Wasn't our former CEO Shane Logan a big cheese in Russia before?

Let's hope Putin is as spectacularly unsuccessful as cap'n Logan was in achieving world domination.

Saves me buying an Italy shirt for the game.

Fair play to him, though I'd prefer NO ulstermen wasting their time playing for the Paddybastards, hopefully, none will be broken.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

My security sources tell me there is panic in the Kremlin - not the gay bar- as the Ruskies have been thrown out of the Eurovision song contest.

Well done Europe, hit them where it hurts :shock:

I'd guess there isn't a Wop fast enough to get near him, any chance they have will almost certainly be a clothesline straight arm, so I fear you may be on the money.

Don’t worry about banning them from the SWIFT system, as long as they can’t participate in a sh!te competition that no one watches or gives a f¥ck about.

Great to see young Lowry getting a start. I wasn't going to watch the match, who's interested in watching Italy getting another hammering, but now that he's starting, I just might.

If you want reliability you pick Keenan -sure and steadfast but he's not going to make trys or score to many

This is a game Ireland have to put points on the board which they could do provided the game opens up not to sure if Carberry has the game to do it ( shuffle ball ) and Sexton playing the game back in the pocket won't enable the backs to get beyond the gain line

There is no AKI to shield them either by lining out at 10

The only reason POM is playing is the fact there is no other obvious captain available in the absence of RYAN and HENDERSON because POM is no longer the player he was -- he is basically no longer a go to carrier and a turnover king

Watching Scotland v France. Half time and good watch so far. It's all about the French. Brilliant and beautiful but chunks of time taken for tea breaks. If the Scots have what it takes to use those 15 minute slots, they might make a game of it but, I have to say, I very much doubt it. Butchering the chance towards the end of the half probably says enough.

The weather forecast is OK by recent standards.

Can't believe the tmo didn't look at way Wales line-out was disrupted for dombrants try. It looked like some blatant closing the gap and even barging of the lifters.
