Divided

@simonlewis Ya lost me here bud.

Since 2023, only one school reconfigured from Catholic to Educate Together and it made history - it was the first Catholic school to hand over to Educate Together. simonmlewis.substack.com/p/is-there-rea…

@JamesArchieJO Ireland could join too. Maybe we could make it about actual songs in the new competition?

Spain should host an alternative Eurovision for national broadcasters with a moral compass.

@HuwGriffinRugby You’ll be safe enough, he’s not Leinster.

Speaking as an opposition fan Please god Andy Faz don’t pick this guy

@DrChrisParry @mooreholmes24 (Willful) Ignorance is Brits….

It’s a lie of course. Perpetual victimhood.

@citizenOfIre @dailychelsea4 Not many World Cup winners medals knocking around Irish provinces, particularly for Irish internationals now, is there? We wouldn’t be the first Irish winners of the URC wijtout him. He’ll be remembered fondly.

Think this will be Kleyns last season an absolute legend for Munster. Deserves a few years on big wages in france. For Munster a loss but can really sign difference makers in the front row with the money. Leaves Edwin as the only heavy lock which might leave them short.

@jimmy_treacy @CaptSpringbok Jaysus Jimmy, cmon now lad. 🫣

@CaptSpringbok For sure, but nothing lasts forever. Ireland could have beaten you last week with 12/13 players. Don’t forget that . Arrogance is everyone’s downfall

The Springboks shattered a proverbial glass ceiling on Saturday evening. Something happened that felt like a rugby earthquake - a seismic shift in how this team is viewed. Our scrum, and Rassie’s ruthless clarity in player management, told the story. We had no business pushing for repeated scrums and earning 13 scrum penalties - yet we did, turning down points simply to prove how utterly dominant this team is. The Boks are operating in a different stratosphere to every other side right now. And for the first time, every rugby journalist and pundit agrees: the Springboks are, beyond doubt, the best team in the world.

@kilianjcarroll @jaredwright17 I listened to the entire pod, and in typical fashion, the answers (for them) are products of the big private schools.

@Divided321 @jaredwright17 Who are you talking about? Did you even watch the clip?

Dublin media mafia refuses to look at the issue of Ireland's shortcomings. Blame the ref, not Ireland's shortcomings.

@slatterywill @lukefitz11 @CianTracey1 Is it timw to give talent from other provinces a fair go?

Recording this evening with @lukefitz11 & @CianTracey1 to break down all things Ireland 13 South Africa 24 Anything you would like to hear discussed on the show?

@GridOjaka @jaredwright17 @IrishRugby Please don’t conflate the Leinster Irish rugby media circle jerk with the game in the other provinces. Thanks.

@jaredwright17 The Irish need to grow up,are they questioning JN commitment to his job or are they just bitter after losing to SA? - Let Leinster & Ireland recruit an all-Irish coaching staff then we see how far they'll go. These guys are coming across as sore losers @IrishRugby

The Jacques Nienaber smear campaign has officially began. Let's not point figures at Andy Farrell or Leinster to defeat. No, it's all 007 JN.

@AindriuR_1 @Caolan_Scully By “bankroll” do you mean the IRFU, ie all FOUR provinces, paying the largest wage bill of any club on the planet?

@Caolan_Scully Another reason to spread team from all four provinces. Leinster should tell IRFU they’ll no longer bankroll Irish team to the detriment of their own club goals.

Ryan Baird and Jamie Osborne now major doubts for the Six Nations as Leinster confirmed today that they’ll be out for up to 3 and 4 months respectively

@AindriuR_1 @Caolan_Scully “Bankroll” 🤦🏼‍♂️jeezus wept…

@rugby_ap Unless you have a head coach who’s only interested in/ is capable of coaching a cohesive game plan by using Leinster+ 2 or 3 friends.

Going forward though I don’t see how you don’t pick Crowley to start every match. He’s just clear at this stage. All round game is better.

Personally think Crowley is a better player but I also understand why Ireland started Prendergast against S.A. His biggest asset is his passing game and he was flighting balls out wide that beat the blitz a few times early in the game.

@Richie_Allen Club affiliations?

Rassie's chuffed. Why the likes of Felix Jones, Jerry Flannery, Noel McNamara, Donnacha Ryan & Ronan O'Gara are coaching abroad is beyond me. Irish rugby is suffering by having some of it's brightest minds only help foreign clubs/countries. Not talked about enough. #IREvSA

@Murray_Kinsella “I’m delighted Farrell has no interest in doing anything but tweaking the Leinster system, Jacques has me well filled in”.

Rassie Erasmus in good form today. Full of praise for Sam Prendergast. "He's got guts. People are talking about his tackling, that there's maybe a weakness there, but I've seen him go really hard and he's a big boy, and he looks pretty fit." More here: the42.ie/6881045t

@Iconic_gaa @Murray_Kinsella “Sublime”

@Murray_Kinsella Everyone is talking about the sublime Sam Prendergast. This game will be won and lost up front. Our line out has to perform. We have to hold our own scrums. If we can do that, there will be space for the pretty wingers and centres to do damage.

@whatarucker @Caolan_Scully 💯

@Caolan_Scully ‘We’ve alienated 3 provinces, never play a game outside of Dublin, super charge Leinster paying 75% of their wages, have a head coach who is more concerned about his book launch than the Irish team, Irish rugby media who are his puppets, and we don’t know why we’re losing money’

The IRFU finances update is worrying, but then again, so is the current financial situation across the game Decreasing TV revenue, inflated player wages, ticket prices and general the cost of living are all major factors at play Prudence and safety are needed

@Murray_Kinsella Sualii will be pissin himself.

Paddy McCarthy gets his first start for Ireland. Sam Prendergast in at 10. Mack Hansen back from injury, first Test start at fullback. Caelan Doris moves to openside. Stuart McCloskey back at 12. Cian Prendergast and Nick Timoney on the bench.

@malkiedmagran @Kanantaba101 @Inverted_Fool Who told you that?

@Kanantaba101 @Inverted_Fool The British army went to Ireland in defence of our UK citizens of NI who were being murdered by the IRA, fucked around and found out, your own fukin fault. Should have done more
