Re: Late Bloomers: Oldest on Debut XV
Davy Tweed is the oldest player to ever debut for Ireland, the wife beating cúnt. Wasn't he the one who said something like he'd had the pleasure of playing for his country on many occasions, but had now played for Ireland too? "I've 30 caps for my country and 4 for Ireland" or something like that.

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Something funny about the NI situation compared to Ireland. We have 1329 cases and 7 deaths; that is 1 death for every 190 cases. NI 207 cases and 9 deaths; that is 1 death for every 23 cases. :shock: Serious questions : Is this as a result of not following through on testing all contacts, the late...

I don't know who Gav Casey is, but he is right.
The difficult bit is fitting Ferris, Heaslip, O'Brien and Wallace in the back row, and whether you think Horgan or Hickie play on the opposite wing to Bowe.
