Illiterate bastards.

Nicola (see below) has a right cut at them there all the same

Great organisation to embrace change. The article mentions the first ever female ref in an AIL rogbee match but a 2 year old could competently ref one of those as no one really knows the rules anyway. A game that has different rules depending on which side of the equator you’re on. What a strange pastime.

The joke’s on you. Quite clearly a delbierate spellin mitsake by the Goznaga supporters.

Incredible scenes there as they shouted for their most famous past pupil to shove the (fucking) newspaper he owns “up his arse”.

There will be civil war in the wider Gonzaga College family over this.

The first picture put Nicola in a more favourable light .

What is the view of this year’s Blackrock team . How do they compare to previous vintage ??

The GAA had a woman ref at a McKenna Cup fixture . This is a fourth rate pre season tourney behind the Championship , League & O Fiach Cup.

Ms O Reilly referred in the Leinster Schools Cup.

No real comparison .

Agreed. Rugby still has a long way to come.

Not a past pupil.

good lord,…

Gonzaga fans are famous for their witty and boisterous chanting - a favourite being “we play chess” - and they kept a stoic, steady roar going throughout the game. Blackrock mustered a reply with: “Big, fat dirty boys, you’re big fat, dirty boys.”

But their rugby beef was helpless in the face of Gonzaga’s half-time clown show.

Two of the old boys made their way into the centre of the pitch before another appeared with the blue and white of ‘Rock on’ over his own green. They wrestled and rolled in a parody of the game - with Gonzaga naturally coming out top.

Very similar behaviour to association football fans.

Garbally won the junior cup.

He has the look of a chap that has been deliberately starved for a week and has just spotted a breakfast roll strategically placed under the opposition posts. Canny tactics. Joe Smith take note.

The harmless Sligo chap giving chase looks like a victim of severe malnutrition by comparison.
