Only a poor man’s version of Tommy Freeman (Monaghan).
Henry Slade is some inspiration to be still starting for England at almost 32 given his diabetes.
A cracking listen from an independent media source about the disgraceful treatment of Jack Crowley.
So the 2026 Six Nations will be FTA. Rubby is temporarily back from the gutter.
“The rubby” has already driven lads demented on here and we haven’t had a captains run.
Where are you seeing that?
The 6 Nations is a “listed” event as far as TV goes here and in the UK is it not?
The most accurate source in all of professional sport:

But what happens when we’re playing away? I think we can only deem home games as listed events.
It’s only the French game at risk in theory, and they’re surely not going to alienate the rest of the unions
Who knows. I really think the people running these competitions are clowns.

If that’s the team they’ll get beaten.
If they pick my team they’d win.
11 Leinster (2 qualified)
3 Connacht (all qualified)
1 Munster (Leinster academy)
0 Ulster
That’s pretty grim now.
So 5 non Irish. 10 Leinster academy. 0 Munster, Ulster or Connacht academy players
You’d have to say @BruidheanChaorthainn is spot on.

Something badly wrong right there.
