I tried to buy tickets for the Australia game last week & there were none, unless you bought the package with a Japan ticket.
I saw a travel company yesterday advertising a ticket for the Japan game & a supporters bus return ticket - £175 😱

My 1st ever international was a ticket & bus for £45 😂

Surprising given that the Lions players got the 1st few rounds of the URC off & the Lions finished much longer ago than the rugby championship.

Cynical me would wonder if it was anything to do with recent results.

You should hear what I say TO him 😉

Could well be actually.
Zak Bagans name has been mentioned a lot too!

Yep.

All this just came to light last night so speculation is now rife as to who would have several million dollars & such an interest in a location like that...

Not now - someone else swooped In with the money yesterday & bought it before it could go to auction!

Jason Hawes had a go fund me underway to raise the funds which will sell have to be returned...

Apparently there's a live experiment where we see if we can move Justin's wooly jumper into the bin for good 🤔😅

I was shocked he was left out of the Lions!

Question is would he really want to move back to an English club to play for England?
If he has any sense he wouldn't.

Ah you definitely get it then!
Yeah my son is awful with noise 😞
This weekend has been a torture for him as it is with the wind! 🙈

My son is autistic & absolutely petrified of them too 😭
If it was just 1 or 2 set nights I'd happily take him elsewhere those nights, but when it's the whole month of October & he's crying his eyes out... really pisses me off too!

Given that they were almost not going to exist this year, plus they've always been in Benetton's shadow, I'd love to see them do well!
Although I said similar yesterday about the Welsh teams & I'm thinking I'm getting too sentimental 😂

You know it's bad when Piastri sounds pissed off! & I can't blame him 🫤

I really like Norris but McLaren did Piastri dirty there 😤

They might not be getting the wins (yet?) but I think fans of the Welsh clubs should be pretty happy - Cardiff especially, & the Ospreys have started off great against 2 strong South African teams!
Dragons getting the draw too (& a 1 min try against us 🫣)- I hope they can keep it up.

BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 4d

Great win for Munster!

But I'm actually delighted for Cardiff getting 2 bonus points, given the utter shit show that is currently Welsh Rugby 👏

Interestingly Crowley just got POTM - beautiful drop goal too (Prendergast tried 1 too & missed btw)

Id love to see Jack getting a chance! It was good to hear him talked about positively too after last weekend by non-Ulster fans

BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 4d

Id say it's very likely.
And while they're busy arguing amongst themselves we'll just sneak Jack Murphy into the role 🤣
