Ireland are at a crossroads; how we react to this defeat — and, in reality, our decline against the best sides in the world since November 2024 — will define our 2027 and beyond. www.patreon.com/threeredking...

"In our last six games against New Zealand (x3), France (x2) and South Africa, we’ve lost by an average of 15 points. Those teams are the benchmark at the moment, and we’re two scores worse than them since the turn of the 2024/25 season." @threeredkings.bsky.social

The amount of yella kaaaards in this game is through the roof. Proper rugby.

At a basic level, we need more pace & physicality in the pack and backline, move to a split playmaker system (two #10s) rely less on the scripted pod play off set piece launches. Less narrowly defined roles and the value on ruck output with most of the 30+ crew in bench roles.

It's pretty wild that "Ireland could and should be better than this" is considered anti-Irish Rugby.

I feel like I'm going insane looking at this "Leinster Tax" discourse. IRFU changed a 100% subsidy to a 60% one.

There's something about three year old's sleep cycle that means a 20 minute nap at four o'clock means bed time pushes out by three hours. I thought it was a good idea at four, less good at half 11 reading the same dinosaur book six times in a row

If Lowe was on a 1+1 PONI deal, with the IRFU paying 40/50% of his wages during that period, then the +1 option part of that (2026/27) that the IRFU were paying but chose not to take up could, presumably, have been covered by Leinster? Is that right?

Social media allows everyone to exist in their own bubble, where you can convince yourself of absolutely anything, purely based on what you choose to read and what you assume is being said about everyone else.

I've started posting on Twitter again (I got a book deal, and 30k followers there was a big part of it, it is what it is) but one thing I've noticed in the last few months is that when you post outside of Twitter, you disappear from the conversation, whatever conversation that is.

After a good six months looking into replacing subscriptions like Spotify and Netflix with self-hosting, I can confirm that it's just not the hassle. Too expensive, too fiddly, I'd rather pay the money.

Best performance in a number of months on Saturday night. Physical, tactically coherent and efficient when it counted. Probably the first time since the game in Croke Park that we've looked like the sum of our parts or more.

Taken time to think since Wednesday. The hiring of Randle comes down to two things — facts vs optics. If you go with facts, there's no reason not to hire him. No trial, no proven allegations, no cross-examined evidence and innocence completely maintained over 30 years.

There's a very specific kind of YouTube kidslop made exclusively by eastern Europeans in heavily accented English while living in Dubai. Its like a nightmare mix of two hour long Eurovision skit mixed with watching the news on holiday.

A much, much better performance from Munster overall. Disappointing to lose it — unforced errors the big issue there — but Crowley and Casey drove so much of what we did well. Two points, a bit of pride back in the jersey at altitude, and a platform to work with. #SUAF

All Six Nations, Ireland have been excellent defending teams in the 22 on multiple phases. Scotland actually did better in this regard than most, but it cost them a lot to resource. Ireland had fewer rucks, a lower kick-to-pass ratio, and were more efficient. It took Scotland too much effort.

Statement performance from Crowley, in an excellent Irish performance. Scotland seemed to get their approach wrong here, again, and had no idea what pressures this Ireland team. Ireland stopped and slowed Scotland all day long in the carry, everything was slow and hard work.
