Here for the great rugby community! Also likely to talk lots of baseball! Ireland and Leinster Rugby, Red Sox and Hamilton.
Thanks Mark (and Pan!). I was trying to remember her name all night. It changes but remains uniquely Irish and I’m so proud of it every year! #LateLateToyShow 👏👏👏Pan!
Kudos to Pan Collins whose idea this was in the first place 50 years ago @rte.ie @rteone.rte.ie @latelateshow.rte.ie #LateLateToyShow

“You can’t spell Christmas without CMAT” is my best work this week so I have to post it here as well. Now.

Imagine trying to explain to another country we've transitioned from a breakdancing 10 year old to a county parade containing a juggler, various tractors, a roller skating tin whistler and a vespa and no one questions it

Roy Keane helping a kid with Tourette's suspended in the air to grab toys for children in hospital. I fucking love this country #LateLateToyShow

Desperately sad news. A wonderful cricketer to watch and the reason I supported Hampshire. RIP Judge
Gutted to hear that Robin Smith has died. I was lucky enough to work on two books with him in the early 90s and he couldn't have been more charming. A huge loss to his family and friends

I know Tsunoda isn’t great but the fact he’s on 33 points and Max could win this despite McLaren dominance surely makes this his most impressive season

Remember seeing this on the other place. So good! Deserves a home here too 👏👏👏😂😂
Five years since I originally posted this on the other place. Mad!
The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

If reports are to be believed, Ryan Baird probably packed down in a 7 man scrum against the Boks with some form of break to the lower leg

Nails

Hopefully not out too long, he had an excellent November

Kwagga is some player and so fun to watch - doesn’t have the physical gifts of many of his teammates but squeezes everything out of what he has 👏. Tackle on Garbisi - wow.

All so predictable @mollyknight.bsky.social.
what did Rob Manfred think was going to happen when he encouraged MLB to embrace gambling as a revenue stream?

This is fantastic and an even better argument for the genius of this team than their wonderful main channel video. Thanks guys - no spoilers but 1 and 3 are the two best rugby players I’ve ever seen. Great list though!
So who was the 2015 All Blacks' best player?

Magic from Jemimah! Come on India

Ohtani reached base nine times, setting a postseason record, surpassing the previous mark by three! Amazing

They should build a statue of Freddie Freeman outside the stadium, slightly smaller than the Will Klein statue that ought to already be in progress

More uniqueness from Ohtani 😂
just went to @stathead.com again. shohei tonight is the only guy ever to record 12+ total bases and 3 walks in the regular season or playoffs. it has never happened before in major league baseball

The last time I was at Dodger Stadium for a game like this, it went 18 innings and Nate Eovaldi became a legend.

Munster have been really good, Leinster not accurate at all and overplaying everything. The Gleeson injury is dreadful - hope it’s not as bad as it looked 🤞

Toulouse are phenomenal and it’s so much fun watching Ange play with such freedom - what a fun player to watch. Shame his kindred spirit LBB not playing today.
October 12, 2025 at 7:42 PM
What a score / Toulouse are some team!
October 12, 2025 at 7:13 PM
Look at that card! Can’t stand the yankees but tiresome that Judge will get the blame for this - it’s all on Cashman!
October 5, 2025 at 9:36 PM
👏 Ernie Clement!
