Fair comment or not? Whether intentionally or not WR have made it so that only those countries with big player pools (SA, NZ, ENG & FRA) can realistically compete on all fronts ie 6N/RC, Nations Cup and RWC. Basically a vicious circle that favours the really big boys 🤷🏻♂️ #rugby

Much better in that second half and a cracking goal from Szobo to put us in the lead but credit to City for turning it around. Didn’t deserve to lose that but that’s football 🤷🏻♂️. #LIVvMCI

Mostly City during that first half we’re lucky not have conceded there. Stating the obvious but big improvement needed second half. Hopefully the Kop can suck a couple of goals in 🤞🏻 #LIVvMCI

I regret to inform you that the campaign against red cards continues apace.
This puts all the weight on interpreting intent, so it'll never be called unless it is painfully obvious.

The message that must be the clarion call to mitigate climate change Earth will survive us and other species will flourish as a result just as we did To suggest otherwise is simply hubris The sooner we realise that the greater the chances we don’t disappear as a species @peterfrankopan.bsky.social 🎯

It didn’t start that way and that’s credit to Newcastle but after that what a great performance from Liverpool.. at last! Konaté getting a goal after losing his dad was class. Wirtz and Ekitike 🤌🏻 #LIVvNEW

It appears the ‘play shit yet still win with a Bonus Point’ Leinster bus keeps on rolling…and long may it do so ☺️. Seriously though up to second after our start to the season is nothing short of exceptional. Just imagine what will happen when we click 😉 #LEIvEDI

The solution to Liverpool’s woes in the Premier League is as simple as it is obvious…just make sure they wear their Champions League shoulder flashes every single match. Problem solved ☺️. #LFC #lfc

That was another hard watch from a Leinster perspective but somehow we get a BPW on the road in a ferocious interpro Fair play to Connacht they really took us to the wire I wish them all the very best under Stuart’s leadership #CONvLEI

Liverpool are really hard work this season FFS! Give away two goals through defensive errors, claw their way back to 2-2 and concede another sloppy goal with the final play. All this after they won 3-0 at Marseille in mid week. Talk about Jekyll & Hyde #BOUvLIV

Really feel for Bayonne they deserved way more from that match. Could have been so different if they’d beaten Stormers early doors. It was like 15 honey badgers at times today. Aúpa Baiona! #BAYvLEI

Confortable enough score line in the end with some brilliant goals but it doesn’t do justice to a very plucky @barnsleyfc.bsky.social Obviously pleased to go through but we made heavy work of that. Anyway #YNWA #LIVvBAR #FACup #LFC

There's a smattering of new folks recently, so just a reminder that I've a few rugby starter packs which you might find useful.
Also, if you're not on them and think you should be, let me know!

What I still fail to understand is how Harry Byrne got his right peg around his mahoosive testicles to hit the ball so cleanly and sweetly 🤔 Surely someone has to write a scientific research paper on it. #LEIvLAR
