If you didn’t see the game, watch the genuinely insane leaps of common sense, physics and duty of care that all four officials are fully in agreement in making to class a dynamic, avoidable shoulder direct to the head as a rugby incident.
Angus O’Brien is all of us here. It’s genuinely shameful.

Momentum is the trouble now. Lost 3 in row to NZ, humiliation v France at home last 6N. If the 'boks do something similar, his whole philosophy of win-now, future-takes-care-of-itself looks shaky, especially with that age profile and his selections so at odds with what the IRFU want..

You don't even have to have a ruck in the 22. A player can line break from outside the 22 and carry directly to score a try and it counts as an entry.

Perfectly captures what it's like to be a non-Leinster Ireland fan in an environment where 90% of the media coverage is fawning admiration and hero worship.

All practical and reasonable. But none of it makes very many people interested in supporting it. It's not supposed to be a corporate endeavour. Without a certain romantic component, it's dead.

It's the "Cian Healy" model. Got the Ireland caps record - 6 minutes per.

Proof, if it were needed, that the "just get behind the team/be positive" stuff is more of a gimmick than a philosophy

Welcome to what it's like to be an Ireland fan. A subservient media group of cheerleaders who's basis for all analysis is "Farrell can't be wrong". Then, when there is a loss, it's treated like an elderly uncle died. It's a shame, but nothing can be done.

You wouldn't know the title sponsor. They go to a different school. Two towns over.

Some more data - I think from Russ Petty. I suspect Farrell is thinking Jac is great as a defensive player, but Aus are going to kick the ball a lot, and Lions keep it more, so he doesn't see it as a strong need

Maybe. Australia wiping out their debt. I'm not sure how much the B&I Unions make, but it's definitely v lucrative, more so than normal tours as individual nations, or the whole thing would be dead already.

I'd don't have those stats, but that could be a factor for sure. I'd have thought Maro/TB and Conan would be enough options though. Use Joe Mc sparingly too.

Goal of the tour is to make cash for the Unions. But, if you don't keep the traditions & respect for trying to have all 4 nations involved, the tour is less compelling, you risk toxicity, less interest & ultimately, money. Win at all costs will kill the concept. There is a balance to be had.
