Autumn Internationals 2022

Why is the alternative international jersey not orange? You'll thank me come Saturday evening.

Ireland seem very good at repeating their mistakes, i.e. produce a green/blue change shirt for playing v South Africa. The Boks have more common sense and have a white change kit!

Is South Africa the only other country we need to wear an alternate kit for? And we pick a kit that clashes with it

Ireland A vs. The Maori all blacks in the RDS on Friday. What happened to moving these games around the provinces?

Simples. One province of D5 is RDS the other is AVIVA and for lesser matches there is always Donkeybrook.

And as things stand, only people in NI with a Saorview box will be able to watch it as it is only on Virgin Media Two.

[Jetstream]

And of course Munster get their annual fund raiser in Cork plus financial help with their replacement second row. We should have borrowed big ftom the IRFU when we built the Kingspan. We could have defaulted on our loan like Munster did.
Connacht and Ulster are the forgotten Provinces.

Does that mean Bealham on the bench for Furlong?
F+cking ridiculous if so. Marty has played Bealham out of sight the last two seasons.

I'm concerned about them playing and breaking Hendy. McCloskey must the water boy or already broken.

This weekend is apparently too soon for Hendo, McCloskey likely to be in 23 shirt v Boks.

IRFU apparently working on a tv solution for NI viewers for the Ireland A game.
