The #M6N is really great craic this year. Brilliant to see that Italy victory over a lackluster England. I missed the Scotland game earlier but, like, incredible to put that score against that French side. And who knows what will happen next weekend?! I'm not much of a sports guy but...yay sport!
This is a really interesting thread that's worth a read.
I am very much enjoying this game. Wales are really playing with heart -- that try from Rhys Carré! I reckon Ireland have the legs to see it out in the end but great stuff from Wales in Dublin tonight. Bit hits, line speed, energy...a real test match.

Very very much looking forward to this.
On BBC Thinking Allowed, our trustee Les Back joins Imogen Tyler to discuss the status of overarching theoretical frameworks in contemporary sociology and the "gendered character" of theory itself.

In this powerful new article, Gazan scholars—including my PhD student Saga Hamdan—reflect on how the concept of resilience has become a burden that obscures the reality of colonial violence. A must-read for those engaging with Palestine in academia: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Now they are calling for their own #socialtheory. Agents of the world unite...

Agents doing their own #socialtheory on themselves over on moltbook. Maybe they won't replace us just yet...or is that what they want us to think?

A bit of character from Ireland in the second half but they look way off the pace tonight. Outplayed in almost every aspect of the game. The inability to change course when the kicking game wasn't working, that lack of adaptability and nous, is worrying.
#FraVIre
100%. That first half was the very definition of madness (i.e. doing the same thing and expecting different results).
Ireland insisting in kicking their own momentum away.
#FraVIre
Yes! Better. Du Pont should have been binned there, and Ireland seem to be making every wrong decision. But this is a big better from Ireland. Can they uncurse themsevles?
#FraVIre
This is some lovely stuff from France...in fairness.
#FraVIre
Men against boys at the minute. Irish lads need to do some breath work or something.

Fucking cursed I said.
