Mainly shouting to myself. Mostly fanboying about Aoife Wafer.
Left wing AF about literally any topic you can think of.

Some player. Hoping he gets through this unscathed and can enjoy his well earned post scrummaging career

Seeing a lot of people saying he wouldn't make the team anyway, forgetting just how much Bundee steps up in the green of Ireland.
For me, it's a big loss and a massive shame. Huge opportunity for Jude though, so hopefully serves us well in depth at much needed position.

Bundee Aki is set to miss Ireland's clash with France.
He's not with the squad at their training camp in Portugal:

OTB did one of those grip strength tests with the Nations captains, and Dupont was absolutely miles ahead of the others 🤯

Any names people will be looking out for in the Irish squad announcement tomorrow? Wouldn't mind a bit of a shake up ☘️
Mine are:
JJ Kenny, Tommy O'B 🔵
Edogbo, maybe Gleeson & Quinn in training squad 🔴
Postlethwaite, Hume, the Wards ⚪

Hard to know what to take from these type of games, but good to see some of the big names flexing their muscles. Plus always love a Linda long range run in 💪

Bristol really threw that one away. UBB not fully clicking but serious star power in that team. I'm fully invested in Depoortère stock right now #BRSvUBB

Look. We've had to dig deep for some wins lately, but we're coming out on the right side of tight ones. A lot can be said for that. Just need things to click come knockout time.

End result and breakdancing gifs aside, I'm not sure how great it paints NZ rugby to sack the coach the day after a report of a high profile player not liking him. Feels very football like.

If watching Munster frustrates even me at times, I can only imagine what it's doing to those down the M7 #RCTvMUN
It's basically two teams aiming guns at their own feet and seeing what hits. Fierce entertaining though

It doesn't get a huge amount of hype, but a reminder to women's rugby fans that they upload highlights of the Celtic Challenge to their YouTube channel. 8 tries from the Wolfhounds with some big names on the scoreboard plus a fairly tasty Dannah crossfielder

We've played them yearly for like a decade now and still haven't learned that La Rochelle like to get their mitts on the ball. Just get rid of it when we're in our 22. It's not worth the gamble #LEIvLAR

Not to be harsh on Joey as I loved him pre injuries. But I think it would be a pretty terrible move from either Leinster or Ulster to bring him in with what he is now.

Battle of the Sharks this weekend in the rugby has me asking why in god's name are Sale called Sharks? Especially given where they are on the map. Follow up questions will be Bear and Chief related...
