Agreed. I think his age is a bigger issue than the break. Takes a bit longer to recover from every clatter etc.
Relax lads, he’s been playing the game for years, he’ll be back roaring abuse at referees to his usual level in no time
This narrative is crazy
Some of the replies here wouldn’t look out of place in a Ross o Carroll Kelly book. Fierce bang of snobbery, anti soccer, won’t someone please think of the children in a lot of the replies.
“This is not soccer.”
They need to drop the names and also drop the numbers and move to letters like Leicester had to avoid any confusion.
Irish rugby media meltdown as Owen Farrell gets off.
Hilarious given they were so smug over the sexton ban.
“we’re austrayan mate”
Rubby supporters have a fascination of taking a higher ground over their rivals and are not shy about it. Strange behaviour, very Utd vs Liverpool footix, caring more about the opposite suffering than their own teams success
George Hook is canvassing support for a RWC podcast. He has gotten a better reception than Heaslip anyway.
I’d listen away to him if he goes ahead with it.
Hook would do very well with such a podcast because people want to listen to storytellers rather than corporate jargon merchants and rugby punditry is bedevilled with corporate jargon merchants.
The Paddys are gonna get it next month.
That result may be a positive as regards a potential quarter-final against New Zealand. Although I’m led to believe a red card had a big bearing on the outcome.
Ireland would be bate by both, all the one.
A record defeat for the mighty All Blacks. Their captain was red carded in the first half and the overall discipline was shite by the sounds of it.
Eire will now remain number one in the all important rankings going in to the World Cup.
No excuses from here so.
But the draw…
It most certainly did not
I’m going to the sa game, we’ll bate them and then we’ll knock out NZ. France will beat us then.
We wouldn’t be playing France until the final if that came to pass. I’d take that. It would be typical if we beat SA but lost the quarter-final. Needless to say but I’d rather lose to SA and then beat New Zealand or France. Need to overcome Scotland first though. Which we should.
