Its also worth pointing out that Australia is part of the Commonwealth and that George Gregan is in fact from Zambia.[/quote]
His father is Australian and he moved to Australia when he was one. He is as Australian as Heaslip or O Gara are Irish

the man himslef is spot on, BODs caps are a combination of his oirish games and his british games

he has represented his country 131 times, significantly short than Gregans record

including his games playing friendlies for britain is a joke

Heaslip is a jew.

Brian Oā€™Driscoll has never represented his country in an international rugby match. His country is Eire. He has played 132 times for Ireland in rugby internationals, Ireland for rugby purposes being a combination team of Eire and the Northern Ireland part of the United Kingdom.

even worse, he has 0 caps

Ah thatā€™s lovely :clap:

Incorrect. To be classified as a cap, a match has to be sanctioned as a test international by the IRB. By way of example, when Ireland played Fiji in Thomond Park in November 2012, it wasnā€™t classified as a test international by the IRB so no caps were awarded. The afore mentioned 132 appearances for Ireland and 8 for the British Lions all had test international status bestowed on them by the IRB so Brian Oā€™Driscoll has 140 international caps and not 0.

You would be correct in saying though that Brian Oā€™Driscoll has played 0 times for his country.

@Sidney, please fuck off! :oops:

Agreed. The guy is a total fucking creep.

Even if you think Iā€™m a total creep you have to admit my invention of the Manuel Zelaya alter ego has been spectacularly successful. Itā€™s amazing I keep getting away with it considering how my previous attempts with GV Wright and McGeady1916 were scuppered so quickly.

If by ā€œgetting away with itā€ you mean ā€œpersisting with itā€ then yes, it is amazing.

If only you put half as much effort into trying to get a girlfriend.

In the words of Brendan Venter, Iā€™ll have to think very deeply about why I keep doing it, think very deeply indeed.

Perhaps I could invent one, seeing as Iā€™m so good at inventing alter egos here.

how will the game v the Frenchies go lads? Any chance they will beat Ireland out the gate?

None.

who will win?

Rugby football.

Bandage as foremost rugby mind on TFK your input is sadly missed in this thread I must say.

Ireland will win in Paris and will win the Championship.
