Hi there, welcome to Broken Play, aka my Saturday morning Substack scribbling, and since you’re here, if you haven’t already, please hit the subscribe button if you don’t mind.
It’s another week when I write this AFTER our feature match of the weekend has been played – thankfully this time it was a win for my team, a bonus point one to boot.
At halftime I was approached by Huw Griffin, aka “HG Rugby” who was over for his first visit to the Aviva Stadium. He asked me what I thought of the first half, I gave my honest opinion that the Scarlets impressed in the first quarter but Leinster eventually grew into it and that we really needed a strong 10m spell after the break. I guess he was impressed with this response…
To be clear I was professing expectations rather than predictions but thankfully the boys in blue didn’t let me down at least for that spell. It certainly wasn’t a perfect performance but myself and Rich Mifsud will go over all that for the wrap pod recording on Sunday evening.
I feel bad I wasn’t able to chat to Huw after the match for his account as he requested, but I had to leg it at fulltime, I definitely owe him an interview at some point.
Here’s what I was thinking before kickoff, courtesy of my Dublin South FM slot after the 5pm news on Friday…
What I’d like to focus on this week is a disgusting post I saw on Facebook, sadly by another one of my fellow online creators.
