Happy Ulsterman tonight. We were outstanding but Toulouse were poor at the same time.

Had a great meal in two fat ladies. Thanks everyone

Blythswood one PP

Thanks everyone. I’ve booked Two Fat Ladies

How special?

More Brian Maule than Nandos thanks!

Poison by The Prodigy

Merkur are awful. Feathers are great for 1 shave only. Astra for daily use

I’ve a 1.6 golf and 2.0 passat. No way would I have the 1.6 in the passat

Get a removal company in. So much less hassle for about the same money Ime

Vanilla is the bosses favourite……great

Coldplay
Keane

😀

Cracking Pro12 game at Munster on at the moment 9 tries so far!

Anyone watching Ulster Cardiff. Turnbull very lucky to escape with a yellow. Booted Marshall on the head ‘stepping’ over a ruck

Tee hee.

Interesting article regarding protective eye wear in rugby. Think the IRFU are wrong on this one. Fair play to the lad for being able to play professional rugby

It won’t be POC. His international career is over. He is officially out of RWC. Thanks for everything big man.

Just seen that DD. Terrible news, he was great yesterday. Hendo to 6 and Ryan to 5? or Murphy to 6?

I can’t recall anything in the past from SOB. Pape was holding him sure, 1 game?

Didn’t realise Payne is out of RWC. I’d say POC is judging by Joe’s comments.

Sack of Shite, that was one for Jamie’s back 😀

Great performance and as I said if we win up front we win the game. Margin would have been more if Keet could catch.

That’s scoreboard and tries AA

I’d agree with that AA. The performance is in them, they just need to find it. The forwards in particular need to step up a lot.

It has been reported Joe thinks his impact off the bench in the last 30 mins will be more fruitful as gaps begin to appear. I suppose we will see. I’m feeling quite confident this morning. Although this could be footy euphoria and too much beer last night, hic 😀

Irish press reporting Healy, Toner and Payne to start against France. Tough on Iain Henderson, Mc Grath and Earls as they have all been in good form.

POSSIBLE IRELAND XV: Rob Kearney; Tommy Bowe, Jared Payne, Robbie Henshaw, Dave Kearney; Johnny Sexton, Conor Murray; Cian Healy, Rory Best, Mike Ross; Devin Toner, Paul O’Connell; Peter O’Mahony, Seán O’Brien, Jamies Heaslip. Replacements: Jack McGrath, Seán Cronin, Nathan White, Iain Henderson, Chris Henry, Eoin Reddan, Ian madigan, Simon Zebo.

Could be a big party this weekend in Ireland if we win and the ROI join NI at the Euros

Why’s that DD, are Tonga gonna beat NZ 😀

NZ Herald seemed to take exception to D’Arcy’s article about Burgess

Beep beep beep Welsh scrum reversing

Gordon Darcy makes an interesting analysis of the Eng centre options. He really isn’t a fan of Burgess

My daughter is almost 18 months as well and the past 2 weeks her appetite has gone through the roof. It got very serious on Saturday morning when she tried to pinch my bacon bap. A bag of M and m’s and a full fat coke sorted it though 😀

I think that would show up the Guinness stains badly! With my athletic figure I’m not a fan of these football type tops, still in my 2001 number.

Anyway, really pleased with the display from the 2nd XV today. Zebo was the stand out performer for me. I thought every part of his game was excellent. It looks like Healy is still far from starting against the better teams. I’d stick with McGrath.

Who’s playing in the Keet Earls mask?

Really enjoyed that, the team who tried to play rugby came through. If you set up to be negative then you get what you deserve. Australia will hardly be too worried about either of them

Loving this as a neutral

Poor form by the crowd on the kicks, it isn’t football you know

Well done Scotland. Good performance.

That chance could come back and haunt Scotland. I hope not though. Japan are great to watch.

Scotland by 20, Oz by 35 and France by 20.

Earls clearly enjoyed the welcome for the team in Burton on Trent, bloody Munster folk, no manners. 😀

Bodie

McCaw binned, first time I have ever liked a Wayne Barnes decision

d squad for the game? He looked excellent last I saw of him.

Joe quoted in Irish press as saying he knows what Cave can do and he will play against Romania
