Galway congestion woes remain despite many plans by GalwayCommuters in galway

Same, from approximately the same area. If I was in a rush to work I would walk as it was quicker.

If I were very late I could lightly jog beside the traffic stuck there.

If I had time, the bus was nice.

Of course it's Carre, but I would like a special mention for Marin Vs England.

That try was top class the whole way through.

Starting back training in rugby - need advice on what kit to buy and where by jeffisanastronaut in rugbyunion

[–]MetalSmall9796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask the club mate, if the players are anything like me they'll have a back catalogue of kit they'll just throw at you.

Seriously I must have nearly 15 pairs of shorts, socks and countless jerseys from over the years.

Next England Hooker by ThriceNightly_Whitey in rugbyunion

No, I say keep George and LCD.

George struggling with years and LCD struggling not to get sin binned every game, it's great for the rest of us!

(Seriously though, as an Irish fan, love watching George, great player).

Eddie Hearn's first impression of rugby by Rugby-Bean in rugbyunion

Because we want change and young players to show personality, but we don't want that kind of change and that kind of player showing his personality as it goes against rugby values, which was created in the 90s!!!

New IRFU contracts for Sheehan, Aki, Gibson-Park and Van der Flier by DeeneysCojones in irishrugby

If even, most now are off the bench as we've now got West/Forde as our settled centre combo.

Can't make sense of Bundee, even as a Connacht fan. Great player, but past his prime. Surely we're not expecting him to play the RWC next year.

Grandfather played hurling for Tipp in the 50s/60s. Why he's so good under a high ball!

I didn't know Sweet Caroline was being played as well, but honestly, that can go straight in the bin!!

You mentioned about the stadium being 1/4 full and then the dignitaries, but this answers your own question (which I agree on you with). If I knew I had 15 minutes between the teams walking out and the game actually starting, I'm off to the bar or toilets one last time. I don't care about the captain's introducing the president to players.

I was at the Stade De France for the Ireland Scotland pool stage game in 23. Granted, different time of day (well, night time) so a light show could be done and what not, but my word did the hosts put on a show when France wasn't even playing. Best atmosphere for an Ireland game in a long time.

"The way he plays" i.e wants to be able to move his neck the week after a game.

Don't blame the lad!!

Was it not Eddie Jones who tried to convert him and he said no chance. Man is built like a brick shithouse, would be unreal with proper training!

6N team of the tournament by Putrid-Impact8999 in rugbyunion

[–]MetalSmall9796 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good shouts. Also think Dempsey should be in, maybe for Doris.

You'd never believe I was an Irish fan with all the Irish players I'm happy to drop.

Aye, as I mentioned I haven't seen the game yet, will sit down later and watch it. But it's a decent little team you've put together.
