Switch the kickoff times you miserable rats. The main event should never be on first.

Big moment in Ireland's win. Sam Prendergast hits a beauty of a spiral 50:22 kick, Ireland score equalising try off the lineout. Has to catch on inside shoulder, Blair Murray would've felt he was well positioned in backfield, low fizzer of a spiral clears him for 50:22.

The Jaws trailer landing in 1975.

Sam Prendergast. Lions 10.

A 0% chance Russell would nail that kick. The complete opposite of a clutch player.

Maggie Thatcher hearing about this sensational game #WALvIRE

Anything less than a 93 point win on Saturday and Farrell must be summonsed back from his sabbatical, IMO. It's what Maggie Thatcher would have wanted. #IrelandWeek

A difficult one for the UAE to deal with, this. They value men over women across every walk of life, but they also love famous people. They must be tying themselves in knots.

Ja.

@gortoshay1.bsky.social @leinsterroyalty.bsky.social @jaylong.bsky.social an argument to say a Triple Crown on Saturday (played three, won three) would be a greater achievement than Wales' 2011 World Cup run (played seven, lost three). Thoughts? #IrelandWeek

The annual Six Nations relegation pieces have surfaced. Save yourself reading 1,000 words:

Mood of the nation

Oh fock no. One more game! www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

Warren Gatland may have lost 324 games on the bounce, but that pales in comparison to his selection of Marcus Smith over Jonathan Sexton Esq. on the last Lions Tour.

Let's hope our Welsh friends don't find that segment on Virgin Media, where the panel have just suggested we should be resting a load of players in Cardiff. 🚨

Many NFL games draw 15 million+ viewers in America alone. Not an exaggeration to suggest this is the biggest sporting event ever to be held in Ireland.

We're the back to back champions yet have been lowkey done with our kickoff slots this year. Nobody aside from France likes Sundays. 2.15pm is too early for a hape of pre-game pints. Super Saturday needed every gameweek - 3pm, 5.30pm, 8pm.

Legitimately can't listen to another word of this Crowley - Prendergast discourse; such absolute bollox. It's going to ruin the next decade, isn't it.
