Sure wasn’t yer man Roger O’Gara born in the USA.
Heaslip? Hahahahahahhahahahha.
He’s fucking fooled everyone, air play to him, the Neil Francis of the 21st century.
I wonder does Rog regret turning down that lucrative 12m dollar kicking contract with the Miami Dolphins?

Surprised that nobody has claimed Heaslip is an Israeli yet.

Even the statisticians…
Matt Stevens has presumably been called up to fill the Lawrence Dallaglio 1997-type role.

You could argue that the list of forwards have been very lucky with injuries & this has a big bearing on the overall scores.
Incorrect.
Britain 36
Ireland 1 (O’Driscoll)
So basically any cunt that plays adult rugby got into the squad?
Pretty much, apart from Strauss.
Jonny Wilkinson REFUSED a call up to the Lions :o
Hasn’t he already got an OBE (or whatever)?
One of the common criticisms heard in the Irish media about the Ireland team is that the Irish national anthem is not played before every match. After all, it’s the Ireland team - shouldn’t the Irish national anthem be played?
With that in mind, I hope that “God Save The Queen” will be played before each match on the tour. After all, this is the British Loins - the British national anthem should be played.
Oh Sidney, you well know the Lions already have a proud anthem the boys love listening to. Come on now.
Limerick 2 Cork 0 is all they will care about in Thomond Park.
My main concern from an initial review of the squad listing is that it contains too many piano pushers and not enough piano players.
Sure we need the guys to front up but we’ve sacrificed guile and gas for brawn and bulk in my opinion.
Just my €0.02 worth.
We don’t and it annoys me intensely that political correctness prevents us from having one.

From the four corners of our lands
We’re united, hand in hand
Together
We’re stronger
We join and proud we stand
Now the day has come, we are one
Standing tall for our Lions’ call
We’re stronger
Together
We are the power of four
Look how proudly the fans are singing it in the stands! Thank you Clive

An abomination foisted upon us by the power hungry, politically correct brigade. Thankfully we got rid of it for South Africa 2009, never to be heard again.
Good article in the Indo about the upcoming tour.
