    It’s a physical battle of a sport and if you don’t enjoy that then it’s dull and no amount of running rugby can cover that up. Taking away the crowd takes away some of the intensity of it too. For me Soccer, football, basketball, hurling are skills sports first and physical battles very much secondary and tbh it doesn’t do it for me nearly as much. But it’s a matter of taste.

    A few Irish players realising how much more they have to improve today. Painful but necessary part of their progression I guess. Ronan Kelleher, JGP, Byrne, Porter, the midfield is dull....

      Ireland can't keep running into that white wall and expecting a different outcome.

          I dunno I just felt watching the same five games every spring was tedious enough without some bright spark apparently deciding it would be a great buzz to have them in November as well.

          It'd be like if the Premier League was on twice a year except it was just Liverpool Man City and four shit teams

              It's painful for us to watch but even despite the one sided score and that England have been 1.01 since 15 minutes in this is is a really good game. IMO

                We've got no running threat from 9 or 10. And two bulldozers in midfield.

                Need some skill and subtlety in there badly...

                  Funnily enough it would be 18-9 if we’d taken the easy penalties that were there. Which would have meant the last ten minutes we’d have had something to play for.

                  Need to reconsider that tactic against the big strong teams.

                    Like that!

                    Why not do that in the first minute? Get their defensive line thinking, turning and maybe slowing up.

                      We won the second half.

                        What a waste by England. Bringing on a scrumhalf like Robson in a game like this. I question Eddie Jones longer term plan a little. Still wtf do I know.

                          Ross Byrne was playing 5m further back that’s why. The guy has been given chances and he’s stayed too conservative. His is a career that is going to die wondering imo.

                            No you need to wait 74 minutes first. Carty who's not in the squad anymore has an array of chips and grubbers which would have been ideal today. Great execution by Burns tbf.

                            Imagine playing a team and having 1/4 of the opposition tackles but completely dominated. England get the ball wide and kick to the space so fast on each counter. Very impressive defence and line speed.

                              I was rooting for you, but England were impressive physically. This isn't a very important tourney, but Ireland are looking very tired in a lot of positions. That back row of yours got demolished.

                                  Byrne had zero telling impact on the game today unfortunately. Against that linespeed taking that extra step back is a recipe for disaster. He's a smart player, I wonder why he wasn't trying anything a little more subtle with the gaps behind the line.

                                  Burns did it, fair play and it came off too. But I think we need to put the ball into no-man's land a lot more, and earlier vs England and quick-line-speed defences more often. Only way to slow that down is to make them second guess.

                                    I was in Croke park the day Johnny Sexton came on to replace Contemponi and just took the ball and his body language screamed we’re going to do it my way now. And he had that famous pop at ROG. You just can’t imagine Ross Byrne ever doing that.

                                    We need a Carbery miracle or 1 or 2 from Harry Byrne, Billy Burns or Frawley to step up.

                                    In terms of backrow I think Rhys Ruddock and a fit Dan Leavy would have made a big difference today. I wasn’t convinced about the POM selection even though he was decent in the first half and did offer an important bit of leadership support for James Ryan (who played very well).

                                    Im not nearly as despondent as I was in March leaving Twickenham. We need a new loose head, time for a few hookers to step up, Ryan Baird to get a shot and to back youth in the backrow. 9/10 is an issue but we have decent centres to come back and new young talent in the back three which is exciting.

                                    I don’t think Ireland win the 6Ns in 2021 but you can see some green shoots...in a way if feels like some proper world cup planning if I’m honest. I’d love to hear how Lloyd sees it.

                                      Can't see Carberry ever playing again for a prolonged period. Sadly, he's just too slight for the pro game.

                                        As a fair weather follower of the game, I always thought he was rather slight at that level.

                                        I've crossed paths with him in person quite a few times, obviously in great shape but certainly a slimmer build than what I'd expect from an international.

                                          COVID put paid to the autumn internationals we were supposed to play Japan Australia and I think South Africa. Rugby players livelihoods are on the line they had to do something get some game time. Personally I think a country of 5 million bearing a country of 50-60 million England or France is a great result. They are great days in Dublin when either team is over a day out I miss. Kerry having to beat what’s been a poor cork team for years to win Munster can hardly get you wet or hard ?Change of Durant now with the super 8 s but Gaelic football is an abortion of a sport.

                                                                Last weekend our soft closing toilet lid stopped working, as in t stopped closing softly. I noticed this after banging it shut.

                                                                I banged it shut another five times.


                                                                ​After the third time my wife laughed at me for being an idiot. She then spent an hour and a half upstairs getting the baby to sleep.
                                                                She crept down the stairs afterwards, all quiet and we set Netflix up for The Queen's Gambit. 'I'm just goin to the jacks' I said.

                                                                BOOOOM

                                                                Felt like a fucking idiot.

                                                                Then did it again.

You can also bet on the results in Pennsylvania and Michigan, where Biden has commanding leads and both of which certify their results tomorrow.

Joey however, is unfortunately made of crystal. Munster still haven't given an ETA on his return from injury. Not sure what to take from that but they wouldn't give an ETA on Murray's neck injury in the past.

                                                                                                  The programme also discovered that a ‘dog casino’ for pets, which had been reviewed more than 17,354 times and boasted an average 4.3 star rating, had pooled reviews left for other dog toys from the same range.
                                                                                                  Customers of online retail platform Amazon have been warned about misleading product reviews ahead of the busy Christmas period.

                                                                                                      Indeed as long as there is money there and Trump hasn't conceded they won't close it.

                                                                                                      What doesn't make sense to me is that there is almost as much traded below 1.12 after most other similarly configured markets had closed and it became clear that any path to Trump being paid as a winner in that market lies in the fractions of fractions of a %. I see how a lot of it must be people buying money from people who want to close their positions but that cannot explain all of it.
