Good to see Serena is out.

Saw her live once in a country where women are supposed to not be seen or heard, and her pornstar grunts were heard around the desert

Great to see you hail and hearty Father, I do worry when I don't get the odd threat from you, that you may have fallen off the wagon. Happily not.

Jizzer, could I make a request between friends? As you may or may not know there is no Rugby team called "the box", as a major fan of South African Rugby and with due respect to some of Ulster's finest would it be too much to request Boks or even Bokke or at a stretch Saffers? It just grates on an old man's ear.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart in anticipation of your cooperation,

Unfortunately money dictates that we have to have these Nov internationals and summer tours every year where the familiarity gets way too much. Would far rather Ireland toured Oz one year properly and played some S15 sides as well as a test rather than being in and out of the country in 5 days having played 1 game. Better for player development too.

I'd be happy to see the back of some of these matches to keep the touring concept more special. Would hate to see the end of the Lions, both as a fan who has had many of my most memorable rugby supporting experiences following them and for what it obviously still means to the players, whatever any of us may think.

I can safely say, no Fleg its not just you.

Daresay there will be a considerable gnashing of teeth down Mexico way, BOD has been average however I thought Heaslip has been as good as anyone & I'm not his greatest fan.

Bit of a meltdown on Talkback the day too. Must say, as someone who doesn't give a flying feck about the Tour, it's hard not to derive some amusement from all of this.

I actually enjoy it.

The problem with watching Ulster/Ireland is while I watch every match, I sometimes don't enjoy it till it's over.
On the other hand, from a NH point of view I'll support the Lions, but I don't have the same level of interest/commitment, so I can happy spend a few hours on Saturday morning watching familiar names play a international level game without being overly bothered my the result either way.

I suppose I could just watch the IRB sevens that's always on sky, but I tend to find it a bit boring (strangely enough - seeing as it's meant to be more entertaining) maybe you just need to get hammered and where a silly hat.

Keith Wood was practically in tears and I predict Gerry Thornley will call it a coup de grâce.

It's all a bit precious from the Irish meeja. I wouldn't be surprised if Joe Schmidt and Matt O'Connor are quite glad as it is a major incentive for BOD to show he isn't past it, and a precedent has been set for him being dropped if his coaches think he is.
