Ask me about my son, or Rugby, or paranormal, or F1, & I can bore you to death 😊
I don't know, I kinda have mixed feelings 🤔
Doris at 7 instead of 8?
McCarthy is a big call.
I hope Lowe has found form again. & Aki.
Great to see McCloskey starting.
Hope Timoney gets a chance off the bench.
I think Hansen at 15 is a good shout.
& I hope CP is the right starting choice.
Largely as predicted by Thornley but Paddy McCarthy starts: what a season he's having. Hansen at full back will be interesting to see. Hope Timoney and Cian get some decent time off the bench.

I just remembered today that we made Mars bar & apple sandwiches in home economics, many many years ago!

Did anyone else make them, or similar crap, or did our school just hate us? 🤔😂

Ireland fans - do you really think Crowley or Prendergast are enough to be our fly half right now?

I think both have been great when they come on off the bench but I don't think either has been great when starting 😕

After watching Harry Byrne lately I really think he deserves a chance in the 23

This has broken me this morning 💔

For anyone that has watched Two Cents Rugby (if not you should, it's a great channel!) & his wonderful dad Gazza, this is Gazza's farewell message 😥

Ok, so I'm no Mystic Meg 😂
But I do think there were a lot of positives for Wales to take from that game despite the defeat.
And hopefully Jac Morgan's injury isn't as bad as it looked as he's definitely the heartbeat of that team!
Call me crazy (hi crazy 👋), but I think Wales could get a win today... 🫣

Looking back on both the Ireland game & the Ireland A games yesterday, its interesting to see that Japan are only 1 place above Spain in the world rankings, so different were the performances 🤔👀

(Also Spain seem to have made really good progress which is excellent 😊)

Wow
I was sure when the Springboks got that red that France would take the win, especially as they seemed to have the momentum at that time!

Fair play South Africa 👏👏
After watched Ireland play earlier, we're so screwed when we play them in a couple of weeks! 🫣

My 1 experience of rugby in France -
me & my wee sister went to the 07 RWC in Paris.

We spent 8 nights there & still didn't see the Eiffel tower 🫣

We literally drank & watched rugby the whole time!

Ireland got hammered, but we had the best trip ever 😅

Hopefully be a great 80 🤞
I LOVE French rugby, but I think the SA are going to smash this - they're by far the best team in the world.
The French to me, & without injuries are probably 2nd but they're still unpredictable.
Plus all that emotion for Siya.

I actually enjoyed that Ireland A v Spain game - more than that drivel earlier v Japan!

Ireland's line out has been awful, 100% in the A game.
Excellent showing (& 4 tries) from the Ulster lads!
1 week together & they actually played like a team.
& Harry Byrne was superb!
Fun atmosphere too.

Why did Lowry go off there?
My child decided that would be a great minute to come down & be super noisy 🤦😂
November 8, 2025 at 4:47 PM
Aah it's on their YouTube if anyone else is looking for it 🙈
Where's the Ireland A v Spain game on?
I thought it was Rugby Pass but nothings on yet 😕

Ireland 17 - 7 Japan

Ireland, previously number 1 in the world.
V
Japan, who have university players on their team & got hammered 61-7 last week by SA!

I keep seeing the question are Ireland in decline?
I think so...
November 8, 2025 at 1:35 PM
Yessss Timoney 🙌👏
November 8, 2025 at 1:13 PM
Plus it might wake Ireland the hell up!
I know it's not right, but I don't mind if Japan get a try or 2 🫣
Build their confidence a bit after last week's annihilation.

**Reason 675 why I could never be a professional sports person.

Today's it's exactly 1 year since my gorgeous boy has been at school 😞

He was so poorly with his kidney stones & surgeries, but the EA refused home tuition until the last week in June 🤦

Now he's still pretty unwell but also has no suitable school to go to 😥
& Still they offer nothing.

Stewart Moore on loan to Newcastle 😱
Didn't see this one coming!
He was pretty handy for us last season & I assumed we'd use him plenty this season too 🤔👀
