A good article by @thejournal.ie on the protests and there infiltration by the fascists. Its a balanced look at what's going on. #speirgorm

All over. 47-14 to secure 2nd place assuming France win Grand Slam tonight. Excited to see more of POTM Tom Wood for Munster this season while Christopher Barrett is as exciting a scrumhalf as Craig Casey was at that level with superb pace. Love U20s 6nations. #Rugby #IrevSco
Super first half in the Cork sunshine has Ireland 28-0 up. Plenty of exciting up & coming prospects showing their skills. #rugby #Under20s #6nations #IREVSCO
A showery afternoon here to enjoy the Under 20s in Cork v Scotland on rte2. 7-0 to Ireland after 8 minutes. #rugby #U20s6nations.
The U20s set the tone in Bath on Friday and the men's team were singing the same tune in Twickenham. Superb in attack and defence. 100% Physicality and intent. #6Nations #Rugby #ENGVIRE
Late change as Tony starts at 10. JJ not available. Fineen injured during warmup. Not sure if he can play or not. #SUAF #MUNVDRA
That wind is playing its part as Gloucester pinned back Munster. Hopefully in 2nd half Munster will take adv of it. 7-3 not a bad return in these conditions. Main highlight other than try are the lineout steals. #SUAF #MUNvGLO
Great energy from the Brass Monkeys before #MUNVGLO. Miss our WT buddies scattered around the park. Very breezy but dry for now. Ready to #SUAF
Yes they can and the cherry on the cake is a penalty try giving a bonus point away win to Munster! Kudos to all the squad and coaches. Plenty of 5 🌟 performances but the focus was on Jack all week and he delivered in spades. #SUAF
180 tackles made so far by Munster in 67 minutes! Superb kick by Jack put Munster into the right half of the pitch after being camped in their own half for so long. As Simon said Axel would be so proud of this display. #SUAF
Doggedness, hunting in packs, putting bodies on the line... What a passage of play!! Defence was awesome. Fineen is everywhere and Tadhg is a maestro. Can they hold out for the remaining 18 minutes? #SUAF
Fabulous first half by Munster. No holds barred on both sides resulting in unfortunately high injury count. 7-21 scoreline despite scrum under pressure throughout. #SUAF #LeiVMUN
Cheers Cian.
Any update on Leinster A v Munster A? Hope Roman goes well on his long rehab journey. #SUAF
If you can, please read Naoise Dolan writing about her treatment after being illegally abducted by Israel from the Thousand Madleens flotilla. It's pretty chilling, and it's a drop in the ocean compared to what they subject Palestinians to.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

A short personal announcement from me:
Looking ahead to the incoming season, I would love to provide a publication/TV company with analysis on upcoming fixtures.
Can do it in English or as Gaeilge; whichever suits.
Have done so for Tuairisc and TG4 in the past.
Shares welcome.
Everyone should watch this documentary. The horrors of the suffering in Gaza. The bravery of the medical staff amidst the carnage & cruelty. Man's inhumanity to man is too evident in Gaza, Ukraine, ICE camps and too many other places in the world. archive.org/details/gaza...
This is incredibly distressing but needs watching, to see the horrors the Israeli gov and IDF are committing
Well done Hilary. #speirgorm at its best.
So that's where smithereens comes from or is that the gaeilge for the english word?
A fantastically executed try. Kilgallen is an animal on that break out, and then Crowley's kick is just perfect.
That bend to take it just over the top of Mapimpi and away towards the tryline - superb.
