Stuey Tuesdays are back! Big signing for Connacht but there would be some fear that Leopold’s loser stench may have rubbed off on the Englishman.

Looks like a great signing

Yeah - a great signing getting the lad who was run out of Racing 92 where they were propping up the Top Quatorze.

Sure wel see I suppose

Be interesting to see how this goes. His last 2 head coaching roles have not gone well.

They have someone coming in as well who will work on all the off field stuff plan appears to be to let him coach as much as possible. He is also taking on the defence coach role

Croke Park will hardly charge Leinster full rent if they make the final will they, it would end up a loss making exercise for the IRFU? Coming weeks after the IRFU folding up the men’s 7s team due to costs it would be a bad luck for the GAA - they should offer them the use of Parnell Park for free.

Windsor’s own konor McGregor. He’s watched one too many guy Ritchie films.

Would they not be better off in tullamore where there’d be a real carnival atmosphere?

Rugby is feeling the fallout of the last few years with financial mismanagement, declining investment in the club game and a product that is struggling to evolve. Clubs around the world are feeling the strain and are being propped up by the international game,” Tindall is quoted as saying in the brochure.

“You should make shrude investments like me such as marrying an inbred with a rich daddy”

Portlaoise is the obvious choice. 45 minutes on the train. Handy walk to the station. Have a gawk at the prison where I’m sure a lot of the travelling demographic would be acquainted with some of the inmates through a free legal advice scheme.

After the inevitable pathetic failure of this dismal idea, Mike Tindall will inevitably pop up as a Reform UK candidate for Windsor and Maidenhead at the 2029 UK General Election and be heavily pushed by Richard Tice and Isabel Euphemia Oakeshott.

I’d say Mike Tindall has an IQ of about 74 and in another life he’d have been a British paratrooper who evaded justice for five decades for murdering Catholic civilians on the streets of Derry.

This is outstanding from Thorn-dog.

Shouldn’t be playing games in June, Heineken cup final was weeks ago. It’s a winter sport.

Aviva fatigue is a cracker. He’ll knock at least 6 more articles out of that phrase alone

[peddlerscross]

‘Even I know this is GAA season’

Gerry gets it.

[Diabhal]

That GT parody twitter account from years back that had Gavin Cummiskey as a cartoonish oaf sidekick to Thorndawg’s suave and sophisticated protagonist was so funny. I think it was either deactivated or the one doing the rounds now had all the good stuff deleted.

My own club has been finished playing with 10 weeks

[StoneCold]

You’d imagine the reason rugby has become a 12 month a year sport is because without such a calendar they wouldn’t be able to sustain paying the players
