    Tries scored is used after extra time in some rugby competitions I believe (or at least used to be).
    used in most amateur rugby competitions here and all age grade. Most tries, first try ruling. Continues down to first score and cards then as well

    Yup. I recall Shannon beating Clontarf in the AIL final on that basis.

    If I recall correctly, it's the tie breaker that's used before a drop goal shoot out.
    and it's part I'd tie breaker. Few more steps before shoot out in the few levels drop goal shoot out happens.

    Diarmuid Connolly back for the Dubs?

    5 in a row no bother. Someone is going to have to come up with a slogan for six.

    I'd be surprised if he gets a start for Dublin this year...or again. He might not even make the 26 on any day. After his ban in 2017, he didn't get into a starting side again.

    The lad is 32. Despite the fact that he's probably the most talented footballer in the country over the past decade, Dublin possibly don't need him. It's a crying shame because he deserves to go out at the top.

    I'd love to see him play in another AI final and score a crucial point. If he didn't come on in 2017, Dublin don't win that match. He's exceptionally gifted.

    Mayo looked lethargic. The quality isn't there compared to previous years and some of the younger players (Carr, McDonagh) didn't impose themselves but the schedule can't help. They will play five games in six weeks. It pays even more to win your province as the Super 8s schedule is grueling enough without having to come through the qualifiers.

    I was at the Dublin Cork game and while the scoreline didn't reflect the entire game Dublin were ruthlessly efficient. It's hard to see past five in a row bar a freak day out which can happen.

    But also a font! Well spotted Stephen and my sincere apologies to the forum for my Latin error, Switzerland being of course formerly known as Helvetia. So hard to find adequate posters these days, standards have slipped since I was a kid.

    Sorry as a former graphic designer I couldn’t resist the pun.

    Its a pity... but the lad needs to get a good psycologist to work with him, as he seems to have a big issue handling pressure at majors over the last 5 years

    So, the Lion King out today.

    I reckon the cinema will be full of kids in their 30s for the next few months!

    On the same Sunday where College Green will be open to pedestrians only in a trial, Pearse and Tara St dart stations are closed for renovations. Ideally those wouldn't overlap!

    Unless they were emergency repairs, makes absolutely no sense why they'd choose this weekend for renovations, considering it's the one weekend they want to try and get as many people as possible to use the public transport options

    It relates to ongoing renovation work on Pearse Station. It's nothing that couldn't have been moved by a week or so I'm sure.

    It's so dumb. No joined up planning at all.

    2 of the most lucrative films of all time are titanic and the lion king. I’ve seen both.

    He's playing absolutely stellar.

    Can't see Rory making the cut at all, they're predicting around 2 over and he hasn't motored on yet really with the first two getting par, a lot of ground to make up.

    I see Ryan Fox had a stinker today after a good day (and a great back 9) yesterday.
