep. Another brilliant night.

I only took an interest again in NFL in 2019 and the Bengals were the worst team. A first pick the following season resulting in a Superbowl the next is a great endorsement of the draft system.

You can still get an authentic experience in Corrigans!

Can't believe the Bills lost, actually somewhat gutted right now. Really was pulling for the poor bastards. What the fck did Buffalo ever do to deserve this?

Ireland wont be significantly better than Leinster while England and France will obviously be a lot better than Wasps, Bath, Montpellier etc. It's going to be a cracker this year. Wales should be better than the Ospreys too.

Boxcar Ira

All Munster players/coaches so defensive about their sh*t style of play in interviews. It's got us through so it's worked Blu-tac sales are on the up. Some of the Munster young lads are seriously powerful. We havent seen homegrown ball carriers like that in a long time and it makes such a difference.

It's 'nannystate' fuckwittery, end of. State interference into the lives of citizens to further this puritan social agenda that has grown legs in Ireland. You can call it that. Again it depends on where you come down on how hands on you want a government to be. I'd be happy enough to live in a utop...
