Jesus wept lads.

We had a bad day at the office against an Oz side who were desperate for a result.

A lot of fringe players got their chance or improved their standing and they’ll all be going back to their provinces with stuff to work on.

Australia have a lot of very good athletes and experienced halfbacks and they were very smart about disrupting our attack. All in all, a pretty good window with some decent stuff and a lot learnt about the fringe players. McCarthy will be back to the drawing board and hopefully sharpen himself up ar...

There are a lot of very high profile pundits and ex players hyping Crowley, it seems like a lot of them think he could be next.

We only change our tens every decade or so and it looks like he might be next.

He's already won three Pro 14 championships, and been at the business end of the HEC a couple of times. WTF would he want to move ? Timoney moved North, improved dramatically, was one of the best players on the pitch in Ulster's win over Leinster in March, and is starting at 7 against Fiji tomorrow...

I am with you a bit, Connacht Munster & Ulster could all do with a player of his talent. 23 is older than I thought he was tbh, he should be trying to get a move on. Just turned 23 he wants to win things he will get chances He's already won three Pro 14 championships, and been at the business end o...

Herring was delcared third choice hooker on the Prime commentary, shortly before they pointed out he has played in 6 of Ireland's last 7 games and scored in the Third Test against the ABs.

Hume was very clearly the form 13 in Ireland at the end of last season and is only just back from injury. Unsurprising to see him getting thrown under the bus when he was playing between two Leinster lads. He is going to continue to feature. Balacoune will have done himself a lot of favours at the w...

The first Maori game was poor, the second one much better. First AB game poor, second and third much better. We're reliant on systems, timings etc working as our skills still aren't at AB level, even if they're a lot better (our tries were quite nice, tbf). I'd see today as a complete system failur...

POM is coming off a career-defining contribution to the NZ tour so I can’t see how he is going to be anything other than integral through the RWC.

I think with the whole stomach bug thing, the wind in the second half and agent Frank, things could be very different second half.

Munster could be going alright but the error count has been crazy.

Are you saying there wasn't hands around the eyes? They tried to niggle Vermeulen and he grabbed the guy by the head and then pinned him down. The Munster fellas initiated it and there was no harm done. The crowd are looking a pen for a wee hand on the shoulder now, Munster gone very soft. Will you...

Frank is an absolute joke.

Where else could you get a lecture on the civil rights movement in NI from somebody who is getting on like John Hume never existed?!

Yet you continuously and repeatedly accuse 'us lot' of supporting SF and the IRA as if we're on an opposing side.

It's the attitude of the likes of you that keeps up the polarisation.

Somebody better tell the football team, the games up.

Northern Irish is not a nationality. Northern Ireland isn't a country.

It is a descriptor of where you come from.

Those are facts, even when typed by me.

Very imperialist mindset.

Armchair_Superstar

We can be both British and Irish, but we can't call that being Northern Irish because it was banned in the GFA.

Knock off for the weekend lads FFS.

If Sinn Fein win this election and the DUP refuse to take their seats again, Northern Ireland is gone It will show that fundamentally the country does not work.

Fair play to the Wasps fella for speaking out and being so honest but some of the delusions are still there.

There are two inherent problems in English rugby, too many clowns with delusions of grandeur and a complete lack of discipline from the RFU.

I suspect we are going to see these "evacuated" civilians from Kherson being used as human shields to cover the Russian retreat.

So the UK now have a lame duck PM and the whole kit and kaboodle is being steered by the rear seat driver in no 11, who has already been defeated once in a leadership contest, and has fúck all chance in the next one unless the rules are changed. And then, if they get rid of Truss, she becomes the E...

Luke fitz is such a moron they were discussing how well Jenkins was doing and the extra heft he was giving.

I’m guessing the Ukrainians won’t put big numbers over the river until they have destroyed Russian artillery in range.

I can see why Ulster aren’t thrilled about this tour but I do think it is beneficial for the young players and Ireland coaches to work together. The youngsters get to feel like they’re progressing their careers and it gives Nucifora et al an opportunity to make better decisions on contracts in the l...

Ukraine are giving Russia a lot of problems with a smart and highly motivated volunteer army and some carefully selected American weapons systems. Unless Putin has completely lost his mind he will understand the Americans would finish them off in a couple of weeks.
