DCU! UCD! I always thought there was only one university in Dublin - TCD.
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

Whatever about dropping BOD, his ghostwriter appears to have been dropped!
PAUL KIMMAGE HAS resigned as the ghostwriter of Brian O’Driscoll’s much-anticipated autobiography.

“Penguin Ireland regretfully accepts the resignation of Paul Kimmage as ghost-writer on this project,” a statement reads.”

Alan English, a friend and former colleague’s of Kimmage’s, will complete the project.

“I am delighted to work with Brian on his autobiography. It is a privilege to work with such a talented, professional Irish sportsman,” the Limerick Leader editor says.

O’Driscoll adds: “I have enjoyed working with Paul over the last few years and it is unfortunate that we cannot complete this project together. However, I look forward to working with Alan.”

Has there ever been less interest shown in an Ireland 6N game on this forum?

It think everyone is resigned to much the same selections as the Autumn Internationals tbh.

When's the match day squad announcement? Tomorrow or Friday?

Some wonderfully accurate reporting from Sky Sports

Ulster star Boss was man-of-the-match in Ireland Wolfhounds' victory over England Saxons at Kingsholm last weekend.

Assistant coach Isaac Boss: "We've called Isaac in for the session this morning because Eoin has a slight problem with his calf.

Yes Kofi, as soon as folk see Best, Henry, Trimble, GP, Hendo & Luke M are all involved they will perk up their wee ears big time.
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.

There were three lovely lassies from Kimmage,
From Kimmage, from Kimmage
And whenever there was a bit of a scrimmage
Sure Paul was the toughest of all,
Yerrrrrrrrrrraghhhh, Paul was the toughest of all.

Oh his Da said he'd buy me a present
A present, a present
An ould stool & a lousy stuffed pheasant
And a picture to hang on the wall
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh a picture to hang on the wall

I went down to the tenancy section
The section,the section
The T.D. just before the election
Said he'd get me a house near me ma
Yeraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh, Said he'd get me a house near me ma

So Paul Kimmage can't stand BOD either, he should get AAT to administer a good firm slap.

BoD needs 5 caps for RADGEs record right? He has also never started on the bench.

Thought he had maybe a one cap as a sub? Remarkable either way.

He's not played very many more times for Leinster than Ireland though, well below 200, Sexton will play more games for Metro by Easter!

Given these alarming statistics and given how BOD is supposedly a Warren Gatland in irish selection then I see no way that we will have a new 13 this 6 nations.

Key question is. How many caps to Brennan and bod need again to reclaim their centre record?

7th cap was as a sub v Romania. Jonny Bell started at 13. BOD scored a DG.
