Take a DG and try score from restart

Not unrelated ...I remember years ago Biarritz playing Cardiff i think...needing score 10 or 11 trys to qualify out of a group and started to forego conversions.

@clontarfbrian.bsky.social @gortoshay1.bsky.social I know the family real well. Coached alongside his Dad , he's a good kid. Worked hard to go this route into Leinster. Think Scott Penny mark 2....very aggressive at ruck time.

Scotland , the Jay Cartwright of international rugby.

Made in Leinster , born on Sandymount strand

There's always a bit of pub chat on line 2011-15 NZ v 2019-23 RSA about who's the best. Much of it moot as both are happily double RWC winners. But the sheer consistency of NZ , 10 out last 13 TRC titles and near 90% win rate in all games ( 88%) during the 2010s has them a cut above imo.

And OF in Reidys🫡

Ha I'm not sure

As @gortoshay1.bsky.social says we never want to see a Brown Thomas meme again

A 5 month bookmark. Impressive 🫡

Was working today so had half an eye on laptop watching test. Well maybe more than half
Enthralling game, Aus needed to match their defence with the power they had with ball in hand.
Ran out of road when they power left pack. Lions winning when misfiring/18pts down. JGP, Genge, Beirne pick of bunch

I think your summation is fair , I just think Scott is the guy you bring on for Maro , who is unlikely to come off.

Ryan coming off early is just a precaution in case McCarthy doesn't make it. If Joe's fit, Ryan won't be in 23 imo

Interesting to see some players being asked to do things outside their comfort zone, like Stuart filling that role out on the 15m channel. I did think the Lions missed VDF in that link role out wide at times. Adv of playing regularly with coaches system

Aus attack so poor. Young Lynagh will get flack but there's no shape outside him

Massive by Beirne at counter maul.

Farrell, all his selections being justified.

Sorta knows what he's doing.

JGP Russell running the show.

#Lions

The gripes online from Irish lads about a young Irish player getting called up is quite something. The veil of oh won't someone think of the other nations slips fairly quick.

👇🏼

Galway 1980 vibes

Never mind Wales,
Worst performance of the international window thus far , Justin Marshall.

Stats like that are only part of it.
To have him as Irelands joint worst forward!

Ah here. Ryan Baird!!

Real ignorance on french depth and players that have dominated u20s for last 5 years

They just don't know most of french players names.
Ridiculously ignorant

All the kiwi media disrespect talk all looks a bit silly this morning.

a man is laying on a couch wearing a blue shirt and making a funny face . ALT: a man is laying on a couch wearing a blue shirt and making a funny face .

I'm just trying to see how I'd react as a Welsh man if Ireland lost 20 in a row and lost to Japan..... pity? sympathy?
