Re: Official Ire vs Italy thread
Only running at 50% and still in control.
Bit more calmness and concentration and we could pull away easily in the 2nd half

I'm not sure the reasons Horgan wasn't a good international 12 have changed. Did he ever play 12 again after the win over the Boks in '04?

In The Observer, Robshaw says he asked both Ford and Farrell if either of them fancied it. Neither did, which pretty much made the decision for him. But at this point, Robshaw's pretty much stuffed. If we'd have kicked and drawn, he'd have been butchered for taking the cowardly option. Because the ...

Re: Was not taking the draw the worst world cup decision eve
I remember reading a while back that taking the lineout option in this situation results in a try about 10% of the time. So even a very hard much is more likely to result in points being scored. Third big game in a row now that England have been clueless - the other two being the climax of each of t...

Thanks, we should hear back officially early next week.
The 2% cash back from BOI is a very tempting offer they have currently.
You're a first timer, aren't you? Approaching all the institutions or any in particular?
My only regret is we'll be leaving our BOSI tracker if we do move

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
All the banks are allowing exceptions on the 20% deposits for second-time buyers, particularly BOI.
We're currently looking at the possibility of moving and have been granted the exception on the deposit. Just remains to be seen how much the bank will lend us based on our earnings.
