After prayers.

5pm I heard, so as to allow time to see if Farrell is fit to go.

Baird has been really impressive in the last couple of games in the row. Farrell picked him as a back-rower for the New Zealand tour [although he ended up playing in the row] and Leinster have looked to use him primarily as a blindside this season, so it is ironic that the opportunities are opening...

Really liked Slow Horses (Apple TV)

A classic care of survivor bias in research. The conclusions are an artefact of biased data collection procedure.

The conclusions are profitable

Who'da thunk it!!

I hear ya - but fret not. After VoiVod's excellent release earlier in the year, Megadeth are releasing a new record in September (a couple of tracks already available). Nice

It's the announcement, not the individual, that's my main beef.

I only commented in order to deliver a burn of sun-surface proportions. In future I'll stick to zingers.

The lads tasked with coming up with the now standard guff about the new jersey must have been moved to producing this presser. "Shane has extensive experience in successfully leading diverse cross functional senior teams across operations, sales, marketing, public relations and legal. His exper...

I know old school. Not my fault if some on here don't like a difference of opinion. I merely stated I voted for brexit and am glad I did. Seems like it's a witch hunt on this site at times and I've noticed it for a while now. I'd rather just talk about rugby in fairness. At least we are all shoutin...

He didn't get it done, it isn't and it never will be done (and the odious creep isn't even out the door...yet).

Amongst the dribbling bullshit posted by Carlowman about brexit there is a truth that English people are unlikely to have wanted to leave to cause harm to Ireland. They simply didn't (and don't) give a f%~k about Ireland; we never crossed their mind in all the jingoistic flag shagging that went on....

Bit petty from sexton after the final whistle that he walks off in a strop. I get he's pissed off but the way he acts when he doesn't get his way is cringy to watch. Take the loss. Shake hands and move on. We were second best all night tonight..Well done bulls. Superb performance from them. The f%~...
