    What a disgusting way to lose..

    15 point's up and cruising second half to lose it like that..

    A disgrace..

    The facts surrounding footballers heading the ball, will pale into significance when the results start coming out of rugby players who have had careers in the last 10/15 years imho. It’s just got * brutal, centre’s approaching 20 stone ffs, wingers over 6’4 as the norm and don’t forget all the silverbacks in the front row. Sadly the first of many to come I think.

    You’re right, wingers in the recent past were small and centre’s were usually medium, I love a good tackle whether in fitba or rugby but the collisions in rugby are brutal now. My partners mother was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s but she’s 82 and spent her working life in retail not colliding with 15-20 stones of muscle, at speed

    I'm surprised more cases haven't come out, but how many neurological conditions are going undiagnosed or people having issues in their 50s and people just thinking they are a silly old git.

    Wow what a treat that has been watching Ireland in New Zealand the past few weeks. Especially last weeks historic first ever away win in Dunedin. But to follow that up with such a dominant performance and actually beat the All Blacks in back to back games on their own turf and win the series today that was just incredible. Fully deserved too as we have without doubt been the better team.

    Stuart Hogg missing his first 2 tackles... and we're 2 scores down... with less than 10 mins played!

    Good hair though!

    By the way, shameful kicking the ball out in overtime.

    * horrific.

    Wouldn't wish or on my worst enemy.

    The guy is an inspiration how he managed the end of his life.
