@Slatzism What a horrible way to talk about a young person’s tragic murder. How can you be so callous?

Incredible development in the case of the UW troon who was stabbed. The killer told prosecutors that he just wanted to murder a woman. That was his motive. So he either thought the troon was a woman, or he actively included “trans women” in his definition of “women.” Not only was this not a transphobic hate crime, it is probably the world’s first gender affirming murder. Transphobia would have saved this guy’s life.

Just had a lovely woman in our shop in Donegal, searching for her lost twin sister. Appreciate it if my Irish followers would retweet this. Thank you.

"No more than a penalty for me." Sam Warburton reacts to the Ireland red card. 📺 @TNTSports & @DiscoveryplusUK

@tindlea @WorldRugby My gripe isn’t really about what they were actually penalised for (aside from the red card), it was about what *wasnt* penalised and was just let go. The forward passes were pretty one sided, the high hit on the Irish jumper (if TB was red, that was red), Barratt’s run into touch

@Lynssssss @WorldRugby It wasn't 1 sided though: NZ equally penalised, especially in first half. You just think its 1 sided cos Ireland lost-if they'd won you wouldn't be complaining about ref. We've all done it - Steward's red against Ireland in 23 was shocking. Most Irish fans thought it ok.

Absolute joke of a game this is. We need a serious review of the standard of officiating @WorldRugby cause the sport is dying in front of our eyes with every utterly pathetic refereeing performance. Forward passes, ungrounded tries, delayed marks, unjust reds etc etc etc. #IREvNZ

@tindlea @WorldRugby If one or two of the those instances happen per game, yeah fair enough. But when it’s consistent throughout the match and is as one sided as it was tonight, that’s where the frustration lies.

@tindlea @WorldRugby The mark does have to be called for immediately though, not when you’ve travelled 5 paces and realised that you’ve crossed the touch line. At least 5 uncalled forward passes in open play for NZ, I didn’t see Ire being let off for any, not to mention the one that led to the card

@tindlea @WorldRugby Nope, just a frustrated fan who’s used to a higher officiating standard in my grassroots games! You can’t honestly say with a straight face that that was a well officiated game, surely?

@Lynssssss @WorldRugby Sore loser perhaps?

@ZSonkwala @TightFive_Rugby You can’t sink your teeth in if you’re wearing a gum shield, which she was. Just because she wasn’t physically able to break the skin doesn’t mean she didn’t apply one hell of a force to Aoife’s arm.

@TightFive_Rugby A bit too harsh, looked like a nibble to me. The image portrays her to have sunk her teeth into it but far from it.

❌ BREAKING: Axelle Berthoumieu has been banned for 12 matches following her biting incident in France’s quarter-final win over Ireland. The entry point was 18 weeks, reduced by six as she acknowledged foul play and was remorseful. #RWC2025

@IrishRugby Amazing effort from the girls during this World Cup, so unlucky not to get to the semi’s. They’ve absolutely done us proud ☘️☘️☘️

We gave it everything. #WeAreIreland

Do you fancy winning an Ulster Rugby shirt? 😍 Simply guess who the first Ulster try scorer will be for their upcoming match against Munster Rugby! ⬇️ All guesses must be submitted before kick-off on Friday 9th May 🏉

@jimharty @mike_cantillon @conorobrien459 Ulster here, definitely agree.

@mike_cantillon @conorobrien459 No-one wants to "victimise" Prendergast. Everyone wants a young player to thrive Crowley has won URC & 6n aged 23/24 so his development as younger player is equally important I think the echo chamber in Dublin is actually damaging the team.Other provinces likely agree?

Despite calls from pretty much every corner now for Crowley to start in Rome, the quotes and tone of this suggest to me Prendergast is going to start again 🤷‍♂️ It's one of the most bizarre situations I can remember covering Ireland. What must Crowley be thinking at all...

@adammoursy Where is the evidence of this “very, very high bar”? I feel like I’m going insane seeing everyone saying this, with absolutely no evidence of it at international level. Can I say I have a “very, very high bar” but just choose not to show it week in week out and get away with it?

Prendergast is clearly a very good player with a very, very high bar - but he's getting away with murder with these missed kicks and tackles I seriously doubt Crowley would get the same rope from the media #IREvFRA

@Ltm67 @BriainOSuill @IrishRugby @SixNationsRugby How on earth based on what we’ve seen of him are Prendergast’s performances good enough for the 10 jersey?! All this shite about it being bitter Munster fans who are questioning his selection is bullshit, every fan from every province outside of Leinster are screaming it.

@BriainOSuill @IrishRugby @SixNationsRugby So who plays 10 if not Prendergast? Why, it’s you boi Crowley! Oh, look how that would work out! Even Ronan O’Gara said Crowley’s performances pre 6N were not enough to take the 10 jersey, Prendergast is the incumbent that’s the fact As you said, settle 😉

Can the @IrishRugby put a stop to the Prendergast experiment now. Didn’t work. Good player but a couple of years too early. Have disrespected Crowley in the process but yet continued to push and proceed against all evidence. #IREvFRA @SixNationsRugby

@Goh3000 @neil_rock_ @IrishRugby 100% this.

@neil_rock_ @IrishRugby Anger and resentment built up at other provinces and consistently put down by leinster fan basse and unaddressed from irfu/ coaching staff don't see how you're surprised by the reaction

Not our day. #TeamOfUs

@BholdBhoy @EthanRxllinsRWZ @IrishRugby Yeah…no mate. You’re wrong on this one on pretty much every level. I know it’s a stereotype, but it’s a stereotype for a very valid reason - if he didn’t play for Leinster he’d be nowhere near the Ireland team, never mind in such important matches as this. It’s shocking.

@EthanRxllinsRWZ @IrishRugby Funny how every single coach and every single player and everyone who watches rugby understands how good he is.

@DMWagner6 @ChasePadusniak @pourfairelevide I know two archaeologists who were diagnosed with osteoarthritis in their knees before the age of 30, and from 3 years of digging myself I have serious shoulder and back issues due to repetitive strain. Catch yourself on, sitting down in an office is much easier on the body.

@ChasePadusniak @pourfairelevide There’s no such thing as an end-all-be-all solution to any problem. But I believe the stresses put on the body by being sedentary are worse or comparable to those in the trades. And I say that as a lifelong blue collar worker who works outside daily in the subarctic.

“Is working as a carpenter for 40 years *really* worse for your body than sitting in a chair in an office all day?” Yes, yes it is, obviously it is.

Bus drivers who wait til you’ve sat down before blasting into hyperdrive need to be protected at all costs ❤️

Is there anything with a better joy:price ratio than a £1 bunch of daffodils? Not like 'an Alpine dawn' or 'my child's laughter' I mean stuff you can buy

@dinnydodo @AndyGoode10 Have we all just forgot that Frawley exists or..?

@AndyGoode10 It's more the Munster No 10 jersey Jack has to worry about. As for the Ireland No 10? That ship has sailed for him.

So the IRFU have made Jack Crowley rest tonight for Munster against Leinster where he would be coming up against Sam Pendergast, the man who took the Ireland 10 jersey off him?! Work that one out, it absolutely stinks
