Another example of how Lion Tours seem to wreck players

Thankfully our second best tight head has been playing regularly and not playing third fiddle to a French import.

Always found it odd that Irish fans wanted Irish players out on the meat grinder than is the LOINS.

Is he the lad who’s got a promotion in Joe Molloy’s podcast recently? He’s maximised that rugby punditry skill of using a combination of jargon and audible gulping to make it sound like he’s saying something of critical importance. Very similar to Gerry Thornley.

Couldn’t tell you because no chance I’d be listening to a podder with Joe Molloy in it

Ate too many spuds maybe?

Very sad news

That’s a disaster. The people running these competitions are clowns.

I like Sarra Elgan as much as the next guy but it’s a shame to see the sport of rubby union die at the hands of lack of FTA coverage.

Gerry “Thorns” Thornley has called it

  1. France
  2. Ireland

Think it all depends on this weekend.

If England turn Ireland over it’ll become very difficult. Can see them losing to Scotland and France.

Get a win this weekend and they should go on and win it.

There’s a nice staleness to Ireland that Easto has a tough assignment to sharpen up. Between shite lineouts, Ports/Big Joe being penalty machines and a few key backs like Hansen out of form it could be a tough Spring for the chaps.

The SDM have spent the last two weeks suggesting if things don’t go to plan it only highlights how much of a genius Andy Farrell is.

Faz has brought his old pal Nucifora on his Lions jolly.

The goys will really need to front up this weekend

I’m very skeptical that we’ll hit our straps and pull up (remaining rural Irish) trees. I’m predicting a game that’s won or lost at the breakdown.

It’s going to be a real arm wrestle up front

We should beat Wales and Italy with our caps or by two points a man. Scotland are afraid of us and we have England and France at home. Worst case scenario we go 3/5 but 4/5 is a more realistic outcome I think.

If they lose this weekend they’ll be lucky to win two games.
