What’s their record like in the championship over those 135 years?

GeoffreyBoycott · January 31, 2018, 2:06pm

Post WW2, Ireland won it in 1948, 49, 51, 73 (shared), 74, 82, 83 (shared), 85, 2009, 14 & 15.

Why did you narrow the time frame there, pal? Do I take it that’s 11 wins in 135 attempts?

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · January 31, 2018, 2:09pm

answer the question

GeoffreyBoycott · January 31, 2018, 2:10pm

Wouldn’t be on top of exact years pre WW2. I’d have to look it up and didn’t want to feed you misinformation. Any long standing rugby fan would rattle off those years from 1948 onwards. It’s like knowing what years your county won the All Ireland.

bizarre

anon61956325 · January 31, 2018, 2:12pm

Ask Fagan

England cover the cost of their international players, France in process of doing it

gilgamboa · January 31, 2018, 2:37pm

The 6 nations as a competition has the highest average attendance of any international team competition in the world, over 15,000 per match ahead of its nearest rival.

Ireland likely to start a 21 year who has hardly played for his club at the weekend

Esso_Oil · January 31, 2018, 2:47pm

Yeah but only for access isnt it? Not central contracts. in other words they pay the clubs a fee to release them for international duty.

Esso_Oil · January 31, 2018, 2:49pm

Ah he has go way outta that.

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · January 31, 2018, 2:49pm

bigger than F1?

GeoffreyBoycott · January 31, 2018, 2:52pm

A testament to the enduring popularity of this 135 year old sporting institution.

gilgamboa · January 31, 2018, 2:52pm

5 starts 5 sub appearances

gilgamboa · January 31, 2018, 2:54pm

Covering the bulk of the cost of these players contracts. Yes in theory paying for acess but thats semantics.

Esso_Oil · January 31, 2018, 2:54pm

Thanks. You proved my point. He has played 10 times. A number of them in “international” competitions (Pro 14 and European Cup)

Esso_Oil · January 31, 2018, 2:55pm

Thanks again for proving my point.
