The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I played for Sundays well and I went to Crioist Ri and Douglas Comm. It's not all Blackrock College

Lol, get a load of this dirty suck here la

It's a left over from when the six nations was the 4 nations, been used as a term for beating the other 4 original participants for over 125 years.

Same way there isn't a separate trophy for a Grand Slam, nor a spoon for the Wooden Spoon...

Id say they should have left it as just a term m8.

Just looked there. France has been involved since 1910.

Nobody in the world would have had us beating England at Twickenham this year. Nevermind thrashing them.

I'd love to see us play South Africa in a month. Just to see how different a performance it'd be to November. Who knows, it could be the same, but I'd use that as a benchmark.

I'm delighted that I got in early for Munster v Ulster and got great seats. Hopefully big Stu and Bobby Bal are playing for Ulster, as those lads were unbelievable for Ireland in this 6N.

Better benchmark will be at the RWC when we're competing with teams who are aiming to peak at that time

Yes, triple crowns are great and all.

A 6N championship is even better but until an Irish team does it at the world cup there will be something missing in Irish Rugby

Which is a statement I never thought I'd hear growing up but now new expectations have been set and that's a good thing.

Yeah, if you grew up playing for a club in Cork, then you almost certainly didn't go to a rugby school. There's exceptions but they're rare.

Indeed, too young to remember the early 80s team, Ireland didn't even win the triple crown for almost 20 years between 1985 and 2004.

Won it 9 times since then, which is a sign of just how much rugby has changed.
