BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Last season I was genuinely concerned about the number of head knocks & concussions that Michael Lowry got! We're in 1 game in & he's ruled out with concussion 😔 He took a real knock in 1 of the friendlies too ☹️ Gutted about King too as I think he's been really good! 110
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Fair play to the Wallabies 👏👏 I was actually really enjoying the game, & then came the utter chaos of the last 20 mins! They did bloody well for being 4 men down!! 030
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 20/09/2026What a morning - streets blocked off by police & armed response kicking in the doors of the Airbnb 4 doors down 👀😮 440
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 12/09/2026This game is the 1st time I've ever looked at Cody Taylor & though phwoah! 😍 Is that wrong 😅 2110
Reposted by BelfastCraftyNick Pettigrew @nick-pettigrew.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry. 343107784
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 06/09/2026You know how I went to a spa on Wednesday - this is how my legs look days later 🤣 I can only imagine it's because I'm so short & must've whacked them climbing in & out of the ice bath 😅 050
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 05/09/2026The Argentinian fans are so hostile it's obnoxious! Hope the Wallabies stuff them. 010
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I cannot emphasise enough what an incredible game of rugby that was 🙌👏 Absolutely world class! & 1 of the best I've watched in such a long time! Anyeay, enough about my Ulster beating Edinburgh in the friendly last night, that SA v NZL game was alright too 😉 061
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 05/09/2026The tide seems to be turning... & OVER THEY GO!!! 🙌 15 minutes left! I don't know how fans of either side aren't on ventilation 😅 #RSAvNZL 030
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Kolbe out 😭 I thought I was watching this as a neutral but with the yelling Ive done in this 1st 25 mins I'm clearly a Bokke supporter for the day!! Anyone not actually watching this game is seriously missing out! 020
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I bloody love Siya & the passion he has 🙌 This is like a bonus world cup final!! Tough to call on this one - I do think the Springboks will edge it, just. Bring on some incredible rugby!! 🙌 120

BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Ooh my god - I went for a 2 hour spa today! By myself! & My son not attached to me 😅 I'm like a new woman!! Just need the new man to go with it (although I ended up in the hot tub with a man so alike my ex husband that I had to ask him his name 🫣😂) Pic - the ice bath, my new favourite!! 020
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Drove up from Belfast to Derry on Thursday to take Luke to the sensory centre as a wee treat. I was a day early 🙈 So ended up at the Roe Valley for 2 nights to make it up to him 🤦😂 030
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I was absolutely obsessed with Michael Schumacher! I still supported Ferrari after he left but F1 was never the same for me. Last year was the 1st in 30+ years I chose to support another team over Ferrari 😞 Next race though I'll be 100% Tifosi again 🙌 110
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I love that theyve gone for a Lions player as POTM! He was fantastic too 👏 I loved the passion & pride from the Lions (pardon the pun) in the URC & seems that's certainly continuing on! PLUS THEY SELL JUGS OF BEER 🙌 042
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Who knew that the Lions v NZ would be the most enjoyable to watch of the 4 club games! I hope they can keep it up for the next 40 🤞 110
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I actually really like these baseball style jackets of the Lions! 160
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Interesting line up BBC Sport have up. Not sure how Ox Niche will do at full back 👀😂 200
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Yesterday my wee mini torture turned 14 🥰 Can't plan much these days with his kidneys, so I just took us for a night glamping & discovered Gortin Glen 😍 & Then smashed my rib on a water slide 🤦😂😂 0130
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Might be some unusual calls but this is a cracking game as a neutral!! Plus I get to listen to 2/3 of my favourite SA podcast in Shimmy & Schalk 😊 #BULvNZL 000
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I LOVE the Haka anyway so don't care what anyone says, but Ma'a Nonu returning the Haka to the All Black's alone, while on the opposing team, was special!! 021

BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Looks like the new Leinster coach has been announced early 😅 For us hes going to be coaching the pathway coaches & I can't see how that could be anything but positive 😊🤞 020

BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I know players & fans were angry but surely this isn't acceptable? Being surrounded & physical contact from players, needing escorted out for safety, threats made, items thrown & fans yelling some of the worst spanish swear words at him! Mac Hansen got a ban for ranting about a ref! 280
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I think I'm actually more gutted for Fiji to not at least get the 4 try bonus point than I am over our loss 😭 120
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 18/07/2026He redeemed himself a bit by that pass & a very good conversion! Stand by the rest though 😅 110
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I've bitten my tongue for 50 mins & I know he's far from the only 1 playing shite (plus I try not add to the hate) - But Prendergast has been so poor today 😩 & Clearly decided tackling wasnt going to be his thing today either 😭 320
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Out of curiosity - what Irish players do you think have played ok so far? 200

BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 16/07/2026As a rugby fan, scenes like these from Derry City v Sofia game are nuts! We don't even have home & away sections at rugby stadiums, they suggested it recently & we were all horrified 😅 We all stand/sit together & we all drink together - it's 1 of my favourite parts 😁🍺 160
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 16/07/2026This makes me so angry! & I've read some of the things on that "concerned parents..." page 😤 & sadly they won't take the time to read the true version as fear mongering takes less time! 😔 031
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Ooh did Argentina beat England in the football? I wonder will Argentina beat England in the Rugby this weekend too 🤭😅 350
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 14/07/2026We've actually had a lovely few unplanned days over the 12th exodus! Yesterday was our own version of Inishowen 100 - it was beautiful 😍 & Yes we went through Muff 😅 130
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Only full game I saw today was Jap v Ire as we were doing our annual 12th evacuation. Which is probably just as well as I'm completely clueless. Next week im genuinely going to reply as a male profile to see if any responses I get differ 4120
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Someone fell off a bonfire today & died. Not for the 1st year. Some actually were shocked. And yet they keep building them higher & higher, trying to out-do each other 🤦 021
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Phew. JAP 20 - 36 IRE Excellent debut for Jansen! JOB is much better on right wing. Our line outs are awful! Frawley wasn't good - wonder how he would've been with JGP? Osborne not great 1st half. Very proud of my Ulster boys! Tadhg Beirne may not be human!! 020
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 11/07/2026The irony of a "There's no place like home" billboard behind the posts, when Japan have had to travel for this "home" game 😶 170
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 11/07/2026With 8 Ulster players in the 23 & 4 new caps, I'm watching this game with a closer eye than usual Wasn't expecting us to be 7-0 down after 5 mins 🫣😂 030
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Wallabies winger Dylan Pietsch designed the indigenous shirt that they are playing in today, & wore in at least 1 Lions game 😊 He's only the 15th Indigenous player to become a Wallaby (only learnt that yesterday!) #AUSvFRA 270
BelfastCrafty @craftynick.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I watched the 1st half of the NZ v ITA game - really loved watching Italy sticking it to the All Blacks 👏 I knew better than to watch the 2nd half. I was right 🙈 47-17 020
