The Official Irish Rugby Thread

When I was young and naive Wales were getting the wooden spoon a bit and I said I feel sorry for them.

My auld fellah said never feel sorry for those langers.

I said why not?

He said you'll see when they start winning again.

He wasn't wrong.

Tbf at least the Welsh had a successful past, the Scots though, are wankers.

He was right those fuckers are worse than the Nazis

They're both a bunch of wankers.

Forever in thrall to the English.

I have always admired Wales since the days of JPR, had some huge peaks and troughs in the last 20 years. Welsh rugby akin to Munster while Leinster reminds me of England. I lived in Sth County Dublin for a number of years.

If I was to take a balanced view of Pretendergast, to be fair to him, he is better on the ball than Crowley and it pains me to admit it.
His aims and shots today were more or less spot on, he was faultless on the T.
Yes other than being less useful as a tackle bag around the actual pitch of course.

All Crowley has to do is to work on those specialist fly half roles and he should then easily become the better fly half between the 2 of them

Rugby has created some absolutely embarrassing nonsense around it's traditions and references. We're seeing it in spades with the Lions, then endless trophies for friendly matches, the stupid eulogising circus around the New Zealand team, you name it.

Through all that though, nothing will ever be worse than coming up with "Brave Blossoms" as the nickname for Japan.

I really do hope Crowley has been kicking the shit out of it this summer.. whether that also needs a bit of mind coaching alongside I don't mind but he has it in him to be great.

Same for Sam TBF, needs that coaching
