Me on the day he rage quits because Big Al panelled him in a meeting for being a clueless clownshoe

Do you think there are outside influences making that worse? Like Thala says SA don't really have a clear starting 10 and everyone seems broadly fine with it (I think, I don't see much SA press) whereas with Ireland there's a real "we must know who the new Johnny is and we must know now!" vibe

Jonny @spacemanjonny.bsky.social · 1d

That's a legit point but I still think you kind of need to know who your starter is...the ABs are in the middle of a generational nosedive because they can't make their mind up

This frustrating article is another example of Irish rugby pundits constantly saying that the IRFU somehow didn't do any long-term sucession planning for Sexton, when (as the article itself admits) multiple alternatives were in fact given an extended run and for various reasons haven't worked out.

You'll need to run the concept of "working class Dublin schools" by me again...are those the ones with no horseplay?

Called the GP and got the message, "if you're experiencing a life threatening emergency please hang up and call 999. Today, our GPs can only offer emergency appointments, if it's not an emergency call back tomorrow"

So if it's an emergency I should call 999 but if it's not no appointment for me? 🤔

Ha, it was me! It was nothing important

There were UK-based Jets fans at the game today...that means people not from the area, with no ties or family loyalty, who sat with the whole range of 32 teams in front of them to choose who to support and picked the Jets. Absolutely baffling.

Reminds me of the time my pal from uni text me very excited to tell me she'd switched from basketball to rugby and been put in the second row so I said, "oh jumping in lineouts? You'd be good at that"

The day I discovered my phone corrects "lineouts" to "lingerie"

Dear Auto Correct, are you trying to get me sacked? I often sign off e-mails with, "I look forward to your thoughts." In a recent message to a female associate, I almost sent, "I look forward to your thighs." Always re-read before sending.

I was doing this one with the kid, after 4 guesses we had two options left and went for the wrong one. Fuming.

The change kit rules have always been the most bafflingly rugby union thing ever, but the fact they're doing it now when there's not even a clash is infuriating

This is not something that's ever really floated my boat, but for that pair I reckon I'd give it a crack

I actually think I've hung out with Lee in person more than either Iain or John

Jonny @spacemanjonny.bsky.social · 7d

Also, am I alone in thinking that's one of the worst things ever? I don't want to have a GP appointment at an unspecified time that day, I've already got things to do that day. I want to phone now and book a time on Monday that I can get to without a hassle

Seemed to be a combination of things that I guess they were technically right about, Lamaro quite rightly asked what the ref expected the tackler to do as well and he said, "I understand it was low but he still hit his head and he still has to at least try and wrap his arms"

I was sat saying to Mrs M, "I don't think I've ever seen Benetton play a full game with 15 players before" and then bam, random yellow for no reason

Ugh there was a much bigger gap between England and Munster when I wrote that out, stupid Bluesky formatting

Is it really magic when you're doing it a full week after the game was played though?

Bath aren't getting relegated to the Championship any time soon, how would they get to Doncaster?
