And the massive deal being made about Ioane and Sexton too. Jesus wept.
Not great viewing. I’ve been flicking between it and Dan Breens fight for Irish freedom on TG4. Himself and the rest of the Tipperary column wouldn’t approve of irelands call methinks😂

Solid red zone offense
Time is ripe for some scoreboard separation. Cmon goise.
Chainj to the long established time slots of sporting events is generally shit.
TEST MATCH RUGBY in this part of the world has always been Saturday afternoon. That’s what we imagine it as. That’s where it should always stay. 2:30pm on a Saturday afternoon is the optimum. I think the November 2021 TEST MATCH between Ireland and New Zealand at Lansdowne Road was a 2:30pm throw in and that was a smasher.
TEST MATCH RUGBY in this country is about seeing massive white South Africans entering pubs like O’Neill’s Suffolk Street in search of massive post-match feeds of stew at 6:30pm on a Saturday evening in November. Where can Mr. Massive New Zealander get his post-match feed of stew tonight?
When a new event comes along there is scope to explore non-traditional time slots.
Leinster did this with Friday night when the Heino came along. Friday night rugby means Leinster playing Edinburgh Reivers in a crucial Heino group game at Donnybrook which they blow in the last minute, it means a deathly tense Heino quarter-final against Clermont on a Friday night in April, it means a Celtic Magners Pro12 game against Connacht at the RDS in November beo ar TG4.
Friday night is Leinster night, not Ireland night.

Pass inside by Lowe looked well forward there
