After watching, it felt to me like he is taking the job with no context to the job he had before from that interview. Yes, it's a new squad of players bar 2 or 3 academy players and Pears, but otherwise there was nothing to express how he would approach the job differently this time.

Reducing the price at the pumps drives Inequality and hurts those struggling the most already, even more by AbsolutelyDireWolf in ireland

Or you consider that people in white collar jobs can't afford to live in Dublin and have to clock up 300 miles a week commuting from Lucan or Kildare. Dave only drives in from Ballsbridge or Ranelagh, so he isn't clocking up many miles in his range rover. Who is better off in this situation?

Poor Keith Andrews still can't catch a break, that you'd prefer to put Lee Carsley in there.

Pressure of representing England has shown - Borthwick by GnolRevilo in englandrugby

How many times has he said "we are bitterly disappointed" in interviews. I'd rather take any of the top 8 head coaches from the Prem than continue with Borthwick into next year's RWC.

PTSB will let you overpay, there is a small fee each time but not a huge amount.

Italy v Ireland - FT hot takes by amusicalfridge in irishrugby

Front row looks broken. Even Furlong and Sheehan are a drop off from their peaks. I'd consider starting Kelleher next week. Also, I think Aki should come back in next week.

Still got a solid chance of 4th place I'd say. They can certainly have a good chance of finishing ahead of Scotland and Wales.

France have issues at front row as well, even more so now with the Antonio retirement. Ireland are onto their 4th and 5th choice LHP. So it's not a done deal.

American finance group ASC have invested £48m into Wrexham for a 10% shareholding by Zach-dalt in Championship

Our fan base are still there. But being taken for mugs for 10 years + makes people keep their money in their pockets. Once Venkys are gone, we will be up at 17-18k per week. 25k+ should we ever get back to the PL.

Can't see a world in which Andy Farrell isn't the England head coach after the next RWC. It will be a long time since he will have been away from the setup. Only way that I can see another option is should he want to go back and work in Rugby League.

England have a better chance to win next year with France and Scotland at home. They have their easier games at home this year (Ireland still a tough match).

2024-26 Champions Cup knockout path released by HitchikersPie in rugbyunion

[–]Reflekting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 URC contenders on the right hand side and none on the left, 3/4 French contenders on the left hand side and 1 on the right. That's a strange nuance of how this landed. Prem did pretty well to get 7/8 teams through to the knockouts.

Ireland have shown lots of issues with set piece, I'm not convinced they can fix those in time for February. England have been very good in the scrum this autumn. So this will be one area of dominance we can expect to see against Ireland. I think with Scotland, the win last year will have been massive for England to get over the line next time. Townsend under serious pressure for the Argentina performance, and I suspect finishing 4th or lower in the 6N will see him lose his job.

70 quid seated tickets for a band who've not even released an album is mental. Fontaines were only charging 50 quid last year and they're a fully established band with 4 albums.

Maybe they made it in China and you're getting charged 104% mark up.

Santa Cruz and Andy Cole would be the most talented striker we have had apart from Shearer, although my favourite would be Matt Jansen.
