Great to have Sir Ian back on our screens.
I am very excited over this, haven’t looked forward to a match this much in years to be honest.

the biggest game of rugby since Croke Park in 2007
A harsh but fair critique of the Limerick hurlers.

The only time the gga can fill it is for a U2 concert
Probably the Eucharistic Conference as well.
Sign in @GeoffreyBoycott, sign in.
This is our Everest.
And there’s no fucking way we’re letting a New Zealander reach the top first this time.
Well, maybe Gatty.

True story: I had a dream about a Loins tour and a deciding Loins test during the night. Most of the tour was to Japan but the tests were against New Zealand in New Zealand. In the dream I am 12 years old and asking my father why the whole tour isn’t in New Zealand.
I am present as the Loins team and management pack up to go to New Zealand. Sir Ian McGeechan is the head coach and Andy Robinson and Donal Lenihan are his assistants. The contents of what they are bringing are contained in one large cardboard box being carried around my old school playground.
A door leads from my old school playground into Eden Park for the deciding test. Ian Keatley and an unnamed Scotch player are alternating at outside-half. I am standing 15 yards behind Keatley as he kicks a penalty goal to put us 9-0 up. The grass was six inches long.
I can’t remember anything after that, but I know whatever happened, we would have been hard bet from there.

I’m in a glass box of emotion here.
Can you imagine how the man united pyjamas wearing oddball is feeling as he climbs out from under his cum stained 30 year old Bryan Robson duvet this morning to watch that which he hates?

Despising a young fella who pushes his body to the absolutely limit in his chosen profession, while at the same time praising a hape of shite who is intent on pissing away any talent he has in his hobby, at a Papa Johns counter.
