@garrethmcdaid @PatBradyvi @MiguelDelaney So you can express your opinion here (as you do) and he can't? Are you for real?

@PatBradyvi @MiguelDelaney Actually, journalists are supposed to suppress their opinions and report facts.

A half-time show is an anti-football abomination.
Players have gone through their career used to normal break. That rhythm disrupted, in the biggest game of their careers.
It's of a piece with absurdly high ticket prices and Balogun controversy - Fifa ushering this through.

@Stevenoonoo @biscuitman007 Really? Everyone knows the Irish are Paddys and we are Kiwis.
Get over yourself. 😂😂😂

I guarantee you that if that were a player from any other country, they would have upgraded to red. This is the shit you get playing NZ at Eden Park. Remember the French were robbed in the World Cup final here. #NZLvIRE

@Aotearoafeline @biscuitman007 Nice derogatory language. Are you racist as well. Scumbag

@annmcelhinney It's who we are. We don't do high performance. But yet love to pontificate (and virtue signal). And at the same time are desperate for the world to tell us how great we are
English
In a pub in ireland, Argentina score, the place goes ballistic, explain it to me like I’m a child, I think it’s embarrassing and childish.
English
@amcl1986 @annmcelhinney @john_mcguirk On the whole- they really aren't (any more). Will be a few of course (it's a big country) but most had no expectations going into this tournament and haven't for years. Ps don't count "it's coming home" as arrogance. It's become a spoof and is a catchy tune- not a declaration
English
@annmcelhinney @john_mcguirk It’s mainly because they’re arrogant when it comes to international football. We’re associated with them both geographically and because of our history but don’t share this same arrogance… so it’s karmic to see them fail.
English
@DJMcCrumments Great info- fair play. Just a couple of things- Nankivell is not capped (four 'A' appearances all right. Josh Ioane did get a cap off the bench. Don't think Harrison is capped either- just made the Aus squad in 2020.

@EmilyMaher11084 It's a reflection of the world in general. It's just a shouting match and a race to the bottom for hot takes
English
I dont blame this 'Chef' in thinking he knows more about rugby than Farrell, or even the false confidence this platform has giving him to insult Farrell they way he does.
I blame the 4k people who follow, who have made him think hes in some position to decree this nonsense.
Dave Ahern@CorkGourmetGuy
If Andy Farrell ever finds himself out of work as a rugby coach, he'd be a roaring success as a painter & decorator, he talks a lot but actually does fuck all, he's eyewateringly expensive, he's got a million excuses & he's a master at papering over cracks. #JPNvIRE #JAPvIRE

@LeinsterGoy @Murray_Kinsella As with all pro sport, if the player/coach is wanted then these things don't matter so much. That's just the nature of it. "Culture" 🙄 You'll be talking about sweeping out the sheds next . Ps look closer to home for ref abuse and it doesn't seem to have stopped anyone advancing
English
@Murray_Kinsella O'Gara was a legend for Munster & Ireland as a player but has 34+ weeks of suspensions and fines totalling at least €40,000 in the Top 14 for abusing match officials, as a coach.
That doesn't really fit with Leinster (or Ireland) rugby culture.

@JamesMolonrxs8 @APoorRelation Agreed. The game has changed so much from the 'old days' in terms of running and tries scored that simply getting four isn't enough to warrant a BP any more. The game has moved on from the reason the BP was brought in and now the BP system needs to
English
@Stevenoonoo @APoorRelation Completely agree he’s got a beef with one country . I’m glad it’s changing though because being rewarded with a bonus point for losing has always been a nonsense for me.

I stopped following this account a long time ago.
His obsessive hatred of Irish rugby is nothing short of baffling. Really takes away from what this page is about and what it could be.
Best ignored.

🇬🇪 Georgia U20 have a tough match vs 🇮🇹 Italy up next to get a top 10 finish they have achieved in the 7 last editions of the Junior World Championship. The reason they have a harder match is because they got pushed down in seeding due to 🇮🇪 Ireland getting an undeserved bullshit bonus point out of a game they embarrassingly conceded 62 vs 🇦🇷 Argentina. As have said many times the outdated bonus point system has to be changed in World Rugby events. It has been messing up U20 rankings for years and will mess up the RWC next year too if it is not changed.
English
Just a note to the small number of Irish fans who are idiotically and bizarrely taking this comment as "anti-Irish".
The broken bonus point system is something which have been mentioning for years. The same point applies and can be made whoever the sides involved are.

