There's history. Genge played the same dirty tactics against Furlong in this same fixture 2 years ago at Twickenham

McCarthy has a tendency to chase the big hits which leaves him tackling air/non-ball-carrying oppo far too often. He can be maddeningly ineffective at times. He's been anonymous today Hopefully the chat at HT straightens him up. Otherwise I'd hook him. Him, in the zone, Id prefer to keep out there....

Our bench is stronger than England's.

This game will open up in the 2nd half

Miguel Indurain

England are playing better than I expected.

I think we have enough to weather this.

Bundi and Josh playing really well

Ref was all over the shop.

Never say die from Ireland

Very enjoyable contest, let's hope we end up with the win

ideal result, as you say enough in that game for the coaches to keep the pressure on the players

The journalist Michael O'Regan?
Sad news for his family and friends.

A good journalist.

Cardiff Connacht match.

Cardiff players are wearing socks of different designs each.
Is there a kit problem at Cardiff RFC? A players protest??

I don't agree. I think I'd prefer an independent source of income and editorial independence for RTE, especially with the prospect of a Shinner giving RTE the orders they receive from Belfast. Agreed. O'keffee joined RTE in 2003. She was/is a pal of Conor Hayes who was RTE CFO from early 2000s to 2...

The conflict is a very good example of how hard it is to be moderate these days. Any sort of 'you need to look at it from X or Y's perspective' is met with accusations of support for all actions by X or Y. The only reason we have peace in the North is both sides grudgingly accepting the other sides...

Miguel Indurain

Nope, can't agree here - what Israel is doing can't be condoned and the only tools open to us are to make them pariahs in the spaces they want to share with the west. I gather you're big into the pro-Ukraine side in the war there, do you think we should rescind the various bans on Russian sporting ...

The other thing I'd say for Stockdale is that loads of wingers seem to have a mid-career slump. For example, Earls and Trimble both started well, had a slump in form/confidence before returning better than ever. Stockdale was in a similar form/confidence slump and serious injuries have elongated it...

Twickenham game, makes England favourites for this tie.

We have England in Twickenham too later in the tournament

Ok. So decided to end the great mystery as an adopted kid and find out where I came from. Turns out I have a sister and I'm 82% Irish and 18% Scandinavian. They even went so far as to list the area as southern/central Ireland. Guess that's why I always like Keith Wood and pulled for those blokes in...

Every time that there has been a major technological leap there has been a prediction of mass unemployment (metal-tipped plough, cotton loom, factory automation, railways for mass goods transport,.......). Somehow or other another whole new set of jobs get created, further up Maslow's hierarchy (an...

Robot, or Bot for short, is interesting. We use the BOT to validate our information inputs. Place a dot or a decimal place in the wrong part of the data input - and the BOT rejects the data validation. No flexibility whatsoever. On an economy of scale, it makes sense for a company to have a BOT vali...

P.s. a sad day for Welsh rugby. A sad few weeks. Never had the pleasure of speaking to the King - but what a legacy! There was a documentary about him a few years back that I think is worth watching. Can’t quite recall what it was called but will look it up. It just followed him around whilst he wa...

Just saying, but if Barry John had not retired so early in his career, their would be little talk of Phil Bennett. Bennett was a very different sort of player, with Edwards inside him, Fenwick and Gravell (mostly), two beasts of men for the time, outside him, and a back three of JJ Williams, Gerald...

About as poor a performance as I can remember (and we do need to go back to the 90's for something similar).

Did think Willemse should have got red for the first shoulder charge.

He had a good game, although the French try in the second half, late in the second half, was a clear knock on.
Apart from that error, he had a good game

Miguel Indurain

Delighted with that result. I thought at one point, after Crowley missed the penalty at goal, that France were going to comeback in a sustained away. Thankfully they didn't, or more likely they weren't allowed to do so. Thought Gibson Park had a great game and should have been MOM. Beirne and McCart...
