The Official Irish Rugby Thread

[TheOutdoorThreadmill]

That paedophile davy tweed was one of the objectors. The supine IRFU bowed the knee.

Was he? I never heard that, he barely played with Ireland, he only has a few caps and by all accounts he was fairly shite. Can't see him calling the shots tbh

Lol Sir Johnny = pwned

To be fair, that was some load of shite, if i was Ricky I'd be brushing that whole performance under the carpet. Castlehaven would beat the pick of them

That was a major opportunity for Frawley and he was brutal.


Crowley nailed on starting ten for the 6n after that horror show.

 

[How bad boy]

The real turning point was when SF/IRA blew up the Judge and his wife and injuring three Irish/Ulster players in the process. Then the joke of the Rose of Tralee at the first WC

Don't forget the ban, which really didn't enamour the rugby community with republicanism.

The hostility to rugby didn't end with the ban, despite it being a major international sport with all island representation. You'd have thought republicans would have appreciated that but absolutely not.

Eng - Aus is a bit easier on the eye than last night's game.
Australia definitely starting to move in a better direction.
Ireland will need their shit together for them.

Suaali is standing out already.

Was at the game last night

The amount of noise for the Kiwi kicks was something else.

Dubs really are twats

That's as bad a performance from Ireland that I can remember over the last few years.
Mistakes everywhere, players, coaches, captain.
They found some amount of ways to get in their own ways.
Against a very very bang average NZ Team.

The subs killed the game too.

Can we now all agree that POM, Healy and Henderson can be sent away now?
We all know Healy needs another cap and he'll get it but let's see some new faces in the team across the next 3 games not just 7 new caps against Fiji.

These 3 lads should be nowhere near the squad for the fiji game and id even argue the argentina and Australia games but we'll be lucky to get 2-3 new caps given out in the next 3 weekends. Meanwhile the aussies pick a lad who had never played a professional game of Union

And NZ's best player over their 2 games is they young fella Sotiti in the back row.

The next 3 games won't be as easy as first thought.

New Aussie captain Harry Wilson is a real diamond.
