If at first you don’t succeed…

Really enjoyed this one from Fineen Wycherley last night.

Backs himself and makes a big play.

A short personal announcement from me:

Looking ahead to the incoming season, I would love to provide a publication/TV company with analysis on upcoming fixtures.

Can do it in English or as Gaeilge; whichever suits.

Have done so for Tuairisc and TG4 in the past.

Shares welcome.

That big news I teased yesterday?

I've written a book!

Attacking the Space: Inside Rugby's Tactical and Data Revolution is the book I wanted to read as a rugby obsessive kid. It will be released on the 29th January 2026, the pre-order link is:

A good win for Ireland.

Didn’t think it wouldn’t happen, but still a lot of tries conceded.

Will need shoring up towards the business end of the competition.

But a great win all the same; Grace Moore’s try from the lineout move probably my pick of the lot.

On to the next.

That’s a great start for Ireland.

Eve Higgins’s try (Ireland’s fifth) was hugely important; made what could’ve been a 28-21 scoreline into 35-14.

Perhaps a bit too much kicking at times considering Japan’s numbers but overall, a fantastic start.

Really looking forward to Ireland vs Japan.

Really not looking forward to having to watch it on my phone on a bus.

Credit to the Dragons for sticking to their guns but they’re expecting a lot from the WRU.

(Welsh Rugby fans, it’s only a joke (kind of), please don’t light up my replies.)

Munster vs Connacht ✅

Should be a cracker between Munster and Connacht today.

Keeps you busy, though, I’ll give it that.

Homework time before comms on Munster vs Connacht this Sunday.

Just the essentials.

Sheehan banned for four games, but effectively three.

Three games he was never playing in, realistically.

But that’s the way it’s been for a while; not his fault whatsoever!

My Player of the Series would be either Tom Curry or Tadhg Beirne.

Can see Finn Russell getting it, maybe.

But for two guys who were written off before the first Test by so many, they were instrumental.

Blocked a guy here who had replied “friends and family XV” NINE TIMES in the last hour.

I mean, are you honestly that stuck for something to do?

Wonder how the Series would have gone if Australia played like Test 2 and 3 in Test 1.

Sure, maybe an element of “the Series is won” from the Lions.

But it’s certainly been a very different ending than the start.

I’ve gone from 3-0 this morning to not being able to see the Lions score a try so what do I know.

I’d say the Lions will be delighted that Skelton gets a 30-minute rest just after halftime.
