The Official Irish Rugby Thread

[Bogbunny]

Dreadful from the welsh reporting Poite
Makes it almost impossible to see him involved with any of their games again

Jared Payne thinks Poite isn't all that

[Bogbunny]

Jebus, I would love to see Irish forwards and backs running onto the ball at speed.

Are we the only international side that doesn't attempt this??

attn: Zappa,

I need to check out of here after many years of posting - can you do the needful please?

Special mention to the likes of Mullet, ER, DP, Cammy, stats, TSG et al ..... some great discussions and always plenty of humour on this and the Nama thread.

I might lurk in the background in the future, but given that many on here would already know who I am in the real world, and a few others on here lack the discretion not to reveal personal details, its better than I depart.

I'm involved in a new venture that's increasingly attracting media attention, and I'd rather not face the risk of cross-over or blowback from here to there.

Mullet has my email if I ever need to be called back here to give evidence or clear my name

I'll post this on the NAMA thread too for completeness

See ya lads - Happy Christmas to all ..... I've really enjoyed the craic.

Half of the time you were a half decent poster, all the best.


Let us know how you are getting on, obviously when it is appropriate to do so.

[lorcanoworms]

Yeah well Longford's a kip, sniff.

[shabadoo]

They're shitting their pants over a tackle Daly made on their winger (I think?)

It was probably a penalty/card in the current soft interpretations, but a perfect/hard tackle imo.

Only saw it now but it was a stonewall yellow and I wouldn't be shocked to have seen a red with the current interpretations.

Did they not even get a penalty for it? That's mental

All the best in your new lead exotic dancer role, I always knew you could make it.

[Jim Lahey]

Match day.
Hard to muster up much interest in this one.

[lemonhead]

Sunday afternoon kickoff, we'll all still watch it.

But tbh more interested in the team annoucement for tomorrow. Quins & Clermont on half century away wins and lads need gametime. Roll on the real 6Ns.

[Mr. Very Popular]

MUNSTER: Matt Gallagher; Calvin Nash, Dan Goggin, Damian de Allende, Darren Sweetnam; JJ Hanrahan, Nick McCarthy; Josh Wycherley, Rhys Marshall, Stephen Archer; Fineen Wycherley, Billy Holland (Capt); Jack O’Donoghue, Chris Cloete, Gavin Coombes.

Replacements: Diarmuid Barron, Liam O’Connor, Keynan Knox, Thomas Ahern, Jack Daly, Craig Casey, Ben Healy, Seán French.

Great to see the bench loaded with young lads, a step in the right direction.

Liking the look of that centre partnership. Potentially first choice.

[Ulsters Red Hand]

Good Ulster team but still only 9/23 local lads

Hopefully Sexton gets a run out

Farrell and DDA is 100% the first choice centre partnership.

Brain fart and had forgotten Farrell.

[Mullet 2]

Could do with Stockdale using this to get back some mojo

[Ulsters Red Hand]

Thats what he did against Italy and it worked out really well

[El Homerino]

Hopefully McCloskey has a big game. With not many line breakers in our team, he is exactly what we need if we are going to employ the current tactics with a lightweight pack. Henshaw and Aki can truck it up but rarely make yards or offload.

He may have a good game but his hands are no where near good enough for international level imo

[Salanya]

Are we holding a match chat on here?

That Georgian anthem is a scarier version of a Welsh male voice choir rendition.

[Mullet 2]

Irish side playing at home and some over paid bright spark cúnt in the marketing department has us wearing a fúcking black celtic jersey.

And the worst recording of Irelands Call in history

[nardol]

Im sorry but someone in the irfu needs to be sacked for that irelands call bullshit

[HighKingLeinster]

[danny_fitz]

Georgia definitely win the 'beard off'

[Ulsters Red Hand]

Im sorry but someone in the irfu needs to be sacked for that irelands call bullshit

And that kit

[Salanya]

George Hamilton commentating on RTE

It's on Channel 4 in the UK. Best and Corbisiero in the studio, Kearney and Stringer in the stadium.
Not exciting, but not offensive either.

Talking about offensive: that kit

Inspired by Packi Bonners 1990 World Cup kit

[HighKingLeinster]

Stuarts tits for hands on show early today

[Jumper]

Poor start by Bealham.

[lemonhead]

Why in the name of Christ are we dead set on kicking attacking ball away?

Give it a few phases FFS.

[Jumper]

Brilliant by Farrell. He is so so good at that pass.

[Mr. Very Popular]

Hands by Farrell

[Ulsters Red Hand]

King Billy

[lemonhead]

Nicely done.

Liking their SH playing on after

[Winnie]

Try made in ulster

[Jumper]

Flannery slaughtering Stringer on Channel 4.

[diarm]

Try made in ulster

You lot are bloody shameless. Try scored by an Englishman and made by a fella who barely knew what a rugby ball was until he got out of dodge.

[MrJonno]

Anyone got a decent link?
