@CianTracey1 Did you see his 2 games against Charlie Gamble? Not a hope he could make a test 23 after that. Gamble was man of the match in the midweek game last week .

Fully expected Andy Farrell to make Josh van der Flier a Test Lion this weekend. One of the first names on the Ireland team sheet, recent world player of the year who is playing well - must have been a very difficult conversation, especially with a 6/2 bench. Tough on JVDF.

@MarkMacdonald75 @McDev_J @Murray_Kinsella Hahaha what a performance 😂

@McDev_J @Murray_Kinsella Ryan’s stats on Tuesday: 2 carries for 0m gained 3 completed tackles, 1 missed 2 penalties 1 yellow card

🦁 Lions 23 for second Wallabies Test 💪 Bundee Aki in at 12 ⚡ Andrew Porter and Ellis Genge swap roles 🦒 Ollie Chessum in for injured Joe McCarthy 🏉 James Ryan, Jac Morgan, Owen Farrell, and Blair Kinghorn come onto the bench

@RTEsport @bernardjackman When Donal Lenihan questioned this live at the time re taking the points & going to extra time. Bernard insisted that no winning it now was the way to go & it was the correct call. Hindsight much…

🗣️ 'One of the worst in-game decisions I've seen...' @bernardjackman laments the lack of clarity coming from the Leinster coaches when it mattered most against Northampton. 📺🎧 RTÉ Rugby podcast: rte.ie/sport/rugby/20…

@hicksimon @Walsh50Brendan Matfield has stated Paulie was the best he played against, that counts for something I’d think.

@Walsh50Brendan Thought about POC but in era of whitelock, Botha, matfield, AWJ, retallick I don’t think so.

Irish players who were for a year or two considered by most/many to be the best in their position in the world (pro era). O'Driscoll, Sean O'Brien, Furlong, Sexton, Murray? All debatable besides O'Driscoll, but Murray on a short list, either way.

@neil_treacy @Kieranbcfc2 @DjmComments How come we need to build depth at 10 & drop Crowley but lack of depth is fine elsewhere, the media never call for any rotation anywhere else. For instance why is there no calls to give Hodnett a shot at 7 or Timoney getting a shot. But there’s no media biased at all… none.

@muirisq @Kieranbcfc2 @DjmComments Why does what not apply to other players?

Some of the stuff written about Sam Prendergast this month has been a bit OTT, but the idea that Jack Crowley is being thrown on the scrapheap by Farrell is far more ludicrous. For years we complained that there hasn't been any competition for the 10 jersey. Now there is.

@neil_treacy @Kieranbcfc2 @DjmComments And why does this not apply to any other position or player bar Jack? Why can’t we try players in any other position? Oh yes because they aren’t from Munster.

@Kieranbcfc2 @DjmComments But that's exactly the point. Whenever someone suggests another out-half should get game time, it's being perceived as some sort of personal attack on whoever has the jersey, rather than just being a compliment to another player.

Happy Birthday Packie

@kenhassett13 @SFlynner11 @NewstalkFM @PatKennyNT @Brenc95 I’d say there’s as much chance of Leitrim winning the Connacht final Sunday as Ireland for the Eurovision!

@muirisq @SFlynner11 @NewstalkFM @PatKennyNT @Brenc95 😂 which 1 will happen first, Ireland win the Eurovision or Leitrim win Connacht

30 years on from winning Eurovision, Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan reunited for a special live performance of Rock'n'Roll Kids @PatKennyNT

@kenhassett13 @SFlynner11 @NewstalkFM @PatKennyNT @Brenc95 As Charlie McGettigan said though it was the 1 to win: - 3 in a row - Riverdance - And Leitrim won the Connacht final 😂

@SFlynner11 @NewstalkFM @PatKennyNT @muirisq @Brenc95 It is a classic!! Pity for them that Riverdance was the same night.

@irish_pics @SFlynner11 @Brenc95 @spower60 @monadih10 @kenhassett13 @drohan_pault All time classic 😂

“And Ireland have got to contain the brothers Baggio.” Moments later: “The Baggio brothers, of course, are not related” George Hamilton 👏🏻

@SFlynner11 @CheltenhamRaces 1 of the best. Bar the year he didn’t run & cost us a fortune 😂

@CheltenhamRaces @muirisq some horse

Oh Istabraq ❤️ 32 years young and still absolutely full of life. If it was up to him he would probably take on Constitution Hill in this years Champion Hurdle 👀🤣

@Brenc95 @rathgormackgaa Up the f*ckin Village ❤️💚

@rathgormackgaa well done lads. Brilliant performance all round & well deserved winners. C ye all in maudies later with the Conway Cup. #upthevillage

@threeredkings And here are the TV3 panel with a love letter to Sexton, fair is fair here he clearly could barely walk from 55/60 on. Every stat in favour of Ireland, possession & territory etc, that’s completely on the half backs. Good performances at 9 & 10 wins that easily.

Sexton was barely moving there towards the end but we don't make the change? Feels like we left a few shots in the chamber there. The game was there for us. Two yellow cards but our big players didn't fire for us. #IREvNZL

Left it all out there but we 100% fucked that away - again. Call it what it is. This hurts. Went out on the shield, but went out all the same. #IREvNZL

@OurGameHQ Just like butlerstown 😂 @Brenc95 @SFlynner11 @spower60 @monadih10 @kenhassett13 @padraiglarkin1

Owen Mulligan’s goal is still 😮‍💨🔥

@AdamMoynihan @kenhassett13 @Brenc95 @padraiglarkin1 @SFlynner11 @spower60 Some stuff

Here's the most important goal/point in every Kerry v Dublin championship match since 1975. #GAA #KERRYvDUBLIN

@kenhassett13 @PeteFarrell14 @Ryanair Ha oh no danger here 😂

@SFlynner11 @90sfootball 1 simple word but fitted the moment perfectly

@90sfootball @muirisq yep

On this day in 1990, Ireland beat Romania on penalties to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

@irish_pics @Realaldo474 @kenhassett13 @Brenc95 @SFlynner11 @spower60 Only a long ball team…..
