What % is it they need to get to recover expenses? I think its around 10%.
Would be a shame if any of them got the 200K and a big setback for MaryLou if her girl doesn't.
I like your thinking but won't follow because surely SF have to a bit more engaged to finish second. Expect to see and hear a lot of MaryLou this week.

What a cracking game. Leinster are a bit off it still but that game is what makes European rugby just fantastic entertainment. That result will be good for both Leinster and Toulouse I reckon. Sets up a cracking rematch in January that’s for sure!
Joe Tomane was poor enough defensively I thought and I was surprised Sexton kicked it away with two minutes left. Toulouse were very impressive in their line speed and desire.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

The balance with two power wingers is always difficult to get. Very few teams in the world can actually make it work, because of the defensive issues, it has shifted towards almost 2 full backs and one power wing. Gives you a lot more options on attack with the wing stepping into first receiver role when needed and also being able to split the field on defence with two options back deeper to launch counter attacks.
That coupled with the fact Joe Tomane is a power wing without any of the power, leaves me scratching my head about his signing

Originally posted by V for Vendetta View PostApparently he pretty much begged to be signed and must have been value but I agree that it doesn’t appear to be working. Having said that he’s played more at centre than wing for Leinster so far and it’s hard to Kearns new defensive system but some of his hits today were very weak I thought.

Extreme longshot, but have tried to find a copy of this Neil Jordan movie for yonks. Mostly in a completionist way; I did see it in the Stella in Rathmines at the time, though just that once. Don't even think it was ever released on dvd, so really asking if anyone has a dead or living relative or friend who is a hoarder that might have a copy

Tbh with 3 out of 4 Irish provinces losing and Munster being poor despite winning with a bonus point I hope it’ll keep teams and supporters grounded for a while. The big edge comes as the opponents get ground up over the course of the season. We’re still a way off the All Blacks and need to understand that given an improving Scotland and South Africa facing us in the RWC.

Is there much of a live music scene there and if so what's currently hot?
Its the only place I go where I'm uncomfortable walking a couple of blocks to a supermarket during the day.
But don't let that put you off if you need to be here, there are plenty of good clubs close enough to anywhere you would be staying.
There is music everywhere but most of it is Christians singing and kids blasting the latest pop from their phones.
There was a really good afrobeat band playing 'here at the hotel last night supposed to be well known but I must have got their name wrong 'cause I couldn't find them online.
Its 50 50 whether I'll be here next weekend and if I am this time I'm deffo getting out to the Fela Kuti shrine.Turning millions into thousands

Originally posted by V for Vendetta View PostYeah it was great when it worked for Ireland in the 6ns and the lads were bollixed and Earls was lined up to go for it. Here it wasn’t on, the kick was 10 yards too far and there was no need to panic. Not Johnnys greatest game but that’s life.
Reminded me a lot of of when Wales was being praised for defending 40 phases vs Ireland a while back but the Irish attack was useless, and never stressed them.
Best way I can describe what was needed is 3 dimensional attack, need to stretch defence both horizontally and vertically, hence why a lot of the back door options are there to pull defenders outwards, creating a gap between the blitz and jockey defence.
Any breakdown around the 15m lines makes it easy to defend, not enough space between the ruck and sideline to force defence to work around which means they can generate a lot of linespeed with square on defenders back infield.
Ideally leinster would have worked to the sideline, then tried to generate quick ball with a wider carry across the gainline, can stretch the field from there

Even I got a bodyguard on my sole visit there. The big bosses got two.
When one BB queried the need (and expense) for two bodyguards he was told 'the first bodyguard is supposed to guard you, the second one is there in case he doesn't.'"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Originally posted by Strewelpeter View PostSounds like a normal show for turgidy, what made this one so cringy.
They had one of the cast from The Greatest Showman on singing a song, then a quick Q&A with her. They then had two people from the audience who were going to sing a song to see which one won a pass to Tayto Park and the actress had to pick a winner.
The two were hand picked and most likely applied for it. One was from an am-dram society and put on a fake beard so she would resmeble your one's character from the film. The other contestant was a lad from Kilkenny who explained how he knew how the character in the film felt and he could emphatise with the character as he was the only gay in the village back in the 80's.
They then break into Journey's 'Don't stop believing' with them singing a line each, back and forth. The lad from Kilkenny forgets one of the lines and makes a bit of a hash of it. They are both average at best singers.
The actress can't pick between them so Ryan says not only do they both get a pass to Tayto Park but the whole audience does.
At this point, I wanted somebody to shoot me.

Miggeldy has to be on at least the 17th fairway.
