Eh, yeah. The mind boggles

Who be NAMAWinelake ? An anonymous blog(remember those?) that sprang up post Celtic tiger to cover all stories related to NAMA and highlight it's "skullduggery". Generally doomcasted about it's prospects etc until he got called out by a developer and had to shut down. Blog is still there ...

It's pride month ffs. They chose to do it now because it's pride month and it might help someone like him in that situation. I hope anyone in the closet of any age who see's the reaction see's how positive the reaction is and that they can have that too. It's an unambiguosly good thing and if you f...

The comments around Nick are definitely not virtue signalling. It may be reasonably normalised to have your sexuality widely known in every day life, it’s anything but in the world of male professional sport. You really don’t have to look too far back to see examples in other sports of how people w...

I’m confused by the whole “virtue signalling” thing.

The man’s been through a rough time of it, he’s been supported by his teammates and club.

What do you mean by “virtue signalling in the comments”?

I suppose the hope is someday stuff like this won't be.

It shouldn’t have to be, but it is.

A talent that should not be overlooked

It's probably just a mistake, but it makes me wonder is it possible to get a share of a try - if two players touch it down at the same time.

That’s a sure sign you’ve too much time on your hands…

Im gonna guess he’ll wear his old school socks, whatever colour they happen to be

Joe Joyce (born 7 February 1994) is an English-born, Irish-qualified rugby union player. He plays lock for English Premiership Rugby side Bristol Bears. He is lovingly known as "The King of the Mead" by fans after a commentator coined the phrase. He has played over 100 games for Bristol a...

I think we should acknowledge Nick McCarthy coming out because it's obviously a big deal for him and I'm sure he'll be acutely aware of the reaction to it so it'd be good to show him some support. Huge respect to him for doing it and it's great to hear that he feels happier in himself now :happy cl...

A.K.A. Nobody

Move mountains to move a player who might not be first choice for Munster (!) or make the RWC squad and who isn't worth bigging up? Well it's other people's money. Bealham is a decent international tighthead, O'Toole is probably a decent international tighthead. Healy is serviceable and could doubl...

Pretty certain he is eligible for Ireland. He discussed potentially playing for Ireland in an interview with RTE and refers to Ireland as “home”. Also, his contract appears to be up this summer and he doesn’t look like he’s getting his anew Zealand chance right now, so could be Munster bound after ...

So I’ve not actually heard whetherJäger is IQ, ive just assumed he is, but could he be in the same situation as that Russian winger (Artimev?)

Indeed…

Olí Jager very solid as part of a dominant Crusaders front five in the Super Rugby final. He’s a 128kg tight head with good hands who’s a strong scrummager. Nucifora and Easterby need to get him back here fast. Big Mile is a nice rugby player but vulnerable in the tight so I really think Olí could ...

I’d just be happy with Roos losing because he’s a pr!*k, could be hormonal?

Enjoy the win TB,
