@gilgamboa will arrange some absolutely hilarious way to get to the final though. Probably on a trawler.

Perhaps himself and @GeoffreyBoycott on a fixie made for two

It’s good to see the IRFU and Ulster taking this seriously and credit to them for that. The apologists for rape culture won’t like their stance one bit, though.

It’s a good thing that you don’t have an employer I guess

Are there two Irish teams in a European semi? The only competition I can think of that Ireland were as successful in is the Eurovision.

@Tim_Riggins is hopping like a sausage in a frying pan. :grinning:

Correct two Irish sides and two sides that have never won the competition, Llanelli Scarlets and Racing from Paris make up the last four. You get a variety and depth at the business end of the European Cup in rugby that you just don’t get in the soccer equivalent.

Scarlets-Glasgow getting quite testy. Ref couldn’t blow for halftime quick enough

This is an interesting story, perhaps all ready well known to rugby folk

I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:

For anyone who scoffs at the notion rugby isnt a global game it was heartening to see Kenya in the final of the Hong Kong sevens earlier. The premier leg of the world series

That’s some extremes to get away from rubby and rubby people… You can’t blame him really, just look how excited they get about Kenya having a tag team.

Where are Ireland ranked in the world 7s rankings?

The shield final or the proper one,?

Proper one

Yes. It was discussed on the Celebrity Deaths thread last week. The usual rugby hater trolls predictably weighed in.
