Finished The Pitt season one last night. Really enjoyed it and will start s2 tonight but it's only being released weekly at the minute.

Do you lads not like the smell of napalm in the morning?

I do watch it if it's on but I'd set it behind Platoon and Full Metal Jacket in my list of Vietnam war movies. I enjoy most of Apocalypse Now but I don't like the Marlon Brando scenes in it. I read Heart of Darkness many years ago so I can see where they were going with the Kurtz character but I just didn't like those scenes.

Or was it Deep Impact?
Deep Impact. Surely you have seen The Godfather(s) or Apocalypse Now?

Quote from: trueblue1234 on February 15, 2026, 10:11:06 PMLate to the party but just been ploughing through Yellowstone. First 3 series were excellent. Season 4 was bit of a slog. Started season 5 and not overwhelmed. Does it get any better?
No. What you have posted is the general concensus.

Quote from: johnnycool on February 15, 2026, 05:43:10 PMWales last few scrums caused France problems.

Something Ireland weren't close to doing.


They have some decent units in the front row. Ireland need to find some. Scrum will get ugly for Ireland this weekend I fear.

70+ more likely! Sounds more like a home match for France too.

GalthiƩ not shy about blooding young players.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on February 14, 2026, 06:28:08 PMThat was as forward as the one in the other game

Forward passes seems to be okay now.

I get the ball going slightly forwards if you are running and pass it back but holy Jesus, these aren't even close.


For me Prendergast had a mare, best that he sits Twickenham out but Crowley isn't pulling up trees either.

Any sign of Keenan?
Unlikely to see Keenan in 6N. He's having an unlucky run. When it gets to the Wales game Farrell would be as well sitting out Prendergast and start Crowley with Byrne on the bench for a 2nd half run out.

Quote from: bennydorano on February 14, 2026, 06:43:33 PMRead an article during the week in the UK Times about Scotland doing themselves a disservice by going all in v England every time and being shite the rest of the 6N. A lot of truth to it I suppose but I bet he's fuming
Let them at it every year! They'll beat Wales and are due to give Ireland a proper game.

Quote from: galwayman on February 14, 2026, 04:08:26 PMThought Italy were the better team for most of that game. Twickenham could be ugly.
They will get beaten by 30 points if they don't find a way to improve significantly. England will have serious options off the bench so it could get messy.

Are they the politicians we deserve? The US shows that an intellectual deficit is no barrier to serving in government.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on February 12, 2026, 06:54:40 PMYes he should, he bigger than most previous flyhalfs for Ireland.at about 6ft 2in, but a basic of rubgy is knowing how to tackle. The fact that its common knowledge he missed so many, means he actually invites more players to run down his channel trying to force breaks.
I think he's closer to 6'4" and he's about 95kg so he's not going to bully many boys off the ball but he should be able to make a tackle.
