Bulls don’t want to win this and Glasgow can’t win this by the look of things going on here 🤷🏻‍♂️ #GLAvBUL

Still think that Leinster will be too strong for the Stormers today….
A strange week at Leinster raises questions about how next season might look: the42.ie/7061693t

You just have to shake your head at the total lack of awareness from the Bulls here…. One man down in the backs and they keep 8 men in the scrum 🤦🏻 #GLAvBUL

Now James Lowe saying he’s not valued by Irish Rugby after 50 caps and no contract on the cards…. Sure, he’s 33 years old but who do they have that’s considerably better or has more experience?

🧵 Ahead of the Soccer World Cup next week, here's some football World Cup teams if they were rugby World Cup teams... England football = Ireland rugby. One has lost seven quarter-finals, the other has lost eight…

I love the Irish and the Irish rugby community but perhaps time to realise that there is a Massive amount of BMT missing in both Leinster and national team. A bit like the South African cricket team

I see that most countries are playing warm-up games before the Fifa World Cup but not South Africa…. Anyone know the reason(s) why…? #FIFAFever

You don’t understand how fed up we are of Cullen. Unfortunately for some reason the Irish media keep highlighting Nienaber.

Just my 2c on this whole Jacques Nienaber issue. His record as a coach is better than anyone involved in Ireland rugby: * Europe - 2 finals and one semi final * URC - 1 semi and one final. And the weekend in a semi again.

Just to put it into perspective @RuaidhriOC did claim a conspiracy between @RassieRugby and @jacnienaber and claimed they were taking the IRFU for a ride. Which is fine for pub talk, but when you are supposed to be a "journalist" with "ethical standards" it becomes murky.
'People don't value me here' Jacques Nienaber came to yesterday's press briefing at Leinster with plenty to get off his chest as he floated the idea he could leave at the end of the season and argued his case against some of my criticism in particular Below is the exchange 🔽

No wonder the Irish have won absolute zilch and never been past the quarter-finals of the World Cup. You guys have total delusions of grandeur. This whole victim mentality is getting a bit tiresome. Dunning-Kruger effect poster boys

A farmer dies in April 2026. His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847. The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle. On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify. In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable. The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft. The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let. A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up. The Treasury collects £140,000. The land never produces British food again.

This is a super-read @praddenkeefe - perfect for anyone looking for something to read in the summer holidays. So well written and deeply interesting 👏🏼

Attacking team should get a 5m scrum for charge-down of a clearance kick that goes dead surely? I vaguely remember it being the case many years ago… Did it change? #LEIvNOR
