Nice history

The Original Roman Empire and Continuity Roman Empire together at last

I'm not an accountant but I cant imagine auditors allowing that. Allowing what? Allow them claim a loss that hasn't happened yet. Or put another way evade a tax liability by allowing an expense that they didn't have. That's not what was suggested. What was suggested was the Ulster face a potential ...

https://grimshaw.global/assets/uploads/14108_N2.jpg Are these the guys who won the development deal? Some of their pictures show some roofing on the north and south ends: https://grimshaw.global/projects/sport/royal-dublin-society-anglesea-stand-redevelopment/ Yeah. But don't look at the artists im...

Using the Aviva for big games has hurt the case for guaranteeing tickets for season ticket holders, very few events aren't on public sale for multiple days. Which also means that overseas fans can come to any game they want. I don't really see any point for exhibition games in places like that. It'...

My understanding was that the Angelsea stand would be out of commission for the whole season. Work to start after this year's horse show to be ready for next year's. A home game vs Zebre in front of an empty looking Aviva next season is going to be bad for optics. Will they not still use the RDS wi...

Anyone who knows London better than me have any suggestions as to where to stay near the stadium? Stratford/Docklands to the south. Good Rail/DLR links. Or Enfield/Cheshunt/Edmonton/Walthamstow to the North and East. Stations for the Stadium are White Hart Lane and Northumberland Park. The problem ...

You are right but I don't see the point in saying it was originally an 8 week ban reduced to 4 when pretty much every ban gets reduced by half. The only point for me is it highlights the guilty plea. I think that should be recognised. That he did it deliberately? If so it should have been for much ...

The original "Drive to survive" got exactly the same response from F1 fans. The mistake is to think of any of these as summaries of a comp. If you think of the comp as the backdrop to stories about personalities it makes more sense. And in fairness, rugby hasn't been great in showing the p...

You were the one who connected Brownlee and Ngatai. yes Brownlee would be taking his place in the senior squad. Yes exactly. And to make my original point again, I think expecting Brownlee to take the place of a capped all black who has had some huge moments in blue is short sighted and unrealistic...

Is that official and is Ahern badly injured? Yeah, announced by the IRFU. Aherne rehabbing back in Munster. It's bad enough that he needs to sit at least the first round out. I would assume he could rotate back in later on. This is only the training squad don't forget not the 6N's squad so unlikely...

Very divided on this one - Winner will win the cup obviously

46-40 FT, good game. Shame they buried it on the [emoji837] button. yeah, it wasn't easy to find. the MORE TO WATCH link while watching ulster game is how I found it. couldn't see it in their TV GUIDE. finished 43-40. TNT Sports saying 46-40?? So are BBC... Though they rank up there will Ultimate R...

Joe Marler is a total WUM. What did he do? Sent from my LE2123 using Tapatalk Playing his usual mindgames. Though to be fair to him, he flagged Rea's injury in tackle/ruck to the ref immediately. I like him... And to be fair most of his antics are annoying rather than dirty. Which is funny Sent fro...

It's not so much US policy as a US invention in the early 70s - the One China notion is a masterpiece of diplomatic obfuscation. The United States "acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China" - sure ...

O’Neills was the designated pub for the Q-Final in 2022.

Not sure about Saturday.

Away guide is out - it is O'Neills

Planning on heading to this. Any idea where the OLSC will designate before/after the match as a meeting pub/point? I can't seem to be able to access the away guides for any previous fixture on the Leinster Rugby website. They really need to tidy up the back end of the site. Jayziz...we're not there...

Also, congrats to Leinster’s marketing department getting 40k plus into LR for a post Christmas game. Granted that it was freaking impossible to get a ticket with a French telephone. Fortunately a player gave me an invitation. Best possible seat. If you see a big chewing gum bubble in the stands it...
