Amhrán ná bhFiann (in English "the Soldiers Song") is only played in Dublin. Since 1995 Ireland's Call has been our official away from home anthem and is also played after Amhrán na bhFiann in Dublin. When games are played in Belfast only Ireland's Call is played. Ireland's Call was really...

Agree TMO made the right call. The elbow was a bit cheeky but it didn't prevent a try being scored.

That's Ireland for you, currently we struggle to put two successive good 40 minutes together let alone to good performances. Nilled again in the 2nd half to blow a half time lead. Really not looking good for Maddigan, very unlucky on his first cap he's going to be out for a long time...

Decent 1st half from us. Paddy Jackson has really improved compared to the Scotland game as has the lineout. Still a hell of a lot of work to do to secure the win in the 2nd half.

What KevinO said. Season's run concurrently unlike say S15 and the Shute Shield, ITM Cup etc..

2 doses of S15 this morning and now I'm pumped for today's 6Ns games. As usual on the day of the Ireland game my optimism will inexplicably rise as kick off gets closer.

Worst thing about being a Tahs fans today is if Ireland lose to France later today my thoughts will be something like "At least the Tahs..., Never mind."

Take the money and hand it to me. Mogg will be more than happy with a gold jersey. Folau has a bit of work to do to justify his starting place at the Tahs before he can think about the Wallabies. Maybe after 10 games he will be better as Qwerty says. But for now he should just focus on...

Interesting view from Brian Smith on Sky post match. Asked who he would pick at 7 to face the Lions if Pocock is out. Basically said he'd pick George Smith to start but in fairness Hooper has earned the right to be the starting 7 in Pocock's absence.

Yep, that's what I mean it took a while to change those kinds of things with some players at Leinster or ship out the ones who wouldn't or couldn't change. Plus in fairness Leinster before Cheika were a much better team than the Tahs he inherited.

Someone's actually been able to read Dingo's book? I heard they even tried deciphering it with the rosetta stone to no avail.

Have to say Tahs are about where I expected (obviously not hoped) us to be at this stage of the rebuilding. Very similar to Cheika's early days here at Leinster. Obviously no guarantee the Tahs will see similar improvement to Leinster under him. Still it's too early to hit the panic button.

They went on so much about importing Fijians, maybe they should import a few for the commentary, surely they couldn't be any worse.

Yeah he kind of exaggerated with the never seen one come off out of thousands. Like everything else it's about executing it well and selecting the right time to do it.

Kind of fitting that Folau's aimless chip kick led to the Brumbies bonus point try.

Props didn't even bother pretending they touched at the last scrum.

It's a pity for the Tahs that you can't go to uncontested line outs. Finally get one right and run into each other.

Hope it's just fearing the worst on Pocock's injury and it's not as bad as they're speculating. Lions tour would be poorer without him.

At the start of that pitch side interview Nic White sounded like he'd just been caught doing something he shouldn't by his mother.

Before your added the bit about the commentator that's who I thought you were referring to.
