Here’s my get ahead of the posse who I expect to be selected as our outhalf for Saturday…… Harry Byrne….. remember where you heard it first

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@tarnross @Murray_Kinsella Had exactly the same experience Tania, it was so bad that I had to ask the guy behind me how many times he had played outhalf for Ireland….

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@EmilyMaher11084 It was a superb idea and only a fraction off being a pass that we would all have been raving about.

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

Josh Van Der Flier not being a Test Lion is staggeringly unbelievable. One of the true great players in world rugby and a consistently top performer who never has a poor game. As Ronan O'Gara says, this won't define him as he will always one of the best ever 🏉

@Ryanair is there a problem with your online payment portal? Trying to give you money 😅

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@tarnross Congrats Tania. “Stick to your values as a coach” - absolutely spot on. 💪🏼🏉💙💛

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@MUFCNewYorkReds @SmithfieldNYC @ManUtd Hey guys, is there a way to officially join this group (membership etc.) or is it informal eg come along as you like etc? Thanks, Norm 👹

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@StretfordPost Superb post mate. Sounds naff but ETH the person seems like an absolutely quality guy and “gets” what United is all about.

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@aisling7 @leinsterrugby Fantastic info Aisling, thanks a mill 💙🏉💛

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@OldWesleyRFC He was really excellent. Clear communication, consistent with decisions and made the “difficult” calls without hesitation. It made for a tremendous match. Congrats Andrew 👏🏽🏉💪🏼

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@CiaronNoble98 @duffy_stephen @JoeDuffy36 @ccmwicklow @WicklowRFC Quality coach and quality lad too. Congrats @JoeDuffy36

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@Jdalt1999 @RugbyKino Agree James although think Henshaw at 12 is showing second playmaker signs and Osborne is very good outside him, with Gawwy Wingwose an outstanding winger in every respect

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@simonrug Moisture on the ball and/or tee, neither of which was wiped with a towel before he set up - often the case in closed-roof stadia that there’s higher than normal moisture

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@leinsterrugby @IrishRugby @lionsofficial Great article Des 👏🏽🏉

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@terenurerugby @YoungMunsterRFC @MJFloodIreland @IrishRugby @theclubscenepod Absolutely fantastic folks, well done 👏🏽 🕺 💃🏻

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@GavanCasey @threeredkings That’s fair too Gavan, appreciate the reply and thanks for all your great work covering the sport, really enjoy it

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@GavanCasey @threeredkings Not sure that referees need to “toe the line” Gavan? Luke Pearce IMHO has always been one of the very best refs in balancing his authority and respectful/appropriate engagement with players.

[Norman Byrne @byrnenorm]

@Care2much18 Joanne was a great mate through my late teens & then when we worked together for AIB. She became pals with my wife, was at our wedding & we kept in touch after she moved to US. Always remember her at this time of year - with happy memories which is what she would have wanted. 😘

#utddub Question for the lads - always felt Carrick was a hugely underrated player for us through most of his time at United - but was he genuinely rated by the players and Fergie during that time? And will he be a future United manager?
