Rugby, rugby, & rugby, not necessarily in that order. #andacyclist

Is it a good time to suggest investing in an e-cargo bike?

You’re burning €2+ a litre to move a tonne of metal to the shops.

The e-cargo bike does the same trip for less than 1 cent.

@ElGido @thepaulwilliams More than half the squad won't from the UK!

[Michael Forde 🇺🇦 @MikeFordie]

@BatterfishBlog @anon_opin Nope, they are private cars for hire. Public transport has timetables and set stops, taxis do not.

@na_croi @eoinscan @loosehead1981 @jim_demps Grand so, I assume you'll be calling for Doris to sign Connacht so.

@AJLangheld @IBIKEDublin @GardaTraffic @RSAIreland @rte The your van is dangerous and should not be on the road. It's your responsibility to ensure you can use your mirrors.

@Holdmypint @IBIKEDublin @GardaTraffic @RSAIreland @rte Go cycling a bike in Dublin for 30mins and count the number of times somebody overtakes you before immediately turning left in front of you. 🙄🙄

@IrishCycle @mhantain @NutgroveSC @WorldBollard The bollards are there to prevent cars from parking there block access to the bike stands in the middle.

[Michael Forde 🇺🇦 @MikeFordie]

@EJofIreland @CaolanSRugby You're right, Doris and Henshaw should both be playing for Connacht.

@Ejxoc1030 @ste_ph_en__ @ConorColumb @OfficerDave2 @mikeyoh97 @nippy1111 @JoeNaConnacht We're talking rugby here not GAA. Political borders don't really have any relevance. Buccaneers are affiliated with the Connacht branch not Leinster. In much the same way Roscrea playing the Leinster schools cup despite being in Munster.

@ConorColumb @ste_ph_en__ @OfficerDave2 @mikeyoh97 @nippy1111 @JoeNaConnacht Roscommon.

[Michael Forde 🇺🇦 @MikeFordie]

@ConorColumb @ste_ph_en__ @OfficerDave2 @mikeyoh97 @nippy1111 @JoeNaConnacht They both grew up playing rugby in and supporting Connacht... If you want claim Doris because he played for Blackrock, that same logic make Henshaw a Connacht man. You could at least show some consistency while telling people to "wind thier neck in"

[Michael Forde 🇺🇦 @MikeFordie]

@OfficerDave2 @mikeyoh97 @nippy1111 @ste_ph_en__ @JoeNaConnacht Two of Leinster's current 9 centrally contracted players are from Connacht.

@the2ndRow It's not the ref/laws ruining games in these cases, it's players and coaches that simply need to do better!

[Michael Forde 🇺🇦 @MikeFordie]

@the2ndRow Fully agree! But even without player safety argument 20 min red card still doesn't make sense. Discipline is a core part of rugby. If you're team is not disciplined enough to keep 15 players on the field, you should not get a reprieve after 20 mins.

[Michael Forde 🇺🇦 @MikeFordie]

@WhiffofCordite 20 min red card is a load of bollox.

[Michael Forde 🇺🇦 @MikeFordie]

@Murray_Kinsella Need to go back to a scrum for held up. Drop out is too harsh on the attacking team. Teams will always pick and go close in as with no backfield to cover for the defending team, sucking defenders into the ruck is the only way to create space out wide.

[Michael Forde 🇺🇦 @MikeFordie]

@CryptoIRELAND1 @stats_feed If you're paying anywhere even remotely close to that you deserve to be ripped off!

[Michael Forde 🇺🇦 @MikeFordie]

@Furlo Irish people love to claim British coverage is biased, and they may be right. But how many French pundits did virgin media have on Friday night? Irish channels are just as bad, if not worse.

[Michael Forde 🇺🇦 @MikeFordie]

@BrianDafingers @MarkAnthon95585 @JoeNaConnacht I believe the irfu don't allow provinces to get into bidding wars over players.

[Michael Forde 🇺🇦 @MikeFordie]

@HotpointIreland need to book a repair but it seems you don't actually have a team in Ireland. Irish number just going directly to the UK who can't help and just tell me to ring the same number again. Maybe @conor_pope can help solve this one.
