@adammoursy @MarkLTighe Whats the problem if it funds the game?

@mangorugby Leinster squad is88% homegrown players - probably the highest in the league. So 18mil to keep your own players? Seems fair enough.

Twitter is full of people who think its appropriate to tell others how to grieve and how to pay tribute to those they're grieving. This is a heartfelt tribute from three people grieving their friend.

Yesterday at Glen Hansard’s send-off at St. Patrick’s Cathedral Bono played a voice message from Patti Smith… her first reaction to hearing the news of Glen’s passing. It’s a lullaby for Glen’s family… which was followed by Beautiful Day rewritten by Bono and Edge for Glen……

“See those eyes flashing landing light blue
Seven towers holding up the sky for you
Arrivals and departures, this is what we do
You write your life ‘til the story becomes true
Ginger cake smile, a movie star too
If the street be your stage how come there’s thousands in the queue
McDaid’s feels like a stadium but there’s only me and you
You left a hangover from hell, of this there is no doubt
But as you wake up in heaven, all the angels will shout“

The SA online response to another Leinster loss is weird.

SA accept nothing but the best for their own team & thats why they are the best.
But yet when Nienabar who is an excellent coach, but has come up short again, they defend him to the hilt.

Leo & Jacques failed again 🤷🏼‍♀️

@allTxs @CiaranFl4n4g4n Osbourne yes. Keenan is starting FB so no, not exactly. 10 has been a real mixed bag for Leinster the past 2 seasons. Frawley dropped in form and confidence after the NZ game last Nov. Ross, Sam and then Harry. Plenty of opportunities but nobody screaming "pick me"

[David @David_Gaule]

@CiaranFl4n4g4n @allTxs Leinster haven't used him as a 10 (which I don't agree with) because of what he brings as a utility back. But he's essential for us in that role. He's right to go if he wants to push for a starting 10 spot...but its also true that Leinster wanted to keep him.

Do French TV production staff get medals at the end of the season for their contribution to French rugby?

So, so much being ignored

So many game changing moments being missed

Has played a big bearing in this second half

This is what I (and AI) think the new Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre should look like:

@joehas Our debt is manageable and relatively cheap, while housing, infrastructure and public services are the real constraints on growth.
If you just clear debt, the benefit is limited and one-off. If you invest it properly, you ease bottlenecks, add growth and increase future revenues.

I have no idea what Sam Prendergast has done to warrant the level of abuse he gets on a weekly basis. He’s a talented player who’s fun to watch, even if he makes errors. He’s still improving. This doesn’t make him a bad person.

I’m sorry @CadburyUK but your chocolate is now horrid.
Palm oil makes the taste and texture all wrong.

Profiteering above all else has ruined the most famous product from my city.

Should never have sold out to out to Craft.

How is this legal? Surely a street tout can just charge an extra 20percent on the face value and call it a "service charge" ?

[David O'Connor @djoc21]

This is touting on a whole new level! @TicketmasterIre @IrishRugby #irevwal
