Ah they are v bad. I watched the Lamaison semi final in 99 with a former Canterbury crusader. We had played earlier that day and stopped off in a pub on the way home to watch it. He was seething straight away because we sang the marselleise with gusto. As we got more and more drink into us and France got in top he was looking for taxi numbers and asking about a bus eirean bus home (from rural co cork) rather than be listening to us. Listen to us he did anyways I’d say we sang the Marseilles a hundred fucking times on him

In short it’s a game no-one gives a monkeys about.
Not many truth told . That said how many dubliner would know the 2016 HOTY or Seamus Callinan ?
Without looking at the link, I’ll guess a few from living memory.
Rory Underwood’s match winner in the second test at Wellington in 1993.
Drico’s master class at the Gabba, obviously.
Jason Robinson’s sensational bullet burst from early in the same match.
Matt Dawson’s match-winning fake and go at Newlands in 1997.
The Kearnivore’s beauty at Loftus Versfeld in 2009.

But but but the world cup cost them x million…and did you not see the crowds do the haka in the streets!..and what about Donald, he was fishing just a few weeks before getting called up!!.. and (the unspoken truth) so what if one of those non english speaking countries got truly shafted
only a few hours away from the start of the third biggest sports event in the world
Apparently it won’t sell out the 20 thousand seats because it’s raining.
Backed NZ side here to score more than 6 in first half at 5/6
And a tryscorer from all 4 nations at 5/2

According to reports it is unlikely to be full because it’s raining.
Make of that what you will.
I’d imagine its “sold out” like a munster game.
Yet another ridiculous war dance before the off. An expression of New Zealand ‘culture’.

This, and all the games, are bizarrely on my basic Canadian sports package. Signing in.
