It's never happened. The medics are grown men, even getting smashed by a player won't cause any lasting damage and the players avoid them.

I really hoped you have something about the Six Nations today because it was one of the craziest things in sports history!

Lawes is trained to run for more than 6 seconds at a time.

I wouldn't pour a "Black and Tan" for St. Patrick's Day under any circumstances, and certainly not in any place with serious Irish heritage (Boston, New York...)

horror? I know this is happening a long way from you chaps in the USA, but it's on our doorstep. We (hullo, here's me speaking for half a billion Europeans,...) are horrified. Truly horrified. This is on our news daily. Most of us have family, colleagues or friends from Nigeria. It is... Just horrendous.

Let me say this first. That doesn't make it right. In fact it's wrong as hell that the massacre of possible an entire town gets below the fold coverage.

Living in Ireland, I can tell you with absolute certainty that the vast majority of people want this woman to be put to rest, including the religious people, who aren't nearly as fundamentalist as their counterparts in the the USA.

Ya because the bible is so much more credible than Wikipedia

The incident has drawn some attention to a writer I had never heard of previously. Perhaps she will get some new readers, so it could turn out positively for her.

I think it's disgusting anyone has to raise money to have medical bills covered! Sorry, Brit here, cannot get my head around it. Long live the NHS.

I genuinely don't understand how a society can call itself civilised when it allows people to die for lack of money, when treatment depends on wealth and victims of crime are left to struggle with the consequences by themselves.

NI is the UK though. Abortion on demand's been legal there for decades.

I agree also you can blame people in the US for sending money to anti-abortion groups.

And it caused outrage in Ireland and laws were changed, it was not a huge change but at least they are not going backwards like the US.

More people in Ireland support same-sex marriage than the US, so i hope that it will become legal in 2015.

Honestly, I started thinking about this the last time I was home and it broke my heart. I moved like 1000 miles from home and thought I'd move back but then settling in, bought a condo and made a life for myself. I realized that I could potentially only see my Mom like 12 more times if I only went home once a year and…

MY BODY IS (and more accurately, my Moto X and my N5 are both) READY GOOGLE.

It's all about context. Not every person who dates their own race is racist, BUT there are a lot of people who have racial biases that affects their mate choosing

Sorry but I don't think its racist to only date people of your race. I'm a black woman and I only date black men, does that make me racist. Or is it just racist if someone that is non black only want to date within their race.

Given the very high decibel of the waambulance in this thread, I'm guessing I'm in the minority that thinks (no pun intended I double-dog, inky-pinky swear):
