Wasnât a bad DG, still nowhere near zinzan Brookeâs one
Yea whatever
how many silver and bronzes do the egg chasers have in a sport where only 5 teams take it seriously?
That will sicken a few cunts. An awful lot of lads will go absolutely demented after that.
The rugby hating soccer types are seething.
Again individuals.
If I was to look at individuals in rugby, one won best player in the world in the early 2000s and more often than not Irish players have been finalists in that category. Several have won European Player of the Year if youâre counting that. On a team level the Irish team have won several European team titles in the last decade.
In terms of teams reaching their peak in sports of a decent size, I would say the Ireland under 19 rugby squad who won the 1998 World Championships have to be top. Then the under 21 squad who finished second in 2004 and the 2016 vintage at under 20 level. I would include the 1997 third placed footballers but that is a partionist sport. I could see an argument for the 1994 Irish Quidditch Squad who won the World Cup.
A few of them like @Massey were there from the afternoon on the Rory Best thread. He probably had a glut of material he was coming up with while watching the Irish rugby squad play this evening. Weâre talking about 3 or 4 hours devoured to something he doesnât like.
Chickens came home to roost for Scotland today. Madness to sack a coach of the quality of Vern Cotter for the unproven Gregor Townsend.
Celtic lost this morning to a team with less than 10% of their budget, theyâre very upset by the loss of their British side of choice.
Sorry mate i used up all my rape jokes earlier.
Who gouged the French fella in the bottom picture?
Is that @ChocolateMice second from right in the dressing room?
@ChocolateMice isnât fat. Think of Carl Frochâs physique with Emre Canâs hair.
Wind your neck in there with Joe.
We play an awful brand of rugby.
Great kick by sexton but christ the way Ireland play is absolute caveman stuffâŚhuff and puff with zero flareâŚFrench played like they were explained the rules of the game just before kick offâŚ
Can everyone here complaining about the style of Irish rugby just let us all know up front if they ever enjoyed the ROI soccer team winning a game. Just to put some context on the comments.
They havenât won a knockout match at a world cup in 30 years mateâŚweâll cross that hurdle and hold off on actually winning the whole tournament for now!
