Given the fact that Ireland play these Southern Hemisphere nations a lot more regularly now than during the amateur era, the importance of test match results has surely been diluted? Also the probability of actually winning a few of them increases the more they play
I wouldnât be overly surprised to see Sexton back for the Six Nations and Europe given everything. The team needs to move on now (he shouldnât be allowed to) but he canât be happy with how he has left it.
Very rare to play three test match series in the pro area.
Iâm bemused by the reaction of lads on. Sledging by Pom and sexton is the worst thing in the world. Iâd imagine much worse gets said by both sets of players but it just isnât picked up camera.
You had gaa players with their markers girl friends mobile numbers written on their inside of the arms but the likes of @Fat_Pox has no issue with that sort of sledging. Thatâs manly gaa sledging I guess.
Sledging happens in every sport. Those Tyrone boys with the phone numbers were bad eggs. However Iâve never heard them or their media crying foul when the shoe was on the other foot.
Yes mate. You can get your own to treasure memories of âThe Greatest Day in Irish Rugby Historyâ, which took place on an American Football field in that rugby stronghold of Chicago, USA
What was the story there? There was some extreme sledging between Tyrone and Donegal back around 10 years ago. Think it went overboard then in a minor match and things started to mellow a bit.
Where was he saying this? In Leinster HQ (is it still UCD?) or are the boys still in a pub/Gary Ringroses parents house?
