Another bizarre post with no correlation or structure in the context of the debate. Is it too much to ask you, for once, to stay on point?

Eddie Jones is one of rugby footballs good guys.

The pendulum is swinging to Brexit nations dominating the Lions.

After a great decade of success for Irish rugby, the back to back championship wins in 2014 and 2015, the Grand Slam win of 2009 and five European Cups for Munster and Leinster, it was inevitable that Ireland would at same stage enter the period of transition they are in now. All sports are cyclical. The structures are sound and Ireland will come again.

@Nembo_Kid

Bizarre logic from the man who cites the likes of Cavan, Offaly and Roscommon as big names in modern day GAA big names despite the fact they’ve done fuck all in the past 30 odd years. You are a dinosaur so thugby is suited to you.

@GeoffreyBoycott

You really need to take a break after all the clampings I have dished out to you of late. Your rantings are getting more and more bizarre. I stated in a gaelic football discussion last summer that of the 19 counties that have won the All Ireland football championship, Cavan, Offaly and Roscommon are the only three counties with populations of less than 100,000 to have done so. All that’s old tradition now as the last win for Offaly was in 1982, Cavan in 1952 and Roscommon in 1944. We’re talking about the Ireland rugby team here so Cavan in 1952 or Roscommon in 1944 in a different sport are of no relevance.

@Nembo_Kid

Bizarre post with random facts failing to link in with any sort of coherent point. Try again.

I’ve checked back on the post and my recall is correct, albeit the references to Cavan, Roscommon and Offaly were in 2015 and not 2016. Signs are that @Nembo_Kid has completely lost it and is just rambling incoherently. Here’s the post from 17 May 2015.

@Manuel_Zelaya

Demographics is a factor at play when it comes to the current state of former traditional powers like Roscommon, Offaly and Cavan. They are the only three counties with populations of less than 100,000 to reach an All Ireland Football final in the last 80 years. Roscommon has a population of about 63,000 which is about 10,000 less than both Cavan and Offaly. Only Leitrim, Carlow, Longford and Monaghan are more sparsely populated.

You constantly refer to sides who are without All Irelands in 30 odd years plus as being traditional GAA superpowers, the fact is they are irrelevant in the modern context of the game.

Bizarre how you can credit Johnny Come Latelys like the West British rugby side as being one of the traditional big teams and refer to cycles - utterly bizarre.

[gilgamboa]

It’s very ironic that the only Brit on the board uses such childish terms as West Brit when describing rugby. He is all over the shop

[dodgy_keeper]

This is sublime from Eng-er-lund.

Compare that to the cave man dross that fraud Schmidt churns out.

[backinatracksuit]

If he was a horse he’d have been put down months ago, just sit back and enjoy pal. @GeoffreyBoycott has it easy as usual.

If by West British rugby side you are referring to Ireland, you are again showing a very poor grasp of basic facts. Ireland are no Johnny Come Latelys. Ireland were a powerhouse of world rugby as far back as the 1890’s winning the International Championship in 1894, 1896 and 1899.

You are all over the shop here. Go off to an Ulster football thread and start talking to yourself (like you do on the Serie A thread) about Offaly, Cavan and Roscommon.

[Nembo_Kid]

The West Brits have the lowest number of successes of the traditional 5 nations. Their recent “success” is in contrast with tradition, something that contradicts your outlook on other sports.

Another Boycott double standard - it’s about time you started to be honest with the forum.

He’s just displaying his ignorance. We have the most capped Lion, the highest Lions tryscorer, we have had ten Lions captains over the years we punch miles above out weight in the administration of the world game. It’s just a small handful of small minded people who don’t respect rugby in Ireland

[Bandage]

That’s a serious clamping.

The forum’s unionist, conservative, barstool blueshirts won’t like that one bit.

[Nembo_Kid]

So you’re a West Brit and proud of it?

Practice what you preach about honesty. Calling Ireland Johnny Come Lately’s when they were the powerhouse of the International Championship in the 1890’s. Off on a tangent again when you’re pulled up on your lies.

[Nembo_Kid]

They are the least successful of the traditional 5 nationals sides.

Their recent “success” is very much of a Johnny Come Lately basis, something you need to reconcile yourself with.
