Ask me about my son, or Rugby, or paranormal, or F1, & I can bore you to death 😊
Think Tom Stewart deserves a special mention too!
I think he's been excellent & even with Herring coming on this time, I think you notice a big difference when he comes off.
Do I wish we'd gotten the 4 try BP? Yes
Am I delighted we got the win? Definitely yes
Do I hope that it pays off for Munster keeping their Internationals for Europe? Absolutely yes
Am I ready to riot if Richie doesn't resign Kok? - you better believe it 😂

I don't think we will lose this - the minutes we play brilliantly must be coming up soon... we showed great glimpses at the start!

For Munster they've rested their internationals for Europe.

For us, the win would really solidify what we're building! 🤞🤞

C'MON ULSTER 🙌💪

Let's go Ulster 💪🤞🥶
That's a night for the aul hipflask!
A bit of snow in Belfast!

Great place to start the year of rugby.

Ulster vs. Munster should be fun.

Today, I found out that my child really dislikes me 😞

He made me take him back to IKEA again!!
2nd time in a month 😭😂

Turns out we've no "big" lights in the living room atm because he apparently climbed on the table & swung from the lampshades!
On 2 separate tables 🫣🤦😂😂

Bring on the rugby & wine!

Remember I said that Santa was doing special visits in the area for autistic kids?
I think it was a success 😁
Still not sure he believes/ever believed but the fact Santa was in his house blew him away 🥰
Also he's going up in height, I'm going down in height & we're currently the same 🫣😂

It wasn't pretty, it wasn't even impressive for many parts of it, but a win is a win especially after our last 2 losses!
& another 4 try bonus point!

Wasn't loving the dramatics though.

Why Lancaster didn't start Ioane I don't know 🙈

As someone who went "no contact" with my mum for 11 years this is so true!
And no matter what people might tell you (usually the parent) there's always a reason.
Always.
Just because someone is blood doesn't mean you have to tolerate bullshit ❤️
It's very telling that this discourse always puts the onus on the kids to tolerate their parents vile views and never asks the parents to moderate said views for the sake of their kids

Wow - Ma'a Nonu starting for Toulon v UBB at 43!!

Also wow - LBB scored a try faster than I typed those few words 🙈😂

Tomorrow Santa is coming to our house! It's a community thing for autistic kids ❤️

Luke is 13, not sure if he's ever really believed but he's so excited that Santa is coming here!

Yesterday we made cookies for Santa.
While I was upstairs Luke attempted to make his own cookies 🫣😂🤣

Same guy, same "baby daddy" reply to a different comment of mine on a different rugby page 🙄😂

WOW Dragons win 48-28!!
& that scoreline flatters Connacht.

Im delighted for Dragons, with everything going on in the WRU, the players & their fans deserve that win 👏
& the celebrations 😂🍾🍺

I can't even hold Rio's "god" speech against them 😊
December 20, 2025 at 9:42 PM
Dear Connacht, thank you for making sure that our loss to Leinster will only be an afterthought for the next few days.

Ps delighted for Dragons!!
(If they blow this 41 point lead though then they deserve to go 🫣)

Between complaining about refs yesterday & then this today, Lowe's asking to be targeted 🤣

'I hate Ulster' - James Lowe happy to up the ante around Leinster's Aviva derby
LEINSTER wing James Lowe knows Ulster do not like him. And — barring a few exceptions like Stuart McCloskey, Nathan Doak and Tom O’Toole — he would not have it any other way. Ahead of tomorrow nigh…

I had to go to IKEA today...

How the hell do people go there through choice or enjoyment??

Both my body (I had to walk 50 miles to find the exit!!) & my soul are deeply traumatised 🙈

Bernard Jackman saying Saracens are interested in signing Richie when his contract ends with Ulster in the summer 🤔👀

FINALLY found a re-run of the Glasgow v Toulouse game to watch!
(I stupidly watched the Ulster game on Saturday instead, with Welsh commentary 🤦😂)
December 16, 2025 at 3:44 PM
I'm actually pissed at that!
There was no need for us to lose that game 🤦
I actually don't put it down to the players, I put it down to Richie's team choices.

🖕keeping our best team for the interpros

Congratulations to Cardiff 👏👏
