Expect Eddie Jones to explode over some of the decisions against his team v Wales. They changed the face of the game

A complete farce that this title isn't on the @IrishBookAward Sports Book of the Year shortlist. It is one of the best Irish sports books of the last decade, never mind this year. Yet another absurdity in this annual little bunfight that is never short of them.
You won’t find this on shortlist for Irish sports book of the year but motor past that minor issue. It’s a terrific read. Great credit to Ryan Caldwell and his ghost @dplockhart A rugby book like no other and well worth reading

This is a great result for Munster. Very good bit of business getting Nankivell in the first place; huge boost to morale to keep him in the second
🗣️ “I never really thought I’d be here this long, so to be able to extend until 2029 is super exciting. I’ve got a lot of faith in where this team can go.”
🗣️ “I’ve bought a house in Limerick and doing renovations... I’d say it is home for me now. The people of Ireland and Munster have been amazing to me.”
Alex Nankivell speaks to Dara Smith-Naughton about signing a new contract extension with Munster through to 2029 and preparing for Leinster. | 🔴🏉

Munster's appt of Avan Lee as interim CEO is the third thing they've got right in 6 months: coaches Jimmy Duffy and Jared Payne and now an experienced, clued-in rugby head driving the bus. So much to be put right, but it's a start

A federal judge caught the Trump regime lying to the Supreme Court. Yesterday. In writing.

And just like that, the most damning Epstein files completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Lets make this viral again 👇
Double take here to make sure it wasn’t AI. If there was a gold medal for quality candour then Seamus Flanagan would be adding it to his sack of All Irelands. It’s like an uncle telling his 14 year old nephew the whole Santa thing isn’t quite as it seemed ..but life will go on
Imagine having presence of mind to think about leaving the scene injury-free and with gold medal around yer neck, rather than bust a gut to win a race already won - Kate O’Connor explains why she didn't lose the plot in final 50m. What a star
This deserves to travel at the speed and accuracy with which it was delivered. Top drawer!

Seemingly the cake disappeared before the man who should have had first dibs got a crumb. Look no further than the hungry looking lad with his hand already on the table..
Our own Seán Moran has retired after 32 years as GAA Correspondent of @IrishTimesSport.
GWA members and GAA President Jarlath Burns saluted his outstanding career before Mayo gave him the perfect send-off!
A very happy retirement & happy birthday to an all-time great👏🎂
Absolutely top drawer. To have the composure and skill to execute a circa 45m pass to a postage stamp, when his heart must have been beating out of his chest? Class
Couldn't but be impressed by his contribution when it was clear his own race was run. Fronted up v well for post match chat on field. The saying "if you're not getting your head wet you're not one of the lads" doesn't always ring true. Well done
Congrats @AIDOXI
The resilience you have shown has been rewarded today. Imagine having given up 2 years ago..you would have to sit on the couch with 50 years of regrets… look at you now..whether you kicked a ball today doesn’t matter a fuck..
You were there for every meeting, clarity session and training session. Your input will be appreciated by those who matter. You can do what you like now. Enjoy the celebrations.💪❤️❤️🥇
The effortless hang-time for the goal v Monaghan must be one of the many boxes ticked for the Aussies. Kobe is exactly the type of X factor player Irish rugby needs to nail down
Eighteen years of age.
Perhaps only one season in the Mayo jersey. (Move to @AFL shortly)

I’ll just leave this here, because as far as I’m aware, free speech might be hanging on by its fingertips, but hanging on it is, and we all reserve the right to chuckle.
My thanks to Joe Nunnink for the clip.
