The Anti Rugby Football Thread Pt 2

@Tim_Riggins

Sure that’s the B stadium.

For years the rest of Irish rugby was carrying the can for Thomond whilst it was fiercely resisted. Are we at the end of the payment term or is it Nucirofa leaving that is prompting it?

Well I was just pointing out the Musgrave Park naming rights have been sold, has Thomond been sold too?

Lads shouldnt be precious about naming rights, sell em off, who the fuck cares what a stadium is called.

They had agreed to sign an Aussie hooker for 6 months at one stage and were blocked on it too.

Stephen Moore wasn’t it? Irish diaspora. The line at the time was that it would disrupt Niall Scannell’s development.

@ciarancareyshurlingarmy

The same ones who barracked Anthony Foley as manager

They’ve made up for that by standing in a figure of 8 whenever the telly is looking.

[ciarancareyshurlingarmy]

Ah, that’s fine so. Carry on.

[glasagusban]

One of the other provinces had a foreign hooker at the time so nucifora blocked it.

I think I’d backed Munster on the handicap against one of the Italian teams one Friday night (in Thomond Park) easily ten years ago. He had a mare from the tee and I remember giving him plenty of shit which I regret now.

Keatley is a seriously nice fella, my mother was scrambling to buy a Christmas tree out in Woodies later the same year, there was only one left, Keatley arrived the same time with his missus and told her to take it, that he’d be going up home anyway.

Very talented and technically proficient player, probably came around at the wrong time.

Keatley got booed which isn’t great in my opinion but it’s hardly the worst crime in the world either.

A lot of the frustration around Keatley was he was up against hanrahan who was a world rugby young player of year and highly rated from a very young age.

That’s where a lot of frustration came from imo. It wasn’t just him playing badly but who he was perceived to be keeping out of the team.

It’s pretty bad form to be booing one of your own players.

Exhibit A

[Halfpipe]

Yep, there are various lads being mentioned here who Munster are all upset are leaving the province and I’d say none of them are as good as Keatley was. He done an interview a few years back on the effect the Munster support turning on him had on his life, twas far more than booing he had to put up with.

Did

[Halfpipe]

Wouldn’t have brought the same flow and musicality to the post, needed to step outside the grammatical norms

Ah stop he was absolutely useless. In a bad set up tbf.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Joke of an Irish squad. Tom ahern and John hodnett should tell Farrell to fuck off.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Sure I doubt he’s much of a supporter. He’s wearing a ten year old jersey at the game.

[Diabhal]

Probably the least exciting squad announcement I can remember anyways

[StoneCold]

A very low key squad announcement; I thought the Six Nations was the pre eminent international rubby competition? You used to get pop up notifications on the phone whenever an Irish rubby squad was announced.

Maybe lessons have been learnt?
