Irish rubby is in a very strong position long term compared to most other nations. Only downside is rugby is also on the brink of implosion. The irfu have done a brilliant job adapting to the professional game. Add in the quality of players coming through the only areas where we need to bring players through are outhalf, hopefully Crowley will be ROG/Sexton level and a prop to replace Furlong (porter can play both sides), depends how many miles furlong has left
People who latch onto sport who have never played it and are for some bizarre reason are afraid of their wives are the one of the more and clear and present dangers we have in the country we have.
Thatâs a great post, youâve thought deeply about that and found what you thought was an appropriate time to use it
Congrats
Kearney reckoned they could still be considered a great team. Iâd say the All Blacks were laughing at their carry on after beating South Africa.
Sure rugby will probably be outlawed by the time the next bandwagon is due to roll into town, we live in hope
Still

Furlong a pale shadow of his former self. There isnât 50 minutes in him anymore.
Heâs been some servant to Ireland but used and abused too often.
Pity Ireland donât tell the lions to fuck off.
No games in those summers could offer a huge edge.
You watch him?
Thatâs the fella, some experience to be able bring off the bench.

Not like Sexton to be having a go at the opposition after the final whistleâŚoh waitâŚ
Ah Jonny
Great player but bad captain imo.
You dont need a prop to play more than 50 tbf, another loose or tight at world class level would cover ireland off. Its amazing that porter is able for so much game time. Im surprised furlong is only 31
The Irish sporting media are as big a bunch of cunts as youâll ever see or hear. If you want any reasonable analysis, donât watch or read the Irish fanboy, green-jersey morons.

The football team still has more World Cup knockout match wins, just crazy stuff
A 0-0 win for association football over rugby.
I donât watch a lot of rugby but watched the full 80 last night.
Andrew porter - what is the story there? How many penalties did he concede? His only trick appeared to be lying on top of rucks and reaching out for a dance with the opposition scrum half.
Its scary how accurate that is !
Itâs brilliant.
