Twitter won't allow me (successfully) add to this thread anymore. Possibly because the guy who built my car is now in charge. This is not a conspiracy. It's just that my car breaks down a lot so I'm not surprised that "X" does too.
This is a live thread about driving from South Dublin all the way to Liguria in Italy in an electric car with a 12 year old daughter and a yellow dog called Honeycomb.
That's a brilliant catch and pass from Kinghorn to move the ball that far that quickly. Catches the ball early, with his hands already bottom and top to spin it, moving it across his body in one fluid motion. #Lions2025
Ireland and Lions hooker Stevie Smith smashed Sean Fitzpatrick in the jaw during a 1992 test in New Zealand. Afterwards, Smith wrote: “He just spat bits of teeth into his hand… He threw them to the ground and ran back onto the pitch. He just smiled at me…”

In knew this would happen. @dieworkwear has come for Ireland. And we have no defence
the insistence that men should always wear socks in every single instance is how we get one of the worst trends today: men wearing socks with loafers and shorts.

It’s not the point that Will is making (which I agree with) but Osborne is onside for this. But even if he wasn’t you’d have to be without joy to be demanding it to be cancelled. I feel the same about “marginally” forward passes for tries too.
If your response to this try is that you want anything this close to be disallowed, you are genuinely beyond help and will never enjoy rugby
Waymo is a godsend for working parents. Need to hand off the baby between meetings? Put them in a Waymo and send them to your partner across town. Impossible before now. Really grateful we have this technology 🙏
Ireland is an insane place
Today An Coimisiún Pleanála upheld Fingal CC’s decision. It said demolishing the old ramps “would diminish the visual amenity on approach to T1” 🫠
Think South Africa are a good bit ahead of everyone else at the moment. They have a conveyer belt of talent in the most important positions, are well coached and the law changes (outlawing of croc roll and no escorts) largely favour the way they play,

Why would you want to keep having the only meal where it’s generally socially unacceptable to consume alcohol? It’s also the worst meal of the day. By far. This is shit marketing.
At Mach 1.7, Overture outflies Earth’s rotation. So you can have breakfast in London… and fly to New York… for breakfast. And then to San Francisco just in time for breakfast. In fact if you just keep flying west you can keep having breakfast indefinitely.
You’d got to hand it to the Greeks. They knew where to build a massive theatre.
Rassie’s percentage would be even higher if he was any good at beating Ireland. Andy Farrell’s winning percentage with Ireland is 80% but being a great big tournament side like SA is obviously more important.
