Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby

More nimbyism. We now have a Artane resident threatening to take a JR of permission for one of Dublin's Bus Corridors, because as part of the works the current bus stop nearest to her will be moved. How this sort of nonsense is even allowed to get to a JR is beyond me.https://www.irishtimes.com/ire...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I thought Larmour did fine, all things considered. I expected Scotland to launch bombs down his throat all afternoon but they never really did. Any kicks that went near him were easily dealt with and he caught all of them. Sure, he didn't exactly attack the line when he fielded a kick but none of ou...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

What is the difference between corned beef and spiced beef? Spiced beef is what we'd go for in this part of Ireland (Munster). Corned beef is typically salted brisket. Spiced beef is literally that - a side of beef with spices rubbed into it and cured before being cooked. Corned beef is American sh...

Happy St Patrick's Day - Ireland's favorite Welshman! Quick question lads. I have American style corned beef in the crockpot and was going to do mash, but just read about Colcannon. Is that eaten much in Ireland or is it another US invention? If genuine, any decent recipes? Cheers - and congrats on...

15, 9, 10 and 1 Not worried about 15. Frawley was 4th choice (and nowhere near as bad as suggested) and Larmour 5th choice (again nowhere near as bad as suggested). When you're comparing Keenan to Frawley, of course it's stark. No different to any best in their position in the world compared to mos...
