Sing AmhrĂ n na bhFiann ye shower of fucking cunts.
Ah fucking lovely.
Grand slams are sacred says Horgan. Only to Ireland pal.
A new low for hybrid Ireland
The supporters will have forgotten this and be supping pints of Guinness and Magners within the hour.
Ultimately nobody actually cares about the result. It is a nice to have but itâs about who is the Archbishop of Banterbury for the evening really
[QUOTE=âSidney, post: 1106770, member: 183â]Individual mistakes by uncoordinated oafs cost Ireland there in a match they could easily have won. I thought OâConnell was immense.
I donât understand why Wales got that penalty at the end.[/QUOTE]
Just came on to post that. Crucial decision to give Wales a scrum at the end and no one has any idea why it was given. There was not even an attempt by those on BBC to analyse it. Just accept the nonsense of lack of knowledge of rules. Yet people rave about this game.
Itâs a nonsense. Wayne Barnes seems particularly keen to be in the limelight.
It looked to my untrained eye like a penalty to Ireland as Ireland were clearly the ones making Wales wheel around.
The rules of rugby are like a secret handshake. I donât know the handshake and I donât think anybody, even the referee, does.
:D:pint::D:pint::D:pint:
McGurk and Hook are some pair of fools.
Fuck off oirish losers
JonnySexton is no Ronan O Gara thatâs for sure
Ireland are predictable. No creativity in their back play. How they miss bod
This farce of a carry on was neatly summed up in the last piece of âactionâ. Wales awarded a scrum for no particular reason.
Referee lets clock roll on for 20-25 seconds before stopping it.
Ireland appears to dismantle the Welsh scrum and they get a free out.
No one has a scooby do whatâs happening and Rte spend most of the âanalysisâ period squabbling over the spring bok centre.

On boards.ie there are people slating Jozef Schmidt over his âpoor game planâ. A couple of weeks ago he was the best coach in the world.
Ireland did exactly the same as they did in the previous matches. Their game plan worked largely the same as in previous matches. They lost because individual players such as Sexton, Healy and Best made individual mistakes and because the referee gave a couple of bizarre decisions against them, probably for no other reason than because Wales were at home.
I donât know much about the detail of the rugger but the jocks against England are much more enjoyable to watch than Ireland and can pass\run with the ball. Is this a correct observation?
I donât think Iâve ever seen a scrum half put the ball in straight to a scrum yet not a wordâŚalso there was a time in the game when welsh fans were booing and players going mad because Ireland got some decisionâŚthere was an eerie silence from the commentary boxâŚi donât think ryle had a clue what had happened⌠
yet in true rugby win win fashion according to Ryle this game is a great learning curve for the World cupâŚ

If they were out there for another 40 minutes they still wouldnât score a try. 32 phases in the Wales 22 looked like a bunch of retards trying to fuck a doorknob.
a clear case of âwhite line feverâ âŚ
They got one penalty try and had another obvious oppurtunity to score another one.
Schmidt rightly recognises that âtop levelâ international rugby is mainly a barbaric physical dirge, recognises that Ireland are limited in the backs (not that theyâd be able to run the ball anyway even if they werenât limited) and has built a game plan built on eliminating mistakes. But some of his players made basic mistakes anyway either because they are naturally uncoordinated oafs (Best and Healy) or because they are probably still concussed (Sexton).
Schmidt rightly recognises that Ireland can only win these type of matches in one way. Pretty much every other team apart from New Zealand can only win in the same way. When his game plan produces wins, heâs eulogised. When it doesnât produce a win, heâs âshown up for tactical naivetyâ.
People on boards.ie are now earnestly saying that Ireland need a new backs coach after todayâs match. The standard of debate on rugby is, in the words of Malcolm Tucker from The Thick Of It, low, soooo low (include sarcastic hand gesture to illustrate lowness).
