Crystal and was concurring with said opinion.

Entirely off subject but there’s a young fella Tony Butler playing with garryowen who is from Ennis I think. Out half and in the academy Very very impressive. One to watch.

On the bench for the U20s this week alongside the other Clare man.

Very mature for his years I thought when i watched him play recently. Serious boot and brain for a young guy, game management was top notch. Impressive

Programme about Mike Ruddock’s time in charge of Wales on BBC2 now. Looks good so far.

Recent 6 Nations have confirmed to me a swing in personal perspective. I used to detest the likes of Back, Johnson, Carling, Andrews guscott and Healy and would.look forward to seeing us try draw blood from the cunts. You’d be pumped waiting for kick off.

These days, while still looking forward to beating them, I don’t harbour the same bloodthirst. Wales now hold that mantle the meaningless cunts. I now find I actually don’t mind our English counterparts which is a very strange thing to find myself comfortable to say. 20 year old me would be disgusted with myself.

To the weekend, Im a bit worried about set piece where I think they could trouble us. We’ll see if Healy still has it at scrum time, crucial he holds his own at scrum. Having seen the French man handle us, they’re going to try strongarm us and play attritional and for field position. Lot of high ball coming Lowe’s way too which is a worry.

For us, think we’ll look to shift ball as quick and wide as much and fast as possible. Think we can make hay in the midfield and wide channels when you look at team sheets. They don’t look cohesive, they’ve 48 missed takes so far compare to out 29 and there’s gaps there to be found and capitalised. Our backrow should have the measure of their opponents at breakdown if POM is on song and we’re better in the loose. Johnnys kicking, both for touch and goal, has been dicey. Shores that up, think we’re well equipped.

I hope whether winning or losing, whether best on park or game in the balance, Sexton is subbed off and Carberry is given 25/30 mins. Scheme of things, world cup should be dictating decision making and more important to us then tomorrows result

Dan Sheehan to score 1. Beirne doris or ringrose man of the match. James Lowe to reaffirm his vulnerability in defence and high ball

Ireland by 8+ with 3 tries.

(Disclaimer: the above diatribe was constructed while under the influence of a substantial volume of fermented hops, considerable intake of fermented grapes and, just a touch mind, of locally fermented grain. Those with a penchant for staking dough on this game should either completely dismiss said ramblings as I likely will too somewhere between 815:9am or share spoils if wager realised.)

Hope we sew it into the cunts and do it with style.

England these days are nice but dim.
Courtney Lawes seems a genuinely lovely man, but

Ireland will win comfortably enough in the end.

The poor lad can’t help himself giving away pelanties.

Have you seen the poor hoor interviewed? He’s like an innocent abroad.

I’m not overly bothered, but you’ve the Camogie, which always has an all female studio panel, and all presentable ladies in truth, no men. You’ve a lady generally on the hurling panel , and now youve two women and a man on the rubby panel.
Tokenism should work both ways.
