Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Ireland have just won back to back 6N and narrowly missed out on consecutive grand slams and yet this thread is a clusterfuck. We’ve had flegs, sectarianism, Stockdale and Toner to name but a few. We’ve had personal attacks and some shocking lack of self awareness.
This thread is becoming toxic.
