Really looking forward to the Leinster v Saints game, hopefully the weather cooperates & we get conditions both teams want. It'd be good if the camera teams & producers get their eyes in, because a GAA pitch is a lot bigger than a Union one, & it sometimes feels like they're shooting fro...

I do love my trail cam; it's always turning up surprises; I got it after i first spotted a pine marten bouncing thru the garden one summers evening.

Last week it captured two badgers in a, knock down, drag out fight.

Very pleased with that win for the $harks. Not a classic, but given our position on the log and playing on a cold Friday night in Wales it was a good win. I'm still not sure we're in the right form to beat Clermont next week, but at least we've got some momentum behind us. Whatever happens, it's al...

Ita an absurd position but some commentators on this thread still see everything through the filter of Brexit so they have to try and defend it. Also there is a free travel accord between Ireland and the UK which does not exist between France (EU) and England. the fact that England wants to free it...

I'm not a hang 'em high sort of person, but I'd gladly bring back hanging, drawing and quartering expressly for fly tippers. Nah, just put them in a pink jumpsuit, hand them a shovel & point at the pile of waste, & then to a skip, & tell them that they'll be spending 12 hours a day movi...

What is the world coming to when we have to speculate on how the Governor of South Dakota slaughters puppies and goats, why can't we just take her at her word and let that be an end of it? Yeah ! As long as she does the dispatch job properly, & doesn't fuck it up, & have to go back & re...

Ooooh, that's very harsh on the Dregs player. I had that as a YC, as there was a slight dip of the Connacht players head, & no time to react, but it's probably technically correct

You always should be careful saying things like that about them, because they capable of coming out in the next half, & scoring three quick tries in 15 minutes.

I don't think the EU would push for the €, or at least if they did they'd simply be saying we don't want you back (for now), because that's just the stuff of fantasy getting that past anything like the current electorate, I might not vote for that (I might, it's just far from certain in advance) an...

A lot is made (truthfully) of Harry Cole et al being client journalists of the Tories. As we’re on the cusp of a change of government it is worth remembering that their Labour counterparts exist too.
