you must have mistaken me for a charity worker
To the best of my knowledge, Maoris and certainly Pacific Island-born players playing for New Zealand was a rare occurrence before the late 1980s/early 1990s.
Theyâre fair making up for it now
My advice if you need any tickets is to head up to Belfastâs Laganside courts complex next Friday. There may well be four spare ones being flogged quickly if proceedings progress as expected.

That would be very poor use of my time to fly home from England only to fly back over. Thanks for the suggestion
You place far too much emphasis on this World Cup competition thatâs only been around since 1987.
Its an interesting juxtaposition for a Liverpool fan who wallows in the glorys only of events prior to 87

You appear to be neglecting the fact that England have always approached trips to Cardiff in âThe Championshipâ with extreme trepidation.
I believe they went 24 years without a victory there from 1967 to 1991?
Bar the 1995 to 2003 period when Welsh rugby was at a historically low ebb(w vale), Wales have usually had their number there.
Edit: I almost forgot to mention that even in the middle of that barren period the Welsh famously denied England the Grand Slam at Wembley in the most dramatic circumstances.
A European Cup, a UEFA Cup, two league championships, four FA Cups and four League Cups is a decent enough haul for a club who ceased to win anything in 1987.
Sweeeeeep sweeeeeeep
Itâs quite obviously yourself that is performing the âsweeeeeep sweeeeeeepâ, pal.
Irish rugby people are generally quite good at that.
Well done to Ireland on winning the 3 nations

That was a very clinical performance.
Lots of room for improvement.
Some great talent coming through.
France and England have no luck with the populations of their country.
If only they had more people.

Poor @Sidney, up all night thumping away the laptop. Seething because an Irish team were successful and won an international tournament.
Fascinating to watch as ever.

Itâs bizarre that a fella would spend so long on something he supposedly doesnât care for. The competitive advantage of munster being based in a city ffs sake.

The big âsweeeeeep sweeeeeeepâ underway already from the hurt ones.
Supporters of the Irish rugby team tend to be very tender little things who object to facts, and so it is here.
