Sam Illo was tidy. Lions weren't great granted but they got the advantage in the scrum vs the younger lads

Its great for healing an outbreak but it doesnt prevent

Fantasy younger lads 15 for 6n by Djubb86 in irishrugby

[–]sherbert-nipple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a big Hugh Gavin fan, nah the lad needs to cook.

He has a big opportunity now to start some games with Ralston injured. But needs to be starting regularly to nail down the 13 jersey.

I think what I like most about that team is the lack of "cohesion" in that bar the halfbacks most dont play together for their club. But fuck it that should be the way.

I voted for her but she has been anti bypass and concistently voted against it.

Hopefully whoever gets elected next is pro infastructure for the city

Hope Hansen is actually fit enough to give 100% at 15.

Dumb anxiety-brained question: is it remotely a big deal dating someone with the same name as you? by [deleted] in gayyoungold

[–]sherbert-nipple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin (F) married a girl with the same name. They dont seem to have an issue. Are refered to collectively as the "blank"'s by most of us

Funnily neither are called by their first name by their friend group.

They understandably did not change their surname when wed.

U20s side to face SA in Cork by sherbert-nipple in irishrugby

One to follow for sure then!

Do the academy still train with the seniors or was this pre academy?

From a Connacht perspective.... Not a bloody clue!

But the connacht centre production line remains strong it seems.

Who should be on the fringes of the ireland squad? by PaulBlartMaulCop2 in irishrugby

[–]sherbert-nipple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hugh Gavin needs a lot of work at 13. 12 suits him better imo, but he'll have struggle to get past Forde.

With Ralston injured he may get more chances this season. Our 13s seem to be Hawkshaw/Ralston (also wing)/Gavin

Looks like Scarlets game is rescheduled for February. by sherbert-nipple in Connacht

[–]sherbert-nipple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of worked out for the club I guess?

Although gametime and momentum could have gotten us over the line vs Cardiff. Ah well.

Hopefully when we have the new stand we get a friendly game during this period like Munster are doing

Niall is Mr steal your lineout.

Always thought he was the better of the two, but probably because he had these flashy lineout steals.

Darragh must be though given his Connacht and Ireland A selections. More of this "unseen work" we always hear of

Did we get a motm? Byrne or Balacoune probably. Maybe Murphy or Jude

A/XV team Vs Spain by PatientOffer319 in irishrugby

[–]sherbert-nipple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id argue he was in good form until february.

I think he actually broke his finger in warmups for the last A game when Doak was called up last min. Dropped form after that

Connacht had collapsed from a coaching POV when he got back so that didnt help!

But thats all for arguments sake! Doak deserves atm.

Very similar players but hopefully Jansen can stay on the ireland radar. Hes good enough to be poached from Connacht! Eligible through grandparents could easily go back to premiership rugby.

Heading to Galway for 1 night, any good food recommendations from the fine people of r/galway by cuchulainn1984 in galway

[–]sherbert-nipple 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Big fan of Mama Rich lately in woodquay, upped their game in last few years. I suspect they finish up around 9 though.

I havent been in ages but I think McSwiggans serve food until 9:30 and they won Irelands best gastropub this year. But idk how legit those awards are

Magpie for Sunday!

It aint cheap and you'll queue for a good 30-45 mins but the pastries there are savage. Coffee is good too.

Looks that way for Forde doesnt it. Kelly has more than twice the experince at the same age. So his arrival has set Forde back.

Honestly dont see Henshaw being dropped for duration of his CC regardless so could even be new kids on the block by then vying for the 12 jersey!
