Re: Connacht V Ulster

For those like me who didn't renew Viaplay subscription (through Sky), I logged on to the app and was able to watch the earlier match.
Laptop set up for Ulster match and cabled into TV for a good nights viewing (apart from final result)

Re: Leinster VS Ulster HC QF 01/04/23

When my son was playing school 1st XV rugby about 12 years ago they regularly had fixtures against the 'big' Dublin and Cork schools. I remember chatting to some of the opposition school parents who advised that if a boy was part of the Senior Cup squad (i.e. 1st XV) he was expected to board at the ...

Re: 6 Nations 2023

Crazy that, with the World Cup draw being made so far ahead, the top 5 teams in the world rankings are on the same side of the draw.

Re: Ireland ? in New Zealand

For any Sky TV viewers who, like me, don't pay out for Sky Sports access.

Sky are offering a rolling monthly deal at £14 p.m. for access to Sky Action and Sky Arena (Ch 407 & 408) where all the summer internationals are being shown. :cheers:

Re: Any word on the Academy?

Did I hear correctly during the commentary that, going into todays match, Crothers tournament stats were 55 tackles and none missed?

That is some going over four matches.

Re: And today, joining the underground .....

A great show in it's day. Totally mad and it's appeal crossed the generations. Wouldn't mind watching them again. Wonder if the content would pass muster in the current climate?
It looks as if The Goodies is available on Britbox (free 30 day trial) :cheers:

Re: COVID Proof Needed from December 13th

I was at the Waterfront Hall last night (Australian Pink Floyd) and the door staff were using a scanner which read the COVID Cert code and then flashed up OK on their scanner.

I'd imagine something similar will probably be in use at Ravers.

Re: And today, joining the underground .....

Steinman wrote some fabulous lyrics. I wonder why he only did one album on his own. As far as I'm aware Steinmans album (Bad For Good) was supposed to be a Meatloaf album (follow up to 'Bat') but Mr Loaf had vocal problems and couldn't sing for a few years so Steinman recorded the album himself.
