There’s going to be some very very tired lads tonight. Talking about the Scottish posters complaining about referees? Sure its their national favourite past time, they are bound to have a bit of stamina. Reckon they can whinge for a few weeks yet 👍 It's Matt fucking Carley. Teams complain about him...

The ruck has become an absolute shit show and needs to be radically overhauled. Rucks should be a contest of strength and technique, not mass and velocity. It should also be contested between players on their feet. This is very rarely the case and World Rugby are entirely responsible for it! Both r...

I think we can rule Joe McCarthy out of the trip, unless he grows a brain between now and the squad announcement date.

Conclusions from the weekend (we already know most of these anyway): -Wales aren't as shite as most people think -Ireland aren't as good as most people think -England play an absolutely rancid brand of rugby to watch -Scotland are bottlers. Don't have the bollocks to win big matches when they are on...

It's not like Ulster are missing any players due to the internationals. Every match it seems that Ulster hit a new low of shitness. Regardless of whatever talent they may possess, they must be the dumbest team in professional sport. I can't imagine another group of individuals that are paid to do a...

Is that the Benetton 2nds that cuffed Ulster? They normally struggle during the international periods. It's not like Ulster are missing any players due to the internationals. Every match it seems that Ulster hit a new low of shitness. Regardless of whatever talent they may possess, they must be the...

We have France in Dublin.

TNT can go fuck themselves, the heartless bastards. My Discovery + that I use to watch cycling is set to go from £7 p/m to £31 p/m thanks to the fucks. I get football, cricket, Gallagher Prem and tennis in return. I have zero interest in all of the above, but can no longer watch sporting events that...

The tournament format needs a serious boot up the arse. Its a joke. I'd prefer to go back to the classic 6 groups, winner of each and 2x best runners up go through to QFs. The 5 groups of 4, with winners and 3x best runners up is also acceptable. But it seems that 6x European games is deemed excessi...

Genuinely embarrassing for this awful tournament that Ulster are in the knockouts 😂😂😂 Got completely tanked by Toulouse, Bordeaux and Leicester, and then were shite in the 1st half against bottom of the GP Exeter's C Team, then played one decent half of rugby against a completely uninterested side i...

Irish qualified............

He has about as much chance of getting an Irish cap as I do.

2 shite teams playint awful rugby in Leicester tonight.

Ulster need to hook Morgan ASAP. He's fucking awful.

Pearce

The most obvious red of the weekend so far. Lukey didn't fancy upsetting the locals and gave a yellow.

This shit is why people are moving away from watching rugby. Referees have too much power and their decision making ability and consistency is utter shit.

How much are the WRU on the hook for if they sack Gatland?

Is sacking Gatland going to make much a difference? Apart from Morgan there doesn't seem to be much quality in the side.

Are the Saffers the only team that don't celebrate scrum penalties?

Need more Ben Earl and Andrew Porter.

If this was a boxing match it would've been over after 10mins.

I'm genuinely impressed with them that they haven't conceded another 2 tries. They are getting an absolute battering, but not sure many other teams would be matching the Boks in this form.

Tough subject. Think the Swiss probably have it right but jeez, an absolute minefield. Maybe slightly crass here but its a relevant topic for me at present as I'm looking at a few policies, but what are the life insurance ramifications if you do assisted dying? Is it like suicide and your family don...

Quality test match, really enjoyed that. England need to fix their defence. For all their attacking prowess that they have, you should not be conceding 42 points at home. But happy for the Aussie karnts. The rugby world needs a strong Australia, and for them to be a pack of hateful arrogant c*nts :t...

Congrats NZ. Comfortably the better side. That was utter shite from Ireland. Bringing Dad's Army off the bench didn't seem to work. Hard to see what some of them bring to the party apart from "experience," especially when one of the first things 80+ cap Hendy does when he comes on is give ...

Last time Trump won an election, Chicago happened the following weekend (if my memory serves).

Ireland by at least 20.

Fat fuck in my school year got called Slim.

All this does make me wonder if it’s us being led by the nose by our liberal media, and maybe we are not quite as clever as we think. We’ve stuck our head in the sand and spent 2 years laughing at Trump without perhaps getting the nuance of what he is saying - I’m not saying he is a clever guy, he’...

Old Joe probably doesn't know what he's grinning about tbf

Looks like he's about to call it and Harris is away for a kip.

Jesus, Americans are a bunch of mad bastards

Paddy Power has Trump down to 1.3 from 1.56 earlier today, and Harris up to 3.5 from 2.5 . . . . . .

Furlong out.

Big loss for Ireland given how strong the Kiwi scrum looked v England. Bealham is capable but have absolutely no trust in ToT coming off the bench and holding up a scrum after 55mins.

I'm sure its been discussed before but how did the pandemic effect voting behaviour in 2020? As in which candidate suffered the most due to society's restrictions at that time?

WTAF was George Ford doing with that tackle "attempt" for the 3rd try? He's a yard away from touch, any kind of hit with his shoulder and the dude is out. Why on earth would you be attempting a wrap tackle in that scenario?

because when they clip a game up it's consistently one of the most popular if not the most popular clip from a given game on social media. which might say much for rugby that what the casual fan wants to watch isn't even part of the actual playing of the game viewer participation and engagement are...

Ask any gringo sports fan about rugby and they'll know next to fuck all about the sport outside of Matt Damon captaining the Boks to the World Cup, and the Haka. I get that it has cultural significance to Kiwis, but World Rugby and broadcasters love whoring it out for commercial gain / brand awarene...

I find US elections quite entertaining but the sheer number of attack ads on Trump I see on social media, Reddit, this thread, the language used by the likes of the BBC etc., to describe his events, leads me to believe that both sides are as bad as each other when it comes to spreading shit about th...

Television Match Official (TMO) protocol, empowering officials to spot clear infringements in the final phases before scoring. Vague BS. The laws need to clarify and specify exactly how many phases. Agreed. This one will be a shit show and lead to more replays, more dramatic gasps and boo's from th...

Fucking idiot, and laughable legal system. Put the cunt behind bars for a week or 2, and if that doesn't work, hit him with all sorts of fines and the prospect of doing real time. The family shouldn't have to deal with him showing up and acting the cunt whenever he fancies, and getting a slap on the...

Hard to see past Roglic at this point. I always had Mas down as the Spurs-iest rider of the current global peleton, always good but never having the bollocks to actually win something. But been really impressed by him so far. A standard fuck up/crash from Roglic, which is usually a decent bet, and i...

Don't think I've ever seen something quite as punishing as yesterday's finale :eek: Looked like a standard Cat 1 finish for about 14km, with the Hardknott Pass thrown at the top for a laugh. Vlasov's face chasing Castrillo at the end was a picture :lol: Some performance from Castrillo, Ineos may hav...

LRZ did not make the Chiefs squad. They re-signed JuJu Smith-Schuster and gave him Zammit's number earlier in the week. Will be on the practice squad, and will technically be on waivers so another team can claim him if they want (won't happen). The other UK players, aren't on squads either. Travis ...

Seemed a decent bloke. Couldn't tame the "Golden Generation" though. Euro 2004 will always be the one that got away.
