There is something counterintuitively pleasing about the number of truly terrible haircuts in this Ireland team. As a man "of a certain age", nostalgia is a hell of a drug & there's great comfort in the knowledge that what's old is new again 😁 #IRLvAUS

40 mins in & it's a game of two halves, Des.
The offensive half 👍🏼
The defensive half 👎🏼
Some really good stuff going forward & also putting pressure on the Aussie backfield with the kick chase but some really stupid stuff defending our own line & the breakdown is a mess

Stephen Ferris' continued media career mirrors the latter injury-ravaged years of his central contract with the IRFU: you're hoping he'll get better but you know in your heart of hearts that's never going to happen

We *really* need to make sure no South Africans get red carded in Dublin next weekend. All it seems to do is remove some lummox & give the fancy boys extra space to play in... 😬

I've a lad from work who has tickets for tonight but can't make it and he's looking for a home for them, 100 quid for the pair. BLK515 Row F if anyone interested ?

#TheWitcher was never high art but it was entertaining at least, which makes it so irritating that season 4 is so poor. Lacks coherent storytelling, too many fragmented plots & also looks like the budget was completely slashed to the bone as well.
And then there's the elephant in the room...

"Inside every man there are two wolves" as the old Cherokee saying goes
Inside Sam Prendergast there are four wolves, inside whom there are two wolves each, and they all seem to be making different decisions at the same time & howling them into his brain in unison... 😖

I guess it's not entirely reasonable to expect the crowd to show up when Ireland haven't... 😬 #IREvJAP
I'm sure there are still folks trying to get to the stadium given the ridiculously early kickoff time, but that's one scabby-looking crowd at the Aviva... 😬 #IREvJAP

"So this protest, you're going to halt all work?"
"Nope"
"So you're just going to switch off an app most Irish people don't use anyway & go back to the price gouging that's made you ferociously unpopular with the populous & given rise to Uber's fixed price promise in the first place?"
"Yep"