@JamesMolonrxs8 @APoorRelation He does have a point. It is starting to change (next years Euro cup) and will change in further comps in the Northern Hemisphere im sure. But he should make the point generally. Instead he focuses in one game, and that's where he has an ulterior motive.
English
@APoorRelation Has a point though on the BP system . If you concede 60 points you shouldn’t get a bonus point . If anything you should be docked a point
English
@EamonMelia @fella_music_ For me, a big issue would be the amount of cabbages thinking they've seen the suspect and phoning it in (or worse) and getting it wrong. Thereby wasting time, resources and blaming(or worse)ppl in the wrong. Because there are so many fucking mongos around that's how it would be
English
@fella_music_ Thats bolox, He is on the run and needs to be found his picture should be everywhere, No point putting him up on crimecall in 3 years time.

Maybe i missed it but where are the pictures of the man on the run for this murder, Do the Gardai not want help to catch him ??

@SionBoxeo05 No one gonna comment on him just getting out the wheelchair hahaha

@MariaPIreland @onebehindtheear If you dont know the background story how do you know he's an international guest then?

@onebehindtheear Was it a child's property to begin with?
We don't know the background story.

@PaulOSuMunster @Caolan_Scully Apparently was interested in returning but only if certain people were at the helm and certain people were not around. Whether Mun were interested I don't know
English
@Caolan_Scully Munster could have went for him and he would be Irish Qualified come next year giving Munster another NIQ spot to use up next year there's brain dead individuals running this once great Province into the ground we're going to end up Wasps, London Irish and Worcester soon
English
La Rochelle have confirmed the signing of former Munster out-half Ben Healy on a 2 year deal
He joins Ronan O’Gara’s squad alongside the likes of Theo McFarland, Salmaan Moerat and David Kriel
English
@gorey_john @CorkGourmetGuy Of course not, I agree.
Munster are a shambles.
English
@Stevenoonoo @CorkGourmetGuy Totally agree. Not blaming you whatsoever, just pointing out that my lack of intimate knowledge of contractual positions does not negate the shoddy management & planning at Munster branch level. I may be a Leinster fan but, I’m also an Irish fan - Ireland needs a strong Munster.
English
Keeping JJ Hanrahan & letting Tony Butler go is a mistake. Tony's Munster career essentially ended after a bad game against Glasgow, yet JJ is forgiven bad performance after bad performance. Butler has far more upside. It's not the 1st time they released the wrong 10

Munster Rugby@Munsterrugby
A massive thanks to Ennis out-half Tony Butler for his contribution to Munster Rugby 👏 Tony scored 76 points in 28 appearances over his three years in the Academy and two years in the senior squad. A Grand Slam winner with the Ireland U20s in 2022, Butler made his Munster debut in the Champions Cup win over Wasps in 2021 and starred in the victory over Argentina XV this season. #SUAF 🔴
Ireland 🇮🇪 English
@gorey_john @CorkGourmetGuy It isn't. But I'm not employed by Munster rugby so it's difficult for me to affect that directly right now. I do what I can though.
I'm a big believer that words matter- and accuracy matters- now more than ever.
English
@Stevenoonoo @CorkGourmetGuy I’m delighted that my confusion over the contractual status of Munster players is more important to you than actually producing any relevant talent for the Irish team. Good for you! 👍
English
@gorey_john @CorkGourmetGuy Me correcting your use of language/and or confusion re contract timelines highlights poor Mun planning.....ok
English
@Stevenoonoo @CorkGourmetGuy Actually, it has a lot to do with it. You’ve illuminated a massive failure in planning by Munster Rugby. Thank you! 🙏
English
@gorey_john @CorkGourmetGuy No, me clarifying something with you on Twitter really has SFA to do with how poorly Mun has been run.
English
@Stevenoonoo @CorkGourmetGuy Ah, so you’re resorting to a petty win over semantics then? Exactly why Munster are in this position.
