That’s very interesting, by the cut of your jib I just assumed you’re a Munster man. Fair dues.

Got a lot of time for Connacht and their fans. I’ve spent many a night getting chinned with them in M Fitzgerald’s.

USA embracing ‘pressure’ in final event before World Championship

Connor Nicolas 1 hour ago

Several weeks ago, my life was irrevocably altered by a crypto romance scam a cruel amalgamation of emotional manipulation and financial exploitation. A person I believed to be my partner, whom I had met on a niche trading forum, gradually ensnared me into investing in a purportedly “groundbreaking” decentralized finance (DeFi) project. Over several months, they meticulously cultivated trust, shared fabricated returns, and even orchestrated video calls with supposed “developers” to lend credence to the scheme. By the time I discerned the truth, a staggering $215,000 of my life savings had evaporated into a labyrinth of blockchain addresses, and the individual I thought I knew had vanished without a trace. The betrayal was paralyzing; I felt not only financially devastated but emotionally shattered.As a small business owner, I am no stranger to risk, but this was a domain far beyond my comprehension. I promptly filed reports with the FTC, collaborated with cybersecurity experts, and spent countless sleepless nights poring over Etherscan, desperately attempting to trace the transactions. However, the scammers’ adept use of privacy coins and offshore exchanges rendered the trail elusive, dissipating like smoke. Each dead end deepened my despair and sense of helplessness.In the midst of this turmoil, I confided in a family friend about my harrowing ordeal. After hearing my story, he referred me to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES .

Hurricanes' backs in All Black contention because of what 'Rieko is not getting' at the Blues

SC 1 hour ago

Ioane has been the starting 13 for the All Blacks since 2020. That is 5 test seasons to demonstrate he has the distribution skills required to feed his outside backs. However, Ioane has proven he cannot.

Irish provinces in danger of being left further behind, in their own country

Yes, I agree. For me, the Bulls have been the only SA team over last few weeks to show the necessary consistency to suggest they could go really deep in the URC. Their victories over Munster and Glasgow were tactically very impressive. Didn’t play too much rugby in their own half, kicked well and then pinned their opponents back, stopping them behind the gain line. If you combine that with a pack that’s always going to win you scrum and maul penalties and an accurate kicker like Goosen you have a recipe for success, especially in the NH conditions. They need more of a cutting edge on attack, which Willie should bring.

The best thing you could say about the Sharks is that they’ve been gutsy of late. Defensively the first half against Ulster was an absolute horror show. Huge gaps and doglegs in the defensive line with players slow to react and slow to get into position. They did well to fight back but it seems that it’s more down to individual brilliance than team cohesion that they are high on the log.

The Stormers continue to have moments of utter flakiness - both in attack and on defence. Having SFM and Willemse back has made a huge difference but against the likes of Leinster you can’t afford soft moments and the Stormers always seem to switch off for parts of games.

'Rugby is kind of at a junction here': Henry Pollock on rugby values

Try celebrations are fun, within certain limits. But there is the potential for players to get carried away and do things that are inappropriate or unacceptable.

The NFL had a problem with this and eventually laid out some rules on touchdown celebrations, banning things like sexual references, taunting, and anything dangerous. Refs apply a know-it-when-you-see-it standard.

Rules like that should not be necessary, but if players can’t limit their behaviors then I guess that’s what Rugby will be doing too.

The Chiefs have 6 loose forwards better than any of the Highlanders’ loosies- 6 Finau and Parker, 7 Boshier and Brown, 8 Jacobson and Sititi.

It’s possible Leinster are becoming - or already are - victims of their own success. They do deserve huge credit for seeing where the game was going. The schools pathways that feed their academies have been well planned and financed. It’s now a case of their groundwork paying off.

Historically, Ireland’s single greatest problem at test level was it’s small pool of players. That’s now been recalibrated to be it’s single greatest strength. A strong and capable pool of 40 players to broadly allow them to be 3 deep in every position including a handful of hybrids.

I‘m worried the central contracts are beginning to erode that. How many times was Sexton or Murray picked in the last few years not on form but because they were 80% fit and essentially costing the IRFU 50 grand a match?

I’m also fascinated at which 10 will outperform his opposite- Josh Jacombs who has been solid, not spectacular, this season when playing 10 versus Ruben Love in only his third start at 10 in Super Rugby.

Should be a fantastic battle between two outstanding loose forward trios. Chiefs’ trio is larger but the Canes’ back row is more athletic.

That’s fair and I think it’s a fantastic league with all teams adding something.

If I supported any of the other 3 Irish provinces I wouldn’t actually be too upset roaming around 6th or 5th place in a competitive league. The standards are improving for sure.

The other 3 seem to have an awkward blend of youth and players in their last season or two. A bit more stability with their coaching set ups and backing the younger lads should be the way forward. They only have 3 of the 14 central contracts between them so they shouldn’t have to worry about test players.

Yeah, big step backwards and they no longer have the dying embers of a handful of senior test players, either.

With Ulster too, I think it’s time for their supporters to get a little more realistic about where their teams are at.

A lot depends on which teams peak in the next 6 weeks. I have been critical of the Sharks not performing to potential, but their error-strewn (and tackle-missing) behaviors have reduced, and they were starting to look a bit more like what is promised on paper. It’s not awesome, but the precision seems to be emerging, and that’s without Etzebeth. Stormers have legit game-breakers all over the park and a pretty good pack, but their tight-head problem is currently a fatal weakness. If they had Malherbe and Fouché they would be a real challenge in the play offs. What worries me about all of the SA teams, including the Bulls, is that the best championship teams keep their opponents from scoring more than about 15 points, but these teams not are not getting that right. When you let your opponents score much more than 15 points you start depending on moments of brilliance, and those are hard to bet on.

Certainly the image of England players celebrating a penalty up in the faces of their opponents faces isn’t a great look. As Itoje confirmed, they are conditioned that way at schools level. It’s coached in them.

The image of Boris rugby tackling a child will stand the test of time.
