Defo the exact opposite for me. Expanse not bad but gave up somewhere in season 3. Altered carbon I loved.
Have the boys downloaded for the holiday. Future ex son in law says it's great

Stupid Amazon prime! All the content I downloaded in the app is coming up as expired and 2/3/4G coverage is only good enough for email. Not streaming.heno wrote: ↑September 12th, 2020, 8:58 am I literally had card in hand, willing to pay for an episode of a series I missed, but they declined because it was an irish card.
So I went and got it from somewhere else (That may or may not have been free and or legal).

Keenan had an even better one.
Dunno about Stockdale after today's performance against Toulouse.neiliog93 wrote: ↑September 20th, 2020, 6:50 pm We might be looking at the following back three for the remaining Six Nations games:
11.Stockdale 14.Conway

23.Larmour
Also with Lowe to get a debut against Wales or Georgia when he qualifies in November, and Larmour to start one of those games on the wing. If Dave Kearney is back from injury, he might also get a look-in based on pre-lockdown form.
Larmour is getting a chance to grow into 15. It’s a reason that Kearney fell so fast in the pecking order after the RWC. In the short term I wouldn’t be too concerned that he will get dropped.Oldschool wrote: ↑September 20th, 2020, 7:13 pmDunno about Stockdale after today's performance against Toulouse.neiliog93 wrote: ↑September 20th, 2020, 6:50 pm We might be looking at the following back three for the remaining Six Nations games:

I forgot Peter Dooley who is a genuine contender for international honours among the U.30s in Ireland. He has the frame, the specific skills and the all-round ability to play No 1 in the mould of our much-underated S.A. loose-head Van de Merve.Ruckedtobits wrote: ↑September 22nd, 2020, 8:08 pm Selecting a Squad is one thing. Selecting a match 23 is entirely different in the current circumstances where Provinces have been on separate pathways for almost 6 weeks (by the time a National Squad gathers).
A case could be made that the games till the 6 Nations should be treated as a series of developmental games, targeted at seeing whether some players have the skill and physiques for this level. Without spectators there's no need to work "to attract fans" so Farrell et al can afford to delve into some newer areas.
Based on a reasonable assessment of current form, I wouldn't have any problem with a Squad match-off excluding over 30's something like this:
15. Shane Daly / Hugo Keenan
14. Andrew Conway / Jacob Stockdale
13. Garry Ringrose / James Hume
12. Robbie Henshaw / Chris Farrell
11. James Lowe / Jordan Larmour
10. Ross Byrne / Jack Carty
9. Caolin Blade / JGP
8. Jack Conan / Tadgh Beirne
7. JVdF / Will Connors
6. Caelan Doris / Dan Leavy
5. Iain Henderson / Quinn Roux
4. James Ryan / Ultan Dillane
3. Tadgh Furlong / Finlay Bealham
2. Robbie Kelleher / Dave Heffernan
1. Eric O'Sullivan / Ed Byrne
Loose head would be my sole area of concern in that group about adequate cover at international level. There's plenty of time now for experimentation and exclusion of guys like J10, Earls, Murray, Healy, McGrath (Jack), Herring, PO'M & Stander.
It will be a miracle if any of them are around for RWC23 and, other than the No 1 shirt mentioned above, the contenders listed should be able to handle anything Italy, Fiji or Wales put against us. France & England are in a different category, physically, but our younger guys have to evolve their experience and tactics of how to take on teams we can't expect to match physically.
So, essentially the suggestion is to give our over 30's a 4- month sabbatical. They may not want it, but I believe that it would be very beneficial for Ireland for seasons from 2021-22 onwards.

No James Lowe. Some slots will be development players i think. Casey being one.
