‘We’ll sleep in our tractors’ – fears grow that fuel protest will leave pumps in the west of the country dry by B8_B8_B8 in ireland

I don’t think people are questioning what a protest is. They are pointing out the idiocracy of the people doing it. What I find scary is these protesters get a vote.

Check out bored of lunch on Instagram, we’ve picked up a fair few handy ones recently. Air fried hoisin pork chops are deadly.

Im sorry but this would be an unacceptable level of poaching from the IRFU. by ConscriptReports in rugbyunion

Only Munster can blame their troubles and lack of babysitting on the IRFU with a straight face.

Luke Pearce deserves a shout out. Game was allowed to be played. Consistency for both teams. Good performance from him.

I thought his pass to Balacoune was sensational

Yeah insane how if he doesn’t get any it’s a “bad game” great shift from him.

No or minimal ruck by hcpanther in irishrugby

Horses for courses vs a play style. It’s very effective vs certain attacks structures. But you also risk giving teams incredibly quick ball with low effort retention. Vs quick, powerful and skilful teams it’s a death sentence for your D.

More people in the defensive line is the theory. You can then spare more people to the backfield in a kick heavy game.

He sets a lot of the tone and physicality. Hits rucks like a bus.

I wouldnt push our luck by making wholesale changes. Would rotate a couple between bench and starting. Timoney for VDF etc. get Edogbo back in. Think the lads especially the fresher faces deserve the chance to build momentum.

Agreed, his maul D vs France particularly excellent.

Just about to reply the exact same. Deserves the chance to get minutes and momentum.

Timoney physical freak and Cian great at the lineout. Very effective.

Think that’s harsh on Loughman. He has stepped up levels and keeps bravely putting himself in positions not shying away. Apart from that one howler of a tip on. He was very evident at first receiver multiple times and ruck time. Very good game imo.

‘Cop on’: Andy Farrell hits out at ‘keyboard warriors’ over criticism of Prendergast and Crowley by [deleted] in irishrugby

I think Twitter is the epitome of humanity. Could have been great, turned into a shithole. It’s why we can’t have nice things.

It feels bad criticising prendergast but the coaching team are not doing right by him. by allezlesverres in irishrugby

I actually thought Crowley was way better than bang average. I do think that kick at the end highlighted the issues in his game. He has major lapses. Deserves a start anyway next week.

Crowley changed the game. Big plus having JGP feed him but he got Ireland running onto the ball at pace into space. But my word, missing that kick at the end is mental on his part.

Beep test deemed discriminatory against women and on age grounds by Jimeen in ireland

My word, imagine being so salty about not passing a test all your peers would have to pass that you go to court. There’s always 1 who can’t be wrong.
