I have had Shane Williams tweet me to say that Ref is the hardest of all the positions.

I have asked him who he thinks the greatest winger of all time is now! What do you think he will say?

by Adam D Thu 12 May 2011, 11:12 am

Just to keep you updated, James Haskell tweeted me earlier after I had sent him the greatest ever Flanker poll.

He hasnt given me his answer yet though.

Hobo, I mentioned it in the pub last night but in case you missed it it's probably worth asking @jedthian for a re-tweet. The Jedi runs the Alternate Rugby Commentary and will be on the BBC's red button coverage of Wales vs Baabaas.

and the Richie McCaw facts

by Adam D Wed 01 Jun 2011, 10:20 am

Cheers Kiwi thumbsup

Just followed him and will ask him to RT our discussion thread on the Baabaas game

EDIT - I will wait until the Wales squad is announced and posted on here!

Here’s are some rugby players who seem to be addicted to twitter (can’t access twitter in work so can’t give you their usernames).

Cian Healy, Jamie Heaslip, Cory Jane, James O’Connor, Quade Cooper. Also, Rory McElroy loves Ulster rugby, if you asked him to retweet an article about Ulster it would go to a lot of people.

by Adam D Wed 01 Jun 2011, 10:37 am

Thanks for those Mickado - I was already following Quade (havent got a peep out of him though).

Now following the others but cant seem to find Rory McElroy

by Davie Wed 01 Jun 2011, 10:39 am

It's McIlroy, that's why

@McIlroyRory

by Mickado Wed 01 Jun 2011, 10:42 am

don’t blame me. Blame the Cupertino effect. (that was auto correct!)

by Cari Wed 01 Jun 2011, 10:43 am

Tommy Bowe's always on Twitter too but I'm not so I don't know what his address is.

by Guest Wed 01 Jun 2011, 10:44 am

a load of Scarlets palyers like John Davies, Rhys Priestland, Josh Turnbull are always on twitter, but can't log in to give you their twitter account names sorry!

@McIlroyRory

Its funny when I was looking for him, I thought that Rory McElroy is very similar to Rory McIlroy! I thought they were different people and that the suggestion was a rugby player!

by Dave. Wed 01 Jun 2011, 10:47 am

I think we tried McIlroy before and he didn't reply.

by Cari Wed 01 Jun 2011, 10:48 am

There's a few more O's players on Twitter too....they're probably following each other so once you get one (I notice Ian Gough) you might get the others.

but he didnt get the magic Hobo tweets Wink

I have a load of Ospreys guys already - thanks for the tips.

Try sending McIlroy Notch's Ulster end of season review maybe https://www.606v2.com/t5936-the-ravenhill-review-year-4

by Dave. Wed 01 Jun 2011, 10:50 am

That said, I've met a close friend of his twice in student halls, shall I ask her for a RT? Good call on the season review.

I once met the sister of a man who cut Paul Burrills hair, who buttled for Lady Di.

just to let you all know about recent twitter activity:

Cardiff Blues official twitter mentioned our thread on Henson going there.
Ulster mentioned our thread on the Ulster review - twice!
A team mate of Marcel Garvey tweeted the Q&A
Jedthian posted a mention of the match thread for the Baabaa game

Thanks for all of your suggestions

All of them had links to our site.

According to Donnacha O'Callaghan, Twitter has ruined the tradition of the team bus:

"They've ruined the team bus. Before we would have stories and songs or we'd make fellas who had a fight kiss and make up. Now everyone is just busy tweeting and there are no chats on the bus any more. Players just tell me I'm not handy enough to use Twitter which is probably the case. Tommy Bowe is a disaster but at least he's got a bit of wit. There was a 24 hour Twitter ban after the Scotland match and I was like 'Can we drag it out longer please?'.."
