It's the demographics. Younger folk don't have an attachment to empire, war, royalty, and probably look at Westminster and the House of Lords with no idea of what's going on. Probably see past the subsidy junkie shite and realise it's best to be self governing.
Yup. Like a proper country

Watching the U-20’s on RTÉ it’s Ireland 47 - Scotland 0 at half time !
what’s going on with underage teams ? Ireland look like monsters beside them.
Finished 82-7 in the end. Scottish No4 got a red with 10 minutes to go.
Tbh. Scotland got a victory over Wales in this competition. I think the difference is due to the Irish set up, they are churning talent through the academies, particularly the Leinster one. We and other nations are nowhere near this. Irelands rugby future is tremendous and they will be at the very pinnacle of the game for some time.

And when in Qatar he made a statement before the opening game criticising their human rights record... the BBC were happy for him to make a political statement then, because it wasn't the opposite if Tory policy.
Fair point

Gary completely correct in what he said about Braverman.
But he was quite happy to take the coin in Qatar.

Hewitt was fucking world number 1 two years before this. Look how weak he looks against 2004 Federer. Made to look like a wee boy. Backs up my point about how weak 2001-2003 was in tennis.
And Tim still couldn't do it.

Ireland in Rugby WCs

Edinburgh game quite depressing to be honest. Considering its within International window that was a very strong team at home against a Leinster 2nd string. They should be doing better.
Leinster are single handedly driving Irish rugby, its exceptional what they are doing.

I think mentally this group are tougher but obviously still prone to mistakes.
They are top ranked team for a reason, but they look significantly better with Sexton on the park. If we can keep the scoreboard close until he goes off about the hour mark we are in with a chance, but if we let them build any sort of lead they'll shut us down with their lying on the ball, slowing things down etc. Also we need to avoid any sort of arm wrestle up front, and keep the ball moving where possible - or go fully the opposite as they are probably planning on a quick game
You see, I'm not too sure about this and yet another figment of the Irish medias imagination.
Sextons stats in last 2 six nations have been a bit meh..., Hes playing with some great players, and dont think he's currently any better than Ross Byrne.
Irish still convinced we are talking ourselves up...

Think we will beat the Irish, if not, this tournament would have to go down as meh. A triple crown and a psychological blow to Ireland pre World cup would be tremendous.
If we want respect we simply have to win this.

If the great british public could vote for somebody to leave he would have been bounced at the first opportunity. Unfortunately people vote for contestants to stay, thats why utter nobodies will be punted first.It was so obvious that this would happen. The British voting public are quite possibly the most consistently gullible idiots in the world, epitomised by the state of our current government.
Matt was always going to seem awkwardly out of place on a reality show whilst trying his best to impress in trials and act like a human being, which can unfortunately come across as endearing to some people. If you look at any post about I’m A Celeb on social media, it’s clear that he has gained a lot of popularity amongst the viewership.
I remember a contestant called Helen winning Big Brother many moons ago after being a complete bully for the entirety of the series, before suddenly showing ‘remorse’ in the final couple of days and receiving votes on account of her ‘journey’. And let’s not forget Jim Davidson winning the Celeb version after putting on the most transparent act known to man. I have absolutely no faith that Matt Hancock won’t at least reach this year’s final of I’m A Celeb.0 -
When should we expect the answer from the supreme Court regarding the referendum powers?

No Scottish outfield starters in this Rangers side. Phenomenal local development from the newco

Utter minter behaviour from some Dundee posters last night, I'd expect some sore heads this morning.
Terrfic win and well deserved. If not for our makeshift defence it would have been an utter paddling.

Horrendous match thread by usual suspects continually blaming the ref.
Give it a rest guys, the ref was fair and we got beat by a superior team. We are quite a bit behind these guys, nothing to do with the ref.
