Learning fun new things about Australia's plant life. Truly a continent that is committed to hostility.

So not quite the statement win we might have hoped for on return to the RDS, but perhaps some rustiness was inevitable with so many playing their first rugby of the season. Hopefully we're warmed up for Clermont next week. #LEIvCAR

Line-out in particular a mess, and I'm not sure why we asked Sheehan to play 70+ with Kelleher on the bench. Some good moments in fairness, and I thought Prendergast, Keenan, McCarthy and JOB in particular played well. Coffey had a few rough moments but broadly impressed. #LEIvCAR

A comfortable-looking 5 point win in the end but tbh scoreline doesn't really reflect how much hard work we made of everything after the first quarter really. Very flat in the second half in particular, and only some good defence and Cardiff wastefulness kept this from being a lot closer. #LEIvCAR

Was just saying that before he went off. Don't know we were asking him to do 70, particularly when it's Kelleher on the bench.

Our lineout has been extraordinarily bad this half. #LEIvCAR

62% territory for Cardiff is telling. They'll be frustrated they've not done more with it. #LEIvCAR

Hugo Gordon @hugogordon.bsky.social · 7h

We've really threatened very little in this half. Feels like Cardiff are having to defend very little, and we're handing it back to them far too easily on our rare forays into their half. #LEIvCAR

Good game from Coffey today. Another young player who's put his hand up these last few weeks. #LEIvCAR

Hugo Gordon @hugogordon.bsky.social · 8h

Our goalline defence has been really good in fairness but if Cardiff had taken a couple of these chances they've left begging we'd potentially be in trouble. #LEIvCAR

Hugo Gordon @hugogordon.bsky.social · 8h

Nice finish to the half after having stalled out a bit in that second quarter. We're having some joy on that left wing in particular, but definitely more than a few traces of ring rust in some of our play. #LEIvCAR

Hugo Gordon @hugogordon.bsky.social · 8h

Cardiff just grown back into this the last few minutes. A little bit of complacency from us, a little bit ramshackle. #LEIvCAR

Hugo Gordon @hugogordon.bsky.social · 8h

And we're doing this despite Sam Prendergast looking like he's never actually tried this goalkicking lark before. #LEIvCAR

Hugo Gordon @hugogordon.bsky.social · 9h

Fun start. Some lovely interplay over on the left wing so far. Oliver Coffey has had a lively first 10 minutes. Tall for a scrumhalf, more of a Doak than a JGP or Casey. #LEIvCAR

Not sure he even touched the ball in the first half, grew into it much more in the second.

Ulster getting out of that with 3 points is an unbelievable heist. Absolutely dreadful for the first hour. Bench made a big impact. Munster will wonder how on earth they let that happen. #ULSvMUN

It is HILARIOUS that they're somehow still within a score.

Ulster playing like the Barbarians, in that they look like they've never played together as a squad before and spent most of last night drinking.

In fairness, early days on Casper and Carbery's ability to cover 10 and 15 is very valuable with Frawley leaving. It's a decent enough signing if he stays fit but that's a big "if".

Hugo Gordon @hugogordon.bsky.social · 13h

So far at least it's also more tense than it is truly scary, although it's admittedly early days.

Initial thoughts: atmospheric, certainly looks gorgeous, love how it captures the feel of a certain kind of ageing British town (the phone booths, the electric metres, the guide dog donation statues). Finding the stealth mechanics (and the less than generous checkpoints) a little frustrating however

Most of the characters in Bojack are at least intermittently awful, so an appreciation post for Judah and Guy

I will also say McDonagh's weird obsession with dwarves and the word "retard" is becoming an increasingly offputting recurring feature of his work.

Hugo Gordon @hugogordon.bsky.social · 15h

I will say, there are not enough films about the truly evil shit the Americans got up to in Latin America generally and Chile specifically, so I appreciate Wild Horse 9 for that.

Hugo Gordon @hugogordon.bsky.social · 15h

20) Wild Horse Nine A very Martin McDonagh film, for better or worse. Well-acted, occasionally funny, a bit over-familiar and doesn't entirely hang together successfully. Not as good as In Bruges and Banshees, better than Three Billboards and Seven Psychopaths.

My firm belief is that, much like the internet, the companies that emerge as the big winners of AI will not be the companies currently driving the sector, but the ones who pick through the ruins of those companies later

His apparently sincere belief that he deserves (and is being robbed of) the Nobel Peace Prize, alongside his repeated claims that he personally stopped all these conflicts (many of which are literally still ongoing), are among his weirder quirks.

Frustrating half from Connacht. Had plenty of ball but attack hasn't been particularly incisive, and scrum and penalty count a concern. But the biggest problem is the maul D. Glasgow are eating them alive in the maul. #GLAvCON

Honestly not sure exactly what it was, did seem to get called against Illo though

Connacht discipline and set piece becoming a liability. They're just letting Glasgow back into this. #GLAvCON

Likewise seeing him at one of his acoustic shows down in London next week, very excited

Been all Connacht so far but Glasgow's defence in the 22 has been solid. #GLAvCON

Catholicism occupies a Schrodinger's religion position for the American right, where it is real when it agrees with insane RW thought (SCOTUS!) and literally un-Christian otherwise

In the dreaded "no further update" section of the Leinster injury list, alongside an ominously long list of key players. I'd say we won't see him for a while.
