The test match being on in the morning our time works really well for The Breakfast of Champignon puns too. Shame he doesn’t have a twin.

Completely agree. The IRFU should own one club team and one club team only. There should not even be any other teams in Ireland to be honest.

Piss off, Steve. If your rooting for Leinster is as successful as your rooting for Munster then we’re fucked and Ed wins.

Munster literally told a World Cup winning lock that they didn’t want to keep him less than a year ago.

I’ve written to Parkyscarlets twice asking them for their wine list and they are yet to respond.

I think Leinster’s bench will probably be too strong for the holocaust in the second half to be honest.

Given the WRU are taking on the job of turning them into a powerhouse it’s the lack of future I’d be more worried about than any history.

Well, he barely played at the weekend so, yes, they would have driven him down the road to Bristol for a run out. I'd expect that game to count against any ban imposed later. And rightly so.

I think he was very clearly going to play against Cardiff. Firstly as part of the 'rotation' he was not going to start against France.
And, secondly, as the backline defence leader he would have been expected to use the recent experience of playing against a Sherratt attack.

Wait until you find out that they had the opportunity to do additional training sessions last week but just sent the players home for a couple of days instead.

I didn’t even realise he was a Kiwi. Very smart of them to recruit a lad with a Scottish name.
Or did he change it? That would be smart too.

Wait, it’s getting better. My investment in Welsh Rugby is now up 23.2% in two days.
At this rate of return I will have €1.43 BILLION in just six months.
