The 6 day turnaround.
The roof being open.
The noise of the Welsh crowd.
A minor stomach bug that required some of the players to be segregated.
The rubby lads love their excuses.
Schmidt getting some well articulated criticism on Newstalk earlier.
The rubby lads talk some utter shit in their pre game stuff. Laying down a marker and all that cliched bollocks. They’re all gobshites.
I loled there watching the news at the sight of CJ Stander trying to take a quick tap at a penalty.
He should spend the summer with the monaleen junior footballers .
Aki is two stone heavier and a lot more ponderous than he used to be.
Stander has put on as much
Hes not a centre though.
You could post that on the Tipp GAA thread this morning
Segregation was rarely ever a problem for Irish rugby players in the past, so I don’t see why it should be now.
Hmm, the romance is over, this goy is cracking up
Schmidt needs to start naming dummy teams.
Another excuse. The opposition knew our team. Fuck off, Joe.
The problem is he has been but has forgotten to change them
Knives are out for Schmidt in a big way. How quickly the media will turn.
It should have come long before now, he’s had an armchair ride.
I suppose so. He hasn’t won the 6 nations in at least a year.
What? He won the grand slam 12 months ago, a tour to oz and beat New Zealand. Absolutely incredible overreaction to a couple of bad performances.
That’s the standard that the Eire soccer types demand of the Ireland rugby team.
3 championships in 6 attempts and significant success against Southern Hemisphere teams. That’s a step change in performance in Irish Rugby terms.
