I'd say cheapest tickets will be €35 with anything reasonable around €50. It the pricing is anywhere near as cheap it'll be v surprising. EPCR have no clue, on how to get the crowds in balanced with making a reasonable amount. I'd love to know what the GAA are charging EPCR. Sent from my SM-G990B u...

Could have been so different if Ben Whitehouse was competent - not good but just competent.

Italy deserved that.

Not lucky but well deserved

In the second half Scotland are kicking too much.

Same as game against France - they are panicking.

And we think we have problems....

Was thinking of ordering a few NHL bits but after reading that I will save my cash.

great point made by Tim on the eggchasers rugby podcast and that is "a back-to-back grandslam, if it happens, is a PROPER extra special achievement, because it means you have beaten all the teams home and away over the ten games" They should have a name for it and a silly trophy. It shoul...

Regarding the houses in Havelock Square.

I had heard years ago the IRFU were buying any of them when they came to market.

Told at the weekend that the IRFU have members of the 7s squads living in them at the moment.

So it's obviously being looked at.

All these players leaving.

Does this mean the Premiership Clubs have learnt their lesson and are cutting their cloth to their measure?

If so it only took 3 clubs to go bust to show them the error of their ways.

Also the French had a water carrier on the pitch. Surely not allowed during play.

Snyman could be the perfect mentor next season for Spicer, as the South African could possibly show the young fella how to get the best out of such a large body. I have been thinking the same. Funnily enough yesterday I was talking to a heavyweight boxer who is 6"8'. He said he changed coach b...

The Club/School socks look great.

Deal of the day: Welsh Rugby: What Went Wrong? https://amzn.eu/d/btCFh6W

16500 tickets sold for this game already. Our attendances this year have been brilliant. Yeah really good. I wonder is it some of those who managed to attend the RWC looking to sustain their fandom? Yeah, you’d wonder indeed. Great to see that relationship, if it’s the case. But there are some here...

Here's a question for the purists/traditionalists out there. On Saturday Scotland, at home, wore their home kit. What went on there? Has it not always been the case of the home side wearing their away kit when their home kit clashes or matches with the oppositions home kit. In other words Scotland ...

What about Vertigo by U2?

More Kids singing Irelands Call please.

Best rendition I can remember.

Fair play to that young man - I hope you and your family enjoy your big day out.

31 hours by Ferry - 2 nights at sea so sleep makes up a lot of time - to Santander and 90 minutes by public transport to Bilbao.

4 week ban for Langdon. Could and possibly should have been longer. It was longer - 8 Weeks - halved for previous good behaviour and guilty plea. Now how much of a reduction there should be is a different discussion. You are right but I don't see the point in saying it was originally an 8 week ban ...
