I think he's taking the piss now.
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Stop subtweeting me

I had to look up subtweeting and apparently it is a bad thing to do - something like talking about someone behind their back? You have my unreserved apologies if I have unwittingly done so. If your post has sailed whooshlike over my head, fair play to you.
Is a sub tweeter not a drum or a loudspeaker or something like that.

Not sure on the flag part as he's not too close to us (except in Aviva games) but height about right and, and pi$$ed and very vocal definitely right.

Wanting the scrum to happen quickly when you spot the opposition 2nd row is out on his feet is hardly rocket science now. It's good awareness from POM alright but doesn't exactly mean he's a tactical genius.

David Kelly in the sindo, match review.
Writing about A Byrne's try "Tiernan O'Halloran dotted down for the second try after just 14 minutes and Byrne converted for a 12-3 lead".
Writing about connacht's fate "ten points ahead with ten points left, the game was up"
"It was Mrs O'Leary's cow"

Kelly was also trying to say the 4 teams in Euro semis arent the best 4 teams as they won with weakened teams at the weekend
at best the inference is they targeted Europe
reality is most of the players have been competing on 3 fronts and if they can win with weakened teams (especially in derbies, especially away) then thats a sign theyre strong

Didn't read it but the more the Irish medium talk about the upcoming Aviva game the better.
Leinster slipping quietly out of town and mostly unnoticed would be the way to go IMHO.
