Listening to the 42, 1st time I've heard a pundit with leinster connections say if clongowes/Micheals or rock were in Belfast or limerick those provs would produce more players than they have been

Rugby fans of all shades, tactical question. You're capt. You have a choice of direction of play at KO, there's a strong wind down the field and the forecast says it's going nowhere.
Obvs, forecasts aren't perfect so do you -
Play with the wind 1st half
Play against the wind 1st half
why ur choice

I don't want to watch that again and would need to see it again to see where it went wrong.
1. Castres played really well, mad line speed and dangerous backs running it back.
2. Was the lineout really bad again? Felt like it.
3. Scrum not a factor
4. Jack's tee kicking... what happened?/

watching Clarksons farm with the folks. Don't like the man & had avoided the show due to why it came about but finding something the folks would watch. 10 episodes in, when he buys cattle & the calves break out 4 times in 10 days and he's in the rain getting them is the first time I've related to it

On a train to Manchester.
3 kids just sat at the table across the way from me, probably 18-20 or so, 2 girls and a guy. One of the girls asks "do you mind if we roll up a joint here?"
Who says kids these days aren't polite and respectful!

2nd capts rugby review pod, Shane Horgan... my God... so he waxed lyrical about Sam's passing & kicking and then they moved onto the tackles and called him "a flawed genius" then compared him to Finn Russell referring to his mistake v ARG... it terms of taking the flaws due to the size of the upside
