1626878817217257472 | This is an INCREDIBLE article. Brittany Hogan is an incredible woman. If you read anything today, let it be this. Unfathomable bravery. @RuaidhriOC a great job as always and a very important piece. Thank you https://t.co/mRI3Mqs9QT | 7 |

1624429459209170949 | @RuaidhriOC Herring failed his HIA. So you can give someone a brain injury through terrible tackle technique and return to the field after 10mins. Nice one Barnes | 1 |

1624425406467129344 | @RuaidhriOC Apart from the referee! | 1 |
1627664374000148492 | @RuaidhriOC Scott Penny has played 10mins of ERC rugby in his career. He’s probably 3rd choice in each back row position at Leinster. John Hodnett has been excellent in the ERC and URC this and last season. 🤷♂️ | 1 |
1624424929255907333 | @ChrisCarney87 @RuaidhriOC It’s not a good try mate he jumped, touched the field with his food and grounded on the line … let alone the forward last pass .. outrageously wrong all the way but hey | 1 |

1624866644731346950 | It 33 this time round not 31 with thanks to @RuaidhriOC for pointing out and lessening the bloody point of the original tweet 😂😂😂I’m in Heathrow, it’s been a long day, im putting the phone down!!! | 63 |
1624470303299477506 | @RuaidhriOC Delighted for Ross Byrne.... I was a doubter but happy to be proved wrong. Bench were terrific today and massive praise for Andy Farrell for developing a winning culture.... A joy to watch. 💚🏈🇮🇪 | 62 |
1624422301570588674 | @RuaidhriOC Barnes looking for a reason NOT to carry out the rule that has been introduced to protect players from serious injury. A farcical decision. If that was not dangerous what is? | 50 |
1624467471720755201 | @RuaidhriOC Next up. Casey has to start for Ireland, fullstop. The tempo change when he came on, incredible. Against Italy, both Casey and Byrne need to start | 38 |

1624419608370245632 | @RuaidhriOC If that’s not red , then crikey | 29 |
1624457357810868226 | @ByCianaf @RuaidhriOC Organised the team. It’s as simple as that. When Carbery has come on in the past we have seen our attack become less fluid, in the last two games our attack has arguable become crisper with Byrne on the field. That’s my opinion anyway. Carbery not finished by any means though | 29 |
1624421532293267456 | @RuaidhriOC Barnes is consistently bad when it comes to late, high and dangerous tackles, especially against Ireland. Nevermind offside at the ruck | 28 |
1624420008376803328 | @RuaidhriOC Also it was clear the touch judge didn't agree with Barnes | 25 |
1624458078392401921 | @RuaidhriOC No position should ever be settled in the run up to a world cup, competition is healthy. Its great that 9 and 10 depth had been tested this tournament though. That said, Byrne was very good when he replaced Sexton. | 21 |
