What?! No Covid Suzie strain?! I guess I'll have to resort to blaming the ref. Again.

When and why did Ireland switch from the national green to the priestly purple? Anyone know?

Might be some mashed purple potatoes on the menu?

Maybe it is colour coding from a Covid PCR test?
Edit: it appears to be influenced from Leicester and Ulster and is an away jersey thing

I can see why they chose purple, the red and blue wavelengths blur the eye and make the player look far bigger.than the players in green. Clever use of optics, Ireland!

Try Leinster (and I'll try not typing while thinking of a nice cheese sandwich).

Love the focus on all the kiwis singing the call

[Jailbreak7]

Codie looks up for it

[Victor Meldrew]

Oh for fuck's sake no.... Miles Harrison is commentating the game for Channel 4

[Jailbreak7]

He's still shit. Still can't forgive Sky for sending him to SA to commentate on the AB-Boks classic in 2013.
