I don't think we will see Bowe this side of christmas, they were talking about 12 weeks, if we see him at all. I have a horrible feeling that his wrist is a complete fucking mess after they bodged it together on the Lions tour.

Sorry that table takes some deciphering but couldn't get it to fit.

It is not a move to 13, when he was fit he was first choice 13 for Munster ahead of Laulala. Staying fit is the Earls problem but hopefully after a really good break he will get a good run without injury. The best performances by Munster last season were with Earls at 13. The best performances...

Have to say that as a neutral I am very concerned for the future of the game in Australia. I hope I am wrong but there seems to be lots of talk of how hard it is to sell the game and, that combined with a team that is struggling a bit, although who wouldn't against a frighteningly good NZ...

Looking forward to todays game. Of particular interest is the new scrum regulations. What are the weather conditions like? Much as I am sure you are all hoping for a delight of free flowing running rugby I will be very interested to see what happens if the game becomes a bit of a scrum fest to...

I am talking about the feeling in the UK and Ireland. Of course it's going to be good craic at the games. I haven't spoken to many English people in England who are exactly overwhelmed by a predominately Welsh team beating Aus. Sure everyone in Aus had a great time and the ARU have made a mint...

I agree.

Dai if you are just going to pick all the players from one nation why not just play Australia as that nation? Personally I think it would have been a lot better if Wales could beat Aus by themselves and we could stop pretending that we all like each other when it is patently obvious that we...

Read my post, I agree it is crazy to support the Lions franchise and chuck your toys when it does something you don't like but you cannot pretend that the decision has not affected lions support in Ireland whether you like it or not. If the Irish rugby public were to come out and make it clear...

He has. Although I think it is a nonsense to buy into a franchise and then spit the dummy when it does something you don't like, the palaver over BOD has affected the Lions support in Ireland. You can try and pretend that yesterday's result affected that but if there is one generalisation about...

Murray wasn't though. Genia is some player but Murray more than held his own. Already the best scrum half I have seen out of Ireland, could end up in the Bod, POC, Gibson, Kyle echelon.

In terms of the result yes but he has damaged the Lions brand IMHO which suits me. Plenty of welsh crowing will help immeasurably as well Cardiffblue!?!? Enjoy your win though ye lions fans, enjoy your win. Especially the Irish diaspora, hopefully the green monkeys can come down and win the...

The game as usual was won in the forwards.

Was neutral, although watching through my fingers with my teeth grinding anytime POC or Conor Murray were playing. Thank feck it is all over but jebus we are going to have the mother and father of jobs keeping hold of Conor Murray after that display, he came on and altered the whole tempo of the...

Well played the Lions. Did not think they had that in them but Halfpenny is one of the best in the world. Will never support a concept that I believe holds back Irish rugby. Personally thought BOD was there on reputation rather than anything he achieved last season but pleased that the best...

Stuart Barnes whining like a two bit whore, Gwan the wallabies!!!

Gwan O'Connor you beauty!!! Gwan the Aussies, you can win this and then there will be tears at Bedtime!!

This is looking ominous for the Aussies fucking Poite is a half wit.

Sadly the Aussies are fucked because Poite has decided the Lions are going to win.

I am not representative because I don't support the Lions full stop and regardless of the selection. But the sizeable minority of Irish rugby fans who want nothing to do with the Lions has grown over this tour.
