@Caolan_Scully Going back through the rugby posts for any Ulster chat from last night, seeing this, then trying to remember if Ethan McIlroy was even on the pitch and what he did. I clearly need more sleep

@HeTalksRugby The performance by Ireland and Scotland after they played Wales was very good. I'd give Wales some credit

Only recently found out this is the official national anthem of the Sultanate of Oman. Which is quite interesting

@SportCampaign What's the source for this Wada quote?

@timoconnorbl Genuine question. Do you think Frisch is a better option than Henshaw or Ringrose? If you're the Irish coach, is Frisch in your 23/15?

[Shane @ShaneDevine]

@Overthehillprop You can both be a future Ireland 10 option and therefore merit inclusion in the squad whilst also not being the first choice option now for Leinster. These truths easily co-exist

@CaolanSRugby @jaredwright17 What is the South African view of Ireland? With key losses domestically and at the World Cup, is Ireland viewed as having a soft under belly when it comes to the crunch?
And if Rassie was picking an Ireland squad, would it look any different?

@curates_egg @dementedmole You can listen up until 47 minutes in grand

@TheLooseH @ScotRugbyBlog That's a rabbit hole alright Jeff. I've got Jared Payne (Ireland 20/20) and
Israel Falou (Australia 73/73 + Tonga 1/1).
Brian O'Driscoll, Thierry Dusautoir and Diego Dominguez all in the one sub appearance team.
Mike Ross (59/61) feels like the prop equivalent of always starting

@MasterOfNonePod A draw via stalemate happens when the opponent is not in check but has no legal moves. The opponent king has no squares to move to where it wouldn't be under attack

@SamRobertsComms @rugby_europe If we're using conkers rules then I believe so

@HugoGordon1 Henshaw at 12

[Shane @ShaneDevine]

@HugoGordon1 You've given up your rule from last week

[Shane @ShaneDevine]

@CaolanSRugby I actually quite like this year's format. If the parameters are 4 group matches on to a last 16, then I think it's as good as you can get. Everyone still with something on the line with two rounds to go. Playing two teams from the other leagues makes most ties interesting too

@gortoshay John Ryan was the only starting forward for any province at the weekend in his 30s. Average age of starting pack per province - Leinster 23.75, Ulster 25.125, Munster 25.5, Connacht 24.875. Average age of the combined starting forwards of all the provinces was 24.8 this weekend

@Denis_Hurley Is it the same linesman?

[Shane @ShaneDevine]

@threeredkings Ireland caps this season or too early?
