Can Ireland still trust in BOD?
I don’t want to say too much because I always get a bit paranoid about jinxing our chances but I’m definitely pretty excited (where by pretty excited I mean super-psyched) about the Six Nations this year.
I think the schedule is good for us and although I don’t agree with leaving out Eoin Reddan I think the rest of the team for our opener is the right one and without a doubt BOD should be our captain.
Also interested to see how Bergamasco gets on at scrum half…
Stoats are fucking mental.

Being out in the snow reminded me of what I remember being the second scariest thing I watched as a child (the scariest being when that woman in Superman III gets turned into a cyborg) but annoyingly I can’t find it anywhere on the tinterweb.
It’s from the 1983 animated adaptation of the Wind in the Willows and it’s the bit when Moly goes into the Wild Wood to meet Badger and it’s all dark and snowy and the weasels are in the shadows and the music’s crazy scary and then he trips over Badger’s door-scraper.
Given that the Superman III cyborg is nowhere near as scary as I remember I imagine that the Wild Woods aren’t either but it definitely used to freak me out.
On a related note if anyone fancies reading the Wind in the Willows it’s online here.
Everything was very still now. The dusk advanced on him steadily, rapidly, gathering in behind and before; and the light seemed to be draining away like flood-water.
Then the faces began.
Weasels are scary.
Well the proper snow finally hit the Midlands which meant that school was cancelled! Somewhat miraculously my snowboard trousers still fit me so i finished off my Banoffee Pie for breakfast, got wrapped up and went for a wander around Kenilworth in the snow:
