a rugby, Irish, and philosophy podcast all in one?
you'll only get that on the 2nd row pod
And people might need that reminder about emotions later today
@biffthetick.bsky.social took something from it maybe you will aswell

Thanks. It's been a while since I was doing this. Id gotten used to hopping onto other people's podcasts and talking but felt it was time to go myself

Glad you took something from it! When you understand the base of Irish it helps understand Irish people and attitudes.

Hope you get a bit from the rugby aswell 😅

Challenging week for me, and I had an unexpected moment this morning hearing the Irish language described as

“You don’t feel an emotion you have it on you. It’s something that is on you for a moment and then will pass.”

The 2nd Row: come for the rugby, stick around for linguistics and therapy.

Sometimes it's better to say nothing

A LBP leaving Cardiff & it feels like a point stolen 80+ minutes to score a try
That was a poor performance unforced errors, lost the kicking/aerial battles, poor lineo & couldn't live with Cardiffs breakdown work
Will need a big improvement ahead of next week

Connacht down7-3
Its a scrappy match with no real flow
Connacht are losing the breakdown battle giving too many penalties away and have had to defend far too much
Need to hold onto the ball more in the 2nd half cut out the unforced errors

Leinster deserving of the lead. But the sharks play to a lot less than the sum of their parts

Scarlets deeply impacted by a storm 2 weeks in a row

Back to back unimpressive wins for Munster now so they'll be happy with results not performances

They defended Edinburgh well, but in attack feels like Munster are waiting for someone to create a moment instead of breaking a team down

He's been warned away so he won't be keeping that up in the 2nd half

Munster will be happy to be 2 points down, given they've played very little rugby and had little control of the game

Munster are eating up that one up carrying game. A lack of depth/deception from Edinburgh

Is there no shot clock in the stadium? Is Ben Whitehouse counting down the kicks?

One change to the named 15 for Connacht Rugbyfrom last week
Sean O'Brien comes in with Hurley-Langton on the bench as Boyle misses out

Cardiff will be tough opposition Connacht will need to be accurate & dominant at the breakdown + wary of the potential attack

The most surprising thing about this statement is that all these nations unions collaborated to put it together and sign it.
