Reduced to silence by rugby jargon​

Match was both educational and bamboozling

Letter of the Day (Irish Times)
Sir, – I recently attended my first international rugby match with my good friend and rugby aficionado, TQ. Early on, after a particularly vigorous passage of play which ended with several players in a recumbent pose, on top of the ball and each other, the referee blew his whistle. He did so while pointing his arm at a 45-degree angle parallel to the sideline. I inquired from TQ as to what might have transpired.

He explained, patiently, that following the Garryowen, while they were on the front foot, our man shot up causing a dog-leg, which led to their blindside finding our stand-off’s soft shoulder. The resulting broken space, however, was quickly covered by our tighthead, who, with the aid of two locks, held up the flanker, forming a maul, which was apparently favouring us.

However, that ended when the ball fell to the ground, leading of course to the ruck, which our outside centre decided to enter without using the gate. This led to the penalty, which was the right call in TQ’s opinion.

Needless to say, I remained silent for the rest of the match. - Yours, etc,

SÉAMUS Ó LOINGSIGH,
Rathmines,
Dublin 6.



The anecdote is reminiscent of the early days of this thread.. some superp rogbish there, but it could have done with a bit of military speak to complete the blitz

Known by the ghoys as Tarp because of the number of birds he's covered

Quinner to his step dad



I actually know one of these types who's old man calls him Double-D because his initials are D.D.

thats a black flag operation by the blockrock bugle.

no focking hope some lad just thrown it at the deepens came up with that after eighty minutes. i’d say the ghoys are poking a little fun at themselves safe in the knowledge that they fucked up in the six nations until now yet pull off (giggidy) an unexpected championship it’ll be all good.

Some solid rogbish from Matt Williams today -

"To achieve the mission of producing extended periods of dynamic, ball-in-hand rugby, players would need to master the knowledge of how to create extraordinary levels of mental strength."

However, to give him his due, he has a good one for all sports further on in the article, dismissing the notion that Scotland will be impacted by their failure to beat Ireland in Dublin for such a long time -

"Every match in a losing streak takes you one game closer to its end"
