The usual rules apply. Non-rugby talk here. Consider this a social place, but like a pub, things like religion and politics can be divisive, so don't say things here you wouldn't say to someone's face in the pub. Sober

The latest developments with Huawei and the US is mental. Google revoking their android licence, and the US government banning them from trading in the US.

Millions of people soon to be stuck with flagship devices they purchased less than a year ago (and in some cases a few weeks) that will effectively be outdated as soon as the latest version of Android is released and developers stop supporting previous versions of applications.

Also going to delay the majority of 5G rollouts in countries considering the main core of hardware to be used was supplied by Huawei.

A bit of a surprise with Vincent Kompany leaving Man city this morning

He wasn't the most subtle about moving on when interviewed after the Leicester game!

An outstanding servant to them and along with Silva and Agüero he has been the constant in this City rise the last 8 years

The goal v Leicester was the fairytale way to go out really

Sentiment aside though, he has clearly lost a yard of pace and has lived on the edge this year. Should have saw red for a horribly mistimed tackle on Salah in January. In truth they were never likely to fork out for a new 1 year contract for him to sit on the bench

Called it. Wouldn’t shock me if Limerick didn’t get out of Munster this year.

Yeah I fancied Cork myself, they were always going to be incredibly hungry after a sub-par showing last week.

I don't get the over-hyping of Limerick at all. You would think it was KK of the 00s that lost today

I was happy for them winning an AI last year but looking back they couldn't make a provincial final, just about beat a rebuilding KK side being carried by a half fit 30 year old, were second best for most of the Cork semi (who somehow threw it away) and came up against the worst Galway championship performance since 2014- yet were a few yards away from being taken to a replay.

An All Ireland is an All Ireland but looking at the above I find it very strange so many have them on such a pedestal this year. I suppose it was the same with Clare in 2013 people just tend to get very carried away in sport. You're as good as your last game and all that

Granted they were very convincing in the league but its a whole different ball game

I was at the game. Limerick were soundly beaten in the second half. Munster will be close again.

It’ll be tight alright. Limerick obviously aren’t as bad as they looked in second half today but don’t think they’re as good as people were making out before today either.

They need to win two out of three now with Waterford and Clare away. Home to a Tipp side who look like they’re massively improved. They should beat Waterford but they are surely going to give a performance at some stage and if a twenty point beating doesn’t inspire a backlash nothing will.

Has anyone listened to Michael Lewis "against the rules podcast"?

Think Limerick will get a bit of a land this year. Lot of people anointing them already forgetting that KK had them on the ropes last year and Cork collapsed against them in semi.

Fancy Cork to improve a lot and turn them over next week. Munster is such a dogfight that a loss would put them under pressure immediately.

Anyone tried the new Walkers wasabi and ginger crisps?

This has to be a coded advertisement for class A narcotics.

I hate the Eurovision. Have neighbours in, one of whom loves it so we put it on in the background. She really got stuck in. Madonna that is. Ballsy move.

Is there anything more annoying than the Americans shouting "in the hole" after every single shot Tiger hits?

There was a lad behind me in Newcastle who did it everytime Farrell made a kick at goal.

I wanted to shove his fleg up his hole. Increasingly so as the game went on

I haven't seen the new miniseries yet, is it any use?

The Chernobyl one? It's very good to be fair.

No idea about Das Boot

Since it was bought by Unilever back in the 90s yes.

On the 4th day God created the animals. And on the 5th day he created Clipper Organic Everyday Tea. It’s not Irish, it’s English but it’s available in Ireland and it’s hands down the Worlds best tea.

There's a James Hart discussion going on in the Ireland thread. I find this suggestion even more ridiculous.
