A clock counting down to the end of [Irish coach] Declan Kidney’s contract (click here). Bit cheeky but given his recent team announcement I bet half the rugby-loving public are watching the seconds tick by.

I’ve created a Leinster tee that will go to print, only of they win. Leinster fans have for too long a ‘good’ rep, we want to readdress this. BTTB is not a pretty image of Jamie or a picture of the cup (if you want that, Elverys can be got at 1890 209 309), this is our hardrockbadboytee. Printed on 100% cotton soft no collar shirt. I’m turning preppy D4 heads into smelly rockers.

We have three tees to give away IF THEY WIN.

To enter just finish this sentence.

I deserve the Blue To The Bone Leinster Tee because…

A brilliantly-edited BBC video of highlights from this year’s Six Nations.

Includes scary tackle (4.36), that Tommy Bowe try (4.45) and Hotty McHot, Richie Grey (9.20).

He’s no Bressie but he is ridiculously hot.

Thanks Jamie O’Neill

Here is Benetton Treviso’s Botes on the receiving end of some straight talking from referee Nigel Owens during his team’s RaboDirect Pro12 clash with Munster  at the weekend.

 

“The secret behind Ireland’s surge is a revolutionary and suffocating defensive scheme, known as the “choke,” that relies on ferocious tackling and a loophole in the rules of the game to sap energy and momentum of its opponents. As Ireland prepares for a quarterfinal matchup with Wales on Saturday, this new system has confounded opponents and transformed a struggling team into contenders for the sport’s biggest prize.”

“Executing the choke requires two defenders to tackle a ball carrier from either side. One goes high, trapping the runner’s arms against his body, the other goes low, preventing him from reaching the ground.”

“The physical toll required to perform the choke is so exhausting that it would have been impossible to implement without the fitter, faster, physically stronger players in today’s game or the time to practice it obsessively which is now available in the professional era. But when it works, it traps opposing runners in a sort of suspended animation.”

Dammit! They’re onto us.

The last bit of serious play in Ireland’s win against Australia. Tommy Bowe pipped at the flag.
