My brother Kev has been working to grow the game in Ballymun through the Poppintree Youth project. Really nice piece, that’s worth a read👇🏼 leinsterrugby.ie/2024/04/30/rug…
Never happened.
Someone told me they didn't feel she carried the ball enough.

One of the best to do it.
A very good right footer kicking to the right touch from an acute angle will basically turn into an average or below average kicker. A slightly above average left footer can be expected to out kick the righty by 5-10m, gaining you between 0.8 and 1.8 tries per 20 kicks

The sportswashing continues. I really hope that sense sees out here. I'm not all about 'rugby values' but surely you'd imagine it has to count for something. Not all money is good money.
Piers O'Conor is more than a decent player. Plays mostly at centre. Didn't think Connacht needed shoring up in the middle if Aki, Daly, Forde, Farrell, Ralston, and Hawkshaw are all there next year. Even if Aki doesn't play a tonne. Have I missed a departure?

@TheLooseH @URCOfficial If you have a mobile 8, think it can be a great option for a lot of teams.
But I don't understand?? Men in their 40s have been telling me nobody cares about women's rugby all tournament?
Interest in @RedRosesRugby is at an all time high: 📺 Grand Slam win v France was the most watched sporting event in UK last wknd 💥 Had a 1.9m peak, largest RRs audience since '17 WC final 📈 average viewership has jumped by a third compared to last yr telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…
Gavin Coombes has so often been Munster's go-to man for big carries but really liked how they switched up his role off this scrum play in the @URCOfficial. Covers a decent distance just to get in position. Nash's carry sets it up so well too. #LIOvMUN #URCGO #RugbyAnalysis
@SamLStandsUp Thought of your tweets when looking at this! Where it's a viable option, more teams should take advantage of left footers.
A very good right footer kicking to the right touch from an acute angle will basically turn into an average or below average kicker. A slightly above average left footer can be expected to out kick the righty by 5-10m, gaining you between 0.8 and 1.8 tries per 20 kicks
@URCOfficial Munster have the look of a team who are comfortable in their own skin right now and make a lot of good decisions as a result. Even a small thing like this on Saturday. Usually he kicks but it's a tight angle, suits a left foot better, Crowley sees that and calls in Zebo. Smart.
The Sports Bra, a women's sports bar, has announced its plans to expand across the USA. This bar has sparked a great interest in women's sports bars and creating unique spaces dedicated solely to celebrating women's sports🔥 Read here👇 hersport.ie/sports/the-spo…
Here's a piece on Owen Farrell, his performance against Bath and how he's reaching a fascinating period of his career. Will he kick on (and re-invent himself a bit) like Wilkinson, Carter and Sexton? Think he might. telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…
@TheLooseH Piers O'Conor is more than a decent player, he'll definitely add value to this Connacht squad. If he can get the ball rolling, he could quiet easily be a Frisch to Munster signing.
Great 🧵
@TheLooseH Agreed, not all money is good money, but greedy governing rugby bodies will jump at the big payday, as we all know will happen as night follows day."
Energia Women’s AIL 23/24 A league season filled with incredible rugby and breathtaking tries. #energiaail #weloverugby
@TheLooseH if we really want to do this nonsense. do it in our rugby cathedrals alternate North/South. around our countries. Rome/Ellis park/Twickenham/Eden park/aviva etc etc.. not Qatar half arsed empty stadiums
@TheLooseH Everytime I read 'worth 800m' or equivelant, I wonder who's it worth that to. So many parts of rugby have been sold off to private equity, have we see the worth/value from that I wouldn't say so. It certainly didn't tricky down through the game
@TheLooseH Wonder if the only way they’ll see sense is if other sponsors get involve - Qantas can’t be the happiest given Qatars record, remember how they reacted to Israel Folau
@TheLooseH I agree. But unfortunately, we also know that money will bring its own pressures.
The competition is shit Hosting it in Qatar is shit The sports washing is shit It's all shit
