When it comes to the Loins we are all British mate.
Great news for Leinster. Healy will have a relaxing summer now and be refreshed for the new season rather than travelling around that cesspit with a makey uppy team.
Mako is as British as the Gurkhas.
Rory proud of his boots, very diplomatic to choose the shamrock, them Ulster boys, always thinking.

Jeez you really enjoy the digs at Ulster mbb. Ever dawned on you that ‘Swing Low’ was sung in irony and perhaps Rory is proud to be Irish? Insecurity levels of folks on this thread are rather large. Many of same will be cheering on their favourite EPL side in September but find it incomprehensible how other Irish people could cheer on a side representing this country as well as Britain. Strange
I’m a big fan of the Ulster Franchise Larry. It was amazing to hear how easily singing that tune came that famous night in Ravenhill, a wonderful occasion. Ulster are one of the top 4 Rugby Franchises in Ireland. Rory is a proud proud Ulsterman and you have to admire him in how he goes about his business in representing Ulster and Ireland and now Britain.
It has been reported that Sam Warburton has personally asked Warren Gatland that he be made to fight for a Test place in the same manner as every other squad member.
That’s selfless leadership and honesty from the captain given the strength in depth in the back row. In putting the team ahead of his own personal ambitions, Warbs has shown that he is true captain material - Gatty clearly chose wisely.
It will take a superhuman effort to oust the Tank at this early stage, but if anyone has it in them its Sammy.
They’ll remain competitors, but firm friends, whatever happens.
I’m heading on a stag next weekend and there is talk amongst the group of getting up for 10.30am to watch the Lions on Saturday morning.
I am led to believe that they are not even playing Australia but some club side from Queensland or something.
So basically a bunch of Irish lads are getting up early having been on the absolute tear the night before to watch a mixed team from Britain and Ireland play a match against some Australian club side.
That to me doesn’t make much sense.
Where is the stag farmer?

It makes perfect sense to me. 
They’ll have that nod in years to come, that look. They’ll know. They’ll know.
Cork.
Even worse as there’ll be Munster fans about the place no doubt.

Curb your dislike for Munster, at least for now, Farmer. We’re all on the same team, here, reading from the same page, singing off the same hymnsheet.
We’re all in this together.
… to go on the beer again should be reason enough for the cunts.
Absolutely gutted for Church and everyone up in Great Denmark Street. They really needed a tonic after last weeks’s unfortunate headlines about old boy Tom Lenihan and his travails in the Trinity College end of year exams, then this. Like us all, they had such hopes that he would be their first test starter for the British Lions since Seamus Oliver Campbell in New Zealand in 1983. Sadly its not now to be.
Its 1971 all over again. Ray McLoughlin was the main in question back then. Nailed down seemingly for the loose head position in the test team and felled and tour ended against Canterbury in the infamous Battle of Christchurch without seeing test action.
That’s what they are saying - ‘it’s not about the match, it’s about going on the beer’. As if they are some sort of legends. Half of them won’t have been out in months.
Going on the beer at 10.30am is fucking crazy anyway - stag or no stag.
Farmer, they’ll be in bed by 8pm I guarantee it.
Ladbrokes - Anytime card for Reds 11/10

Hmmm that looks a good bet.
