Funny, I’d often prefer to go to rugby matches on weeknights than a Saturday afternoon/evening when there’s loads of other demands on my time. For lots of people, being a Saturday fan probably takes more commitment than mid-week.

[Parlez-Vous French Rugby @RugbyVous]

As someone who watches a lot of French rugby, where 9pm kick-offs on weeknights sell out, the excuses used by pretty much every other nation for low attendances are weird.

Easier to just say ‘we are casual fans who aren’t that arsed, really’

Interviewed Philip Browne @IrishRugby over a decade ago and still remember his modesty and generosity of time with my fan-based understanding of all-things rugby. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our former Chief Executive Philip Browne.

Philip dedicated almost three decades of service to Irish Rugby and the scale of his contribution to our sport cannot be overstated.

Everyone at Irish Rugby is thinking of Philip's family, friends and former colleagues at this sad and difficult time.

Have they considered maybe he just doesn’t want to come back?

I want someone to fund my idea of a Davos-style event where every speaker has recently retired.

You would then immediately hear the unvarnished truth about absolutely everything.

The picture on the left is from 2012 when the filter was broken.

The picture on the right is AI generated.

That's the issue in this Presidency, everything is based on lies, even the most trivial of things.

On board the papal plane from Rome to Madrid:

I asked the pope about what he thought about number of young people showing an interest in faith/conversions. He referenced that Bad Bunny has a concert tonight in Madrid.

“If they are confronted with the question: do they want to see Bad Bunny or do they want to see the Pope, I think many will see Bad Bunny. But I think there will also be a few here to see the pope. And that says something, you know.”

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
