Champions Cup started - Irish perspective

- Munster disappointing late draw…. uphill battle now especially with all the injuries
- Connaught and Ulster hammered
- Leinster with a huge win away to La Rochelle

My daughter plays hockey. Generally seems to be far more violent (but they can get away with it).

Had to check that Emma Cromack wasn't a typo of Cormack. Thought you could have been enraged over what happened to your daughter.

England flanker Emily Robinson is facing a lengthy ban for headbutting Sydney Gregson after a meeting between Premiership Women’s Rugby titans Harlequins and Saracens ended in chaos.

Tensions boiled over on a frosty evening in south west London that saw Harlequins handed three yellow cards before flanker Robinson blatantly struck Saracens centre Gregson with her head, after the Saracens centre forcefully pushed 18-year-old Ella Cromack.

Big win for a second string Edinburgh against Ulster tonight.A lot of second string putting in big performances.

Interesting fact Edinburgh are not allowed to be called Edinburgh Gunners because of a law suit by Arsenal.

Edinburgh have signed Ali Price. He and Ben Healey together are a great pairing.

I’m quite excited by the team we are pulling together. Could do with stronger centres but outwith that a strong team.

Still couldn’t beat Leinster seconds tho

Thirds I think

This is a great shout.

Be better than AUS in 2 years that’s for sure.

Thanks gents, much appreciated - the France match was definitely the pinnacle. In 2019, I'd argue despite not playing very well apart from the final that we deserved it. This time around there was a huge slice of luck involved too. We were good value but wouldn't have complained if we were edged at another point.

Hangover in the office was painful but worth it.



Just got under 80kg, I'll be ring ready in no time.

Don't forget to have your sponsor's logo on the soles of your boots. Have changed my mind on dragging out fights for the entertainment of punters in the EST tournament.

Still have enough in the tank to take EST's second best out in the first round.

Will have to be a first round KO though as it goes more rounds than that and a lung might get hacked up

Ring is going to be the smallest size possible, or inside a wardrobe. Ain't gonna be no dancing about or making me follow you

Feck congrats to Zap.





Best team may have won but Zap is just a fat welterweight



Now if you will excuse me, I have a lemon to suck.
