Munster Rugby - We DID start the fire (Part 1)

Exercise will always be no.1 in Ireland.

[caoimhaoin]

Very little evidence to support rugby being dangerous.

[anon61956325]

From the eyes of a parent there’s plenty. Concussions in schools are rife, but work away with your ‘evidence’ theory.

From the eyes of a parent

So you have no evidence bar hearsay and conjecture? Carry on

[anon61956325]

What was my original post? I said middle class parents in Limerick are pushing their kids away from rugby as they see it as dangerous… Now you want empirical data to back up how parents perceive the game? You clown…What happened in a game involving a Limerick school last year? There’s been a rake of concussions in school games and I know from a parent I know that there’s plenty of concern from parents in general… If you want to get your back up, that’s fine, but I’m just telling you as it is.

[gilgamboa]

When you’re explaining you’re losing pal.

You don’t have a kid so therefore any parental evidence on your part is mere hearsay

[anon61956325]

And you’re not a middle class parent from Limerick so you can’t speculate on the mind set of said parents.

[gilgamboa]

I’m not speculating at all. I just queried your evidence. You are all over the shop. Any more hearsay for me?

[anon61956325]

You want evidence on how people perceive something? Is that what you’re asking for?

[gilgamboa]

You said there was plenty evidence. I asked you what it was. We concluded it was hearsay. Don’t know what you are getting yourself into such a lather about. Row with mum?

[anon61956325]

I never mentioned evidence, you made that up… I’m not arguing with one of my best online mates about this, I’m just telling you what I’ve heard.

I normally only go to the internationals and the schools games (because that’s where the best rugby is played). But I might make an exception for this as I think there might be a danger that Waterford will be underrepresented at this event.

@GeoffreyBoycott

Have Waterford had many Ireland internationals? I’m struggling to think of anyone beyond Ben Cronin.

@Fagan_ODowd

Cronin is the only one. 2 caps.

@Fagan_ODowd - you can lay claim to one of the great flankers for Ireland and the British Lions. Was flicking through some old programmes and was surprised to note that the great J.W. McKay (Queens University Belfast, Ulster, Ireland & British Lions) was born in Waterford on the glorious 12th of July 1921.

That’s cheered me right up.

[ciarancareyshurlingarmy]

That would make him a Trucilier. Was his father in the crown forces down there?

[GeoffreyBoycott]

Don’t know about his father but Bill McKay served the crown forces with distinction as a commando in World War 2. He qualified as a doctor shortly after returning from New Zealand on the 1950 British Lions tour and emigrated to Gisborne in New Zealand where he lived for nearly 50 years.
