2014 Six Nations Thread - Come the Power & the Glory

Delighted to say I havenā€™t heard of a couple of the players in the squad. My complete withdrawal from rugby is almost complete.

I trust BODā€™s retirement will finally draw the veil?

This three year rule is laughable, what a joke of a game.

FAO of rugby football fans:

Would Toulon expect Sean Oā€™Brien to lose all the excess weight heā€™s carrying if they sign him?

Same question if Heaslip also joins them.

Unlikely, if this pudding can get away with it as a centre.

Am a bit surprised there is no place in the squad for your man who has been making headlines for Grenoble this season.

I see Sean Oā€™Brien was too fat to secure a contract with a French club.

He couldnā€™t get anyone to milk the cows during the week so his hands were tied.

Was nothing more than posturing to get a better deal. Like the time Rodge let the IRFU think he was off to the NFL as a kicker for the Dolphins or the Chargers or someone. Hopefully Heaslip fucks off though.

I just checked the calendar and in a bizarre coincidence Ireland are actually due to play France soon in a friendly. What a grudge match that will be now. Next thing you know Leinster will be drawn against a French club in next seasonā€™s European cup.

Heaslipā€™s card is marked now alright, take the offer or fuck off. Heā€™s currently one of the biggest earners anyway.

Disappointed that @Sidney hasnt posted on this thread yet.

With the omission of Zeebs Iā€™ve decided to support the chaps this year. With Scotland (H), Wales (H) and England away being the first three tests up, the fixture schedule suits the Irish and I think theyā€™ll come away with the big prize - the Triple Crown, on February 22nd.

The pressure will then be off and thatā€™ll mean Joe Schmidt will be able to throw fringe players into the fray for the final two essentially meaningless matches against Italy and France.

Who did we get in the group this year?

For someone whoā€™s finger is usually right on the pulse of Munster rugby Iā€™m surprised you donā€™t know this.

Iā€™d say even you could have predicted the group this year

The 6 nations is a great tournament-cop onto yourselves lads. Iā€™m particularly disappointed in you @Rocko -whatever gripes you have about rugby, a lot of which are valid, you canā€™t be churlish enough to call a tournament match a friendly. For shame, for shame.

Is this the rugby equivalent of carling international cup

No.

:rolleyes:
