Apparently today is national hashtag day. I'm giving a shout out to migraine Ireland #notjustaheadache. The amount of times I've heard "sure it's just a headache".

Sport can be cruel, Elliott Daly's Lions tour is over after picking up an injury in game he wasn't originally selected to play in. IMO he was going to be part of the test squad. He's shown well so far and his versatility would guarantee a replacement spot if not picked to start.

The amount of priests who had their phones out taking pictures of the coffin when it was being taken away is shocking and so disrespectful. #copon

It's a little ridiculous in a top competition that a side can win 62-0 and 52-0 in the space of a week and think it's meaningful. If Leinster doesn't win Europe this year heads should roll

Leinster is still in my opinion giving away too many penalties. This will hurt them in a tight game when kicking penalties might win the game. #justsaying

Thankfully Ireland managed to win that game or else that assistant referee would be getting slated. Shocking call that cost Ireland a possible try.

RTE news : Jackman: €6m drop in 6N income would cost IRFU dearly

Failing to get the bonus point against Wales and leaking those 2 late tries to England could cost Ireland dearly.

Jackman: €6m drop in 6N income would cost IRFU dearly
The €6 million swing between a grand slam and a third-place finish in the Six Nations could have a significant impact on the IRFU, according to RTÉ's Against the Head panel.

Ireland didn't deserve to beat France but with all the technology on offer how could the referee decide that Peter O'Mahoney wasn't taken out is beyond me. That was just a shocking decision.

I don't get why the world is shocked with Trump. He literally set his stall out on his campaign trail. Quite frankly the next president of America will have a lot of bridges to mend.

Good to see a leader stand up to Trump, other countries need to take a leaf out of #Zelenskys book 👏

It needs to be said that Ireland was shocking today. There is no excuse for only beating Wales by 9ts. Wales are shite at the moment and not to get a bonus point is unacceptable.

Hate the 20min red card. Ringrose tackle was bad and Ireland should have suffered the consequences. Fuck the spectacle protect the players

I thought Sam Prendergast had a very good game but in my opinion JGP was the best player on the pitch.

Extremely disappointed with Roy Keane, on the latest episode of stick to football he didn't correct Lawrence Dalligo that we Irish spent 800 years fighting British oppression not 600 years. Get your facts correct

You got to love the balls of Jake Paul saying Canelo is ducking him. If the fight lasted more than a round Canelo should hang his head in shame and quit boxing

I'd love to hear from the councillors and TDs on the plans for addressing the empty units on the town and quay front. We need something #stepup.

The problem for Jack Crowley is he's doing so well as a finisher he's playing himself into that role.

I can't believe that Donald Trump went straight into blaming mode before even offering condolences to those who lost their lives in this tragedy. #greatleadership 👍

Regardless of your political persuasion, it just shows a lack of common decency for TD's not to applaud the appointment of Micheal Martin when he was named as Taoiseach.

The Denis Irwin episode of stick to football was brilliant. Without a doubt he was the best full back of his generation in English football.
