Rugby World Cup 2023/ Crochet & Knitting chit chat

Canā€™t see too much interest in the Lions. A fading institution like the Ba Bas, plus theyā€™re going down to an Oz team that wouldnā€™t bate their way out of a wet paper bag. Will be a hard sell, canā€™t imagine too much interest from Amazon in this.

Extremely subjective of Michael C Oā€™ Connor to suggest that our golden era started after 2009. We didnā€™t come close to another 6 Nations title for 5 years after it. 2009 was the culmination of a near decade of work.

Time to close down this thread and get back to the run-of-the-mill ones for the URC, ERC and the rest.

Just another 3 years, 10 months and 25 days until Australia.

Entirety predictable, anything but interesting

I cant wait to see the lads twist themselves into knots over this. A 6 Nations incoming, and the goys will start dreaming again.

4 year cycle.

After the northern hemispheres poor showing at the world cup and now stuff like this, there is a real Tailteann Cup feel about the 6Nations.

Different sport, mate.

Fucking split season

Did I say otherwise?

Not relevant to the post you quoted so.

Have Ireland ever got past the quarter finals of the Rubby 7s at the Olympics?

I think the point is that the best rugby player in the world is skipping the prestigious Six Nations tournament to practice playing Tag Rugby at the Olympics

Not relevant to the point, heā€™s going off to do something different for a few months.

Modern world of sport.

If you say so.

Is he still going to play club rubby?

How different is rugby to 7s rugby? Same rules and skills just take out the fat lads?

Would you say the FIFA World Cup is the most prestigious completion in football?

Different specialism. You canā€™t compare a Serevi to a McCaw, for example.
