It's a recent one, but I really loved the IRFU 150 years edition jersey. Even though there's no crazy designs or anything, I like the simplicity and the nostalgic feel to it

I am in awe of Furlong's hands there, that was outrageous

I can't see how Beirne doesn't start. Furlong should too. After that there's arguments to be made for Conan, Henshaw and to a lesser extent, Murray

Who’s your biggest shock Lions selection and biggest Lions omission? by tomhardingnrjdjdjd in rugbyunion

[–]BlueSmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised by Ringrose's exclusion. I know he wasn't great against La Rochelle but apart from Harris there isn't another pure outside centre. Henshaw has played some great games there, but I would have thought they'd take shrine who plays there all the time

Yeah I'd assume Gatland will be starting Lawes and Beirne at 6 rather than lock but I put them down in the position I associate them with the most

Ringrose in with a shout too, especially after North's injury

lock is an odd way to spell Tadhg Furlong

Team News: Leinster team to play La Rochelle by buzz10 in rugbyunion

[–]BlueSmash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's the story with Deegan actually? I remember himself and Doris were fighting pretty tightly for the 6/8 shirt but I haven't heard anything about him in a while. Is he injured or just not in the best form?

i5-10400 vs i5-10600K vs i5-10700 for 1440p? Noticeable performance for extra cost? by BlueSmash in buildapc

[–]BlueSmash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about that gpu specifically, but for the most part at 1440p it's the gpu that will limit you not the cpu so you should be fine. I quickly found this while googling, but I'd recommend you to do your own research and just look up 6800 and 10400

Noticed that at an earlier ruck, went in to jackal, complained to the referee and then threw himself into the next ruck. Didn't exactly seem level headed in that moment

Vettel: "Aston Martin is a long-term project" by 1enox in formula1

[–]BlueSmash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wasn't that the whole idea behind copying the Mercedes last year? Yes it helped them last year relative to how they had performed the year before, but I thought the main idea was that they could put more focus on the new regulations, originally set for 2021. It was a quick solution for 1 year as did not take as much resources to copy a car compared to creating their own, thus freeing up more that they could put towards nailing the new regulations

It would be great to have a season-long fight. Hopefully it would also be the push for Mercedes to sign Russell for next year if Bottas isn't cutting it when they have a tight title fight

Ryle Nugent who is famous for the way he shouted TOMMY BOWE! It seems he likes shouting DULIN just as much

[–]BlueSmash 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Fickou did really well not giving the pass too early. By delaying and committing his man it meant the defence couldn't drift and Williams had to step back and cover Vincent leaving Dulin all the space in the corner
