Big match from Munster.Don't really understand the criticism of their so called ugly rugby.I love open running rugby but I also admire the collective mastery of this Munster team.What a beautiful machine with that ruthless side to them.

Tommy Bowe does a decent enough diary on the Irish Times website. Worth a read.

Ah, he's a bit of a simpleton to be honest. He's a rugby player though, not a journalist, and he's bloody good at what he does.

Very few of these blogs tend to be any use in my experience. They're usually horrifically tame and generic because if they're in any way controversial they either provide fuel to the opposition/cause squad unrest/both.

When I was looking at that last night it seemed to be a problem with Hosting 365 rather than just malware downloads on his site alone.

"This squad in particular, however, may debunk that theory and prove that us rugby players at not quite as slow as many think.

I have an engineering degree, Jamie Roberts is studying to become a doctor, Alun-Wynn Jones is almost finished a law degree, Euan Murray is a qualified vet and many of the other players are all either doing courses or already have a degree under their belts.

It was going so well there until players like Harry bloody Ellis opened his mouth. He really let us down yesterday by asking a South African; “Why is Nelson Mandela so famous? Was it because he discovered South Africa?”

Poor Harry said he just got a little mixed up and was merely taking the piss! I’m not so sure."


Fantastic!!
