Not sure where to put this but it tickled me earlier. Some of the choices for head facial expressions are gold. Can't find a non-facebook link, sadly.

Finally the day is here

Bulling I'm working and will miss the Ireland game but Sofascore will keep me informed

We need to win the game badly, it's one of the most daunting away trips in Rugby but we have one of the most in depth squads we've ever had and were on a high

Enjoy all chat later

Christ, this TV3 opening feels so heavily scripted.

Feeling confident that we are going to give good performance today. The slight issue of only 3 wins in Paris since the year I was born, keeps the optimism in check, but really it’s hard to see past an Irish win, got a feeling it won’t be pretty though.

I get the impression that a half time team talk from ROG would take about 3 hours...

Happy enough with Joe as a presenter, he seems a lot more in sync with his analysts than Daire who comes across as interrogative when questioning them. Other than that, the coverage is quite similar so far.

I'm happy with anyone as long as they are not Tom McGurk. The interviewers job is to ask intelligent and pertinent questions to elicit some relevant insight from the panel, then shut up and let them talk. McGurk was terrible at that, constantly interrupting with his next scripted question. Not quite Tubridy level of awfulness, but still pretty bad. Daire was a vast improvement on that.

Having said that, Joe Molloy is doing a good job so far.

That is not what I thought Joe Molloy looked like.

He's great so far though.

Daire O'B was sh1te, a presenter should let the panel talk and express their views, he was constantly stating his own and challenging them to contradict him. Joe Molloy is better but he's a bit too laid back, like he's on valium or something.

Joanne Cantwell is the best sports presenter in Ireland. This may be hyperbole!

No you don't and it's for very understandable reasons.

Joe Molly is brilliant on the radio and I reckon he will settle in soon enough.
I like Matt too. Feeling optimistic about the TV3 coverage this time, at least there is no Matt Cooper.

It isn't the anthem of all of our team.
