even if that works, is it appropriate for the government to have that as a long term goal ? Well I guess that is the million dollar question? How Big Government or "Libertartian" are you? Personally, I think it is a good thing that our government takes unpopular measures now that will benefit socie...

He scored a try in the last second of the game, without any bother He pulled up in the act of scoring. On current form Marmion should be first choice SH. I reckon JGP nailed down first choice in the Autumn. I'd agree that Marmion should be first backup though. Agreed. Murray is obviously in on past...

I have no idea what that means and how it relates to minimum pricing of alcohol ; do they think people will suddenly drink less ? and the age old question ...how come they're not all alco's in Spain/Italy/Frnce with the cheap booze ? (reason its an age old question is because no one pushing minimum...

I'll be amazed if Beirne isnt a starter. He's been too good.

Conway not so much, but I reckon he's a banker. Especially if Lowe is missing.

Boxcar Ira

He's just a brilliant carrying outlet. Aside from kicking, no one can do wat he does with ball in hand.

And the more we keep the ball, the less he has to defend!

Boxcar Ira

Very odd re. Lowe. I wonder is his arthritis acting up again? Strange one alright - those of us who bitched about his application off the ball, he put back in our boxes with his recent form. He improved that side of his game no end. I'm all for rewarding players who do that. He's a big loss alright...

Ten is amazing, Vs is my favourite though. Same here. Two incredible albums but versus was just awesome. Three bands that defined my youth - Pearl Jam, Pixies and The Smashing Pumpkins. Hyde Park, 8th July then I love Eddie. He's the best live performer I've seen, both as a high energy youngster an...

No way they'll get away with only giving it to healthcare workers. As mentioned above, many of whom had less exposure than your average bus driver.

1000 Euros for all, especially for those of us whose mental health took a bashing by being stuck at home all day with screaming kids

Lowry fully deserves a call up and I'd like to see him given the chance on the international to prove his size isn't a liability.

Can't wait til Zebo gets the nod

Hmmm. Scratches chin and checks the odds. Packers and Chiefs are the favorites to make the Super Bowl, although both would be <50% per the odds. The Chiefs definitely have an easier road to get there, especially in the AFCCG. No easy games in the NFC at this point, although the Niners will not be a...

It is about time we looked at splitting the province in 2 though. For the good of the game and all that.

Boxcar Ira

Leinster need to calm down a bit. These are the kind of results that will have the English and French leaving in a huff.

Boxcar Ira

Looks like we're passed the peak. Was this the week for peak cases? I seem to remeber that was the prediction 2 weeks ago. Though it might be down to people not going for PCR tests. Not much point looking at case numbers and not even sure positivity is still a marker. Hospitalisations is where it's...

As in postponement vs a 28-0? Maybe. But I still cant believe Leinster wouldnt be able to find 23 negative players who they could isolate from the rest for a week. That is bizarre. Over 30 out now. Not all directly related to the outbreak, some are close contacts of other cases. The difference betw...

It's disgraceful, Duff.

And when I am on here tomorrow begging for sympathy, I'll expect the same harsh treatment.

That's quite incredible

That's up there with the Lions tests amongst the worst rugby I've seen in recent years.

My French wasn't good enough to keep up with Poite and the TMO yapping away but think he did check it. If anyone else can translate the full match is already up on Youtube. I don't think he checked that one, checked the one where the fullbacks try, which looked dodgy in real time but was fine in re...

Boxcar Ira

I suspect they want to be paid to train and play like the English and French teams. They seem to think that they can ignore the first rule of professional sport - entice enough bums on seats that are willing to pay enough money that you can earn a living from it. No doubt because "they're worth it"...

"We're two weeks behind the UK" is the big thing now I see! Good timing.. Nah, they’re f**ked because they relied on AZ more than us and it doesn’t protect as well against Omicrom. Hence the panic. Also a good distraction for Boris. Seems to be all the rage on RTE this morning anyway. We're doomed!

The conditioning and athleticism of these young lads is something else. I know it's not just at Munster and it's not just rugby either.

In fairness, its because we're all legends.

Nice little piece with Jordan Conroy and his mum. Never knew anything about his background. Didn't have it easy as a young guy.

Nice

You're over egging the pudding, Cam. Murray is in decline and his style isn't particularly suited to the approach now. He's not dreadful, but there's little to be gained by playing him into form or anything. He'll deliver a minimum standard that's generally decent, but he isn't the future, or the p...

I really dont think there would be enough support for a lockdown at this stage.
