Ok so I've been doing light reading of regulation 17:discipline - foul play
Especially 17.15
1 It feels like the citing commissioner cited Wessels on probability 17:15.1
put it through to committee
October 23, 2025 at 8:45 PM
Wessels has been banned for 9 games
& Murphy is available to play this weekend
Im surprised by both outcomes
I'm sure the Bulls will appeal given the conversation on field re camera angles
I think Murphys lucky-he swung an arm maybe more forearm than fist made contact but the acts the act

One day AI will learn to understand and spell my name

But today is not that day

That's a hefty Connacht team to face the Bulls
The lions return and all players featuring in the Ireland squad selected
The backline has a good mix of pace and power
a better performance is needed this week but this 23 can put one together to take on a strong bulls team

a rugby, Irish, and philosophy podcast all in one?
you'll only get that on the 2nd row pod
And people might need that reminder about emotions later today
@biffthetick.bsky.social took something from it maybe you will aswell

When your podcast partner wants to get you cancelled...
Coombes = Ross Byrne
What could possibly go wrong????

Leinster deserving of the lead. But the sharks play to a lot less than the sum of their parts

Scarlets deeply impacted by a storm 2 weeks in a row

One change to the named 15 for Connacht Rugbyfrom last week
Sean O'Brien comes in with Hurley-Langton on the bench as Boyle misses out

Cardiff will be tough opposition Connacht will need to be accurate & dominant at the breakdown + wary of the potential attack

No game tomorrow

Will more than likely be played during the November internationals window or six nations

It's #BKTURC RD 2
Connacht Rugby have made changes after last week's win
Prendergast captains from 6
A new front row, 2nd row, & half back pairing with Hawkshaw the other change in the backs
It's a strong 23 with youth experience & power that's going to be exciting

Mullins & Blade really putting everything on the line

Using the touchline to great effectiveness and fighting all the way to make the impact!

One of the big things I talked about in the pod this week was the Connacht defensive effort
Was also a highlight for Lancaster when talking to press
The phase defence was strong but these 2 try saving tackles showed real character!
Here is Bolton's

Sean Naughtons 1st try for Connacht was a well worked set piece move.

Loved the movement to create the player stack that created the options that opened the gap for Ioane

When someone steals your lineout ball so you steal it back

It's that time of year again

Get your team selected for the fantasy #BKTURC rd 1
September 26, 2025 at 2:45 PM
The #BKTURC is back!!!
Connacht with their 1st teamsheet under Stuart Lancaster
A fresh look to the 23!
Paul Boyle Captains from 6
2 academy players in the 23
But still a powerful pack
With that pace we're used to in the backs
A big day in Galway as a new energy flows through the squad!!

France and Berthoumieu have been successful in getting an extra 3 week reduction in the ban

So full reduction now 9 weeks
September 16, 2025 at 5:56 PM
This reading of the Berthoumieu suspension is all kinds of frustrating
Here's the world rugby reasons for it all
The whole thing feels like a dereliction of responsibility on the pitch
The second a player says I've been bitten calm heads need to slow everything down stop play & start a comms process
September 16, 2025 at 8:02 AM
Doesn't get bigger than world cup KO rugby
The trio of Aoibheann Reilly, Beibhinn Parsons, & Anna McGann represent Connacht on the biggest stage
In what will be a huge game for the Irish squad
