Maybe the rugby crowd should follow the GAA and not let drink onto the stadium. Would the lads turning up for the social occasion drinking event bother coming then?

There was something wonderfully quaint and admirable about chaps sipping from hipflasks on the freezing Lansdowne Road terrace as a biting easterly wind whipped in from Sandymount, as Michael Kiernan launched a garryowen and the atavistic, tribal nature of every man, woman and child on that terrace suddenly overflowed. They might have had freezing ears, but the cockles of their hearts were warm. Marcus Rose/Paul Thorburn/Gavin Hastings/Serge Blanco were going to be fucking stampeded.

Don’t mention Roses to the rubby fans mate. It’ll send them over the edge
Saturday is history now. The focus is exclusively on the thistles.
T’would be wrong to kick true rugby supporters like @gilgamboa, @GeoffreyBoycott and @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy when they’re down.

We need to use our dominance in the tackle where we can mate

Atrocious effort from Ewan there today.
By the way who is the recently retired rugby international who stood at a bathroom door in Limerick spitting at everyone who walked past?

That could be thuggish behavior from any rugby player.
There’s too much passive tackling in irish rugby, or submissive tackling. I’ll decide later.
