Rip Jonah Lomu

On Thursday before the game, I sat outside our hotel in Coogee (near Randwick) for lunch with Campo, Philippe Sella, Sean Fitzpatrick and Damian Cronin. The wine was flowing and a cacophony of constant laughter bound around the swimming pool. Suddenly there was a solar eclipse as Jonah arrived beside our table and joined us for lunch.

Top notch article from Franno as ever

Didn’t touch my heart. I never liked Steve Lomas anyway.

New Zealand national flag raised in Limerick by Limerick City and County Council in memory of Jonah Lomu. Jonah was a guest of the city in 2008 when he turned on Limerick’s Christmas lights.

Hon Limerick, great gesture.

Picked up the Indo over at the in-laws today and Neil Francis seems in very little doubt that Lomu’s health issues were due to the over use of Creatine.

I thought this was being bumped as a result of the latest Irish Examiner round of back slapping.

Ah jesus, just looked it up there. It automatically diminishes what they did initially. Why can’t they leave it at the original article, it carries so much more weight.

You didn’t have this level of self congratulatory nonsense pre clickbait internet shite. I’m just waiting for the Economist to start doing it and I’ll know journalism is proper dead.

cian healy is fucked

It’s like Father Ted and panel beating the Datsun, you just think every tap is the one, until you realize you’ve made an absolute shite of it.

Who the fuck is he??? What a thick cunt :joy:

this has been going on for a while they’ve a referendum coming up on it.

On creatine? WTF?

Sorry that reply was meant to be about the flag.

So a country is going to change it’s flag to a rugby team crest?

Could this be the solution to what flag would fly over a united Ireland?

There is 5 options. Their current flag is an abomination.
