England's white numbers on their white jersies. Hard enough to make out already, say it will be near impossible on a muddy day. Yet another reason why designers should be kept away from rugby jersies.

+1 I'd imagine that some rule will be brought in if TV companies cop on and complain

You think the numbers near invisibility isn't deliberate?

Like making Ritchie McCaw captain so he never gets yellow carded? Where's Woodward & Bernstein when you need them, wait a sec Woodward? We're through the looking glass here people

Good point. Makes it harder for officials to identify players too. Shouldn't be allowed.

Going down to get the bike out of the garage to head to work and seeing that a slow puncture kicked in over the weekend.

Some little toe-rag leaving a house party down the road last night broke the mirror off my brother's car. My brother's quite ill at the moment and doesn't need that stress. Not the biggest thing in the world, I know, but it makes me angry that scumbag friends of a neighbour will do that kind of petty thing.

Hearing Lar Corbett's name mentioned every half a minute on radio/TV/in the newspaper. I don't have a problem with the guy, he's an awesome hurler, but the hype gets pretty focking tiring. Particularly when I'm a Kilkenny fan. :?

Agree, all those Guinness Hurling ads are dreadful, sycophantic, cringworthy dribble. Milking Cows, while hitting a sliotar up against the gable wall, and talking about some Junior B Hurling match after mass ... 1950s Ireland at its worst.

Thank fcuk its nearly September & the real season is just about to start.
