Bizarre story to make up.
Yup. We all piled into that pub there beside semple to watch the rugby. Met Joe McKenna. Tipp handed us our holes a few weeks later with Eoin Kelly giving an exhibition. We all know what happened after that

A great fella 
I think you move in the right circles tbh. It never ceases to amaze me the people for whom it’s a regular feature.

I agree wholeheartedly.
Munstwr have been impressive again abit against the dragons. With the young lads they are playing good confident rugby. Will be interesting to see when the international lads return will they return to type, slow predictable rugby and bottlers

Casey, who i was iffy about at the start of the year if he can step up with the hype has put serious questions about murrays place. He has being brilliant in every game. Coombes Hodnet o sullivan and JOD are putting POM under pressure again all being more consistent. A few good young props and fineen in the row. Give these guys a run in big games this season and aim for 2022 with experience, rather than continuing to bottle at the semi stage. There is a lot of positives here.
I was hoping for a return to slow predictable bottlers.
Agreed its great to see some people spinning when they lose
Munster are really on the way back.

Coombes is some man for the hord yords
Casey & Healy are the best new set of half backs we have produced in a long, long, long time. Casey better than Murray at that age, albeit different players. Coombes is a beast and if he continues, he’ll make the 6 Nations squad. The lads coming back from Ireland squad will need to be on the ball if they want to start - Casey, Coombes, Wycherley and Healy making a huge case. Nash shows his raw talent in fits and bursts, hopefully he will continue to develop.
Knox is also an excellent young talent. As is Jack O’Sullivan who has impressed any time he has played over the past 12 months. He will get more time now that Hodnett (another huge talent) is out for a long while. It’s exciting times, and makes us cannot wait for the H Cup. 11 points clear in the Pro14 is seriously good going after 6 games.

for me it was getting the 66 bus into dublin thurs/fri/sat night and averaging a spend of 150 to 200 euro / night no problem- from the John Durcan in 2005 when Hi CLoy won cc @Mac at 8/1 @BruidheanChaorthainn to the 1000 Guineas that year ( or maybe this was 2007) when we were doing things like throwing 5/600 quid on Fionsceal Beo at evens or on a friday night at Market Rasen putting 400 at 5/2 on Paddy Brennan to win on Scarface i would say the place was going bonkers
@Tassotti george washington won the 2000 guineas in 2006… remember that- the bookies went mad
same i remember when Brave inca won the 2006 champion hurdle at 7/4 i think …that 4 days of cheltenham was deranged - there was no online shit then- it was real manly punting in powers full of drink… 50 euro ew bets on 4 horses in the pertemps or 6x100 euro win bets in the county hurdles at 5-15 on the friday
@Big_Dan_Campbell @Tassotti can you remember the big tree after cork clare semi final in 2005? it was the day after dubin tyrone and mulligan’s goal and they ran out of pint bottles around 7pm…the place was carnage
i remember John o flynn was out smoking with a pint and the next day he was on TV as CCFC beat shels 1-0 before winning the league … chaotic times
