You may not have started it, but youâve contributed a fair bit. Top poster by almost double the lad in second.
Youâve got in some dominant tackles and have a bit of scoreboard separation.

I believe there was a prop playing who only Took up the position 4 months ago.
A big hefty lad. Full of running.
Youâd be mortified getting a like off most of those no marks⌠I wouldnât be highlighting it really.

What @gilgamboa dosent reslise is that Limericks all Ireland win last year has been cathartic and 94 does not hold painful memories anymore. He will only know this effect when Ireland erase the embarrassment of the defeat to Japan when they are crowned World Champs.

There probably wouldnât be an Eire soccer team if they werenât selecting players born and raised in England and products of the English club system. There isnât the will or the interest in Eire to sustain a functional professional club scene in Eire.

800 years of colonisation will do that

Iâd far prefer to see a guy who actually qualifies to play for Ireland through his family heritage than cheap South African and other Southern Hemisphere imports
Calling it international rugby is a bit of a misnomer. Itâs a glorified club competition for the northern hemisphere teams.
Bizarre and bitter comment, thereâd be an Irish team, theyâd just around no. 100 in the world.
A lot of lads letting themselves down badly on this thread. âYou lads embarrass the country moreâ. âNo you lads embarrass the country more.â A pathetic sight.

It doesnât recognize NI are a sovereign state . Similarly Scotland and Wales
I think 3 years is too short but this is a tricky subject .
Itâs not tricky at all. The IRFU identify young prospects from overseas to target, bring them here and manufacture Irish internationals out of them.
That is a million miles away from John Walters or Kevin Kilbane or Gary Breen or John Aldridge etc who are actually entitled to play for Ireland and, in most if not all cases, hold an Irish Passport from birth.
The result made no difference. We still can win it out.
The rugby lads are more upset with lads taking the piss out of them than losing the match
But what about the humidity mate, surely thatâll come against us?
Very unlikely weâll be playing japan until the final. By then Ireland should be well used to it.
Japan should really make the final because theyâre the only team used to the humidity.
