Instagram tells me James Lowe only became an Irish citizen today
Shameless
The guy has done an incredible job and getting under the skin of opposition. Irish seem to love him, but he doesn't have many fans who aren't paddies.
He is playing some pretty good rugby at the moment though.

Very entertaining matches
Lovely skills, great set plays
Tackling optional
I only saw the highlights, but yeah some of the tries were pretty soft. Am sure there was plenty of decent goal line defence throughout the game, but the teams didn't seem to have to work very hard to score when in 10 metres.
Or maybe I'm just accustomed to 6N rugby
Initially, I wondered why it's taken Wales so long to realise that he wasn't the right person for this time. No improvement to see anywhere.
Then I was just reading the live chat of the press conference. It turns out that Gatland raised to the WRU that he wasn't the right person, not vice versa.
Tells me that perhaps the Welsh fans who all seem to love him and say he's not the problem, may in actual fact have a point.
Couldn't agree more Dodge re the Smiths. Pundits seem unanimous that Fin is the way forwards and was the MOTM. I thought he did a decent job, but I know which Smith I got excited about every time he touched the ball.
I do wonder how much the idea that the flyhallf must be the goal kicker is engrained in UK punditry, as his off the tee was certainly poor.
Curry easily MOTM for me too.
@KiwiPie The second half was one of the best 45 mins Ive football I've seen in years.
Unlike other big United victories of late (FA cup last year), they didn't get dominated and then score on the bounce, they fully played their part in the game. I didn't think they had a snowballs chance in hell in competing with Liverpool, but they did that and more. I suspect if Maguire's goal had gone in, Zirkzee would have been offside. Still, best United have played in a long time.
@voodoo see the first 3 words of my last paragraph.
Think you are being way over the top with your critique myself. It’s not cool, but sheesh can’t look your family in the eye? Get a grip.
Top level cricket, especislly vs Aus at home, has always been top tier tough. Kohli looks pretty petulant here but that’s about it.

Who cares?
Clearly at least 4 people in this thread
Put the boot on the other foot: if this had happened to an Indian player it would have been burnt effigies and protests and claims of racism.
As it is, we just think Kohli is being a petulant flog.
Did not expect to agree with all of your reply to this!
Chelsea are as good as City are mentally fragile.
Liverpool still in pole position although by the time they play next they could well be second (with two games in hand).
They for me are still the best team in the league tho.
Despite the win, United are still pretty poor. Amorim no magic touch so far.
@bayimports end of the game looked like a manager saying bye to the fans
Lawson has done an ok job. Not bad, but not clearly superior to Tsunoda.
I think he needs a full season in RB to show his stuff properly. He doesn’t look like Red Bull quality. Yet.
Rumour mill of Bottas to Red Bull has quieted down, I thought that made a lot of sense. So who knows, fingers crossed for him.
