Oooooft
Eamon has made absolute shite out of them
Itâs like heâs taken aim at their heads, and just pulled the trigger.
One shot. Bang Bang.
âStreet footballersâ were always the best produced by Ireland
Eamo is right the lack of âstreet rugby playersâ is hurting the team of us.

Dunphy another soccer type obsessing over the Ireland rugby team. Maybe heâd be better advised to focus on the state of Eire soccer domestically, on the international stage and the administration of soccer in Eire.

Franno didnât even argue with that. Everything is on the table following #teamofus dismal failure. It seems like the worm has finally turned with public discourse on this team and they have a whole winter to stew on it.
What correlation has Irish soccer to do with the rugby team not being able to make a semi final of a rugby world cup despite being ranked number 1 in the weeks preceding it. How do you feel Dunphy could have factored discussion points on Irish soccer into his analysis of Irelandâs failures in Rugby on his podcast?
Donât let the scummy soccer crowd get to you, Dan.

Heâs stared into the soul of Irish rugby and exposed their greatest fears.
Besides the stories about all the initiation ceremonies getting out into the open.
Irelandâs best rubgy ball kicker couldnât kick it out of play. Our best thrower had rickets and was unable to catch the ball. New Zealandâs piano pushers had more skill than our piano players. Until rubgy becomes attractive to actual sports playing people down the country then this will always be the case.
A big up yours to 11 of the starting 15 from last Saturdayâs quarter final. I make it 4 of the starting 15 that went to schools in South Dublin.
James Ryan - St Michaelâs College
Josh Van der Flier - Wesley College
Jonny Sexton - St Maryâs College
Garry Ringrose - Blackrock College
Where did the rest go to school
Itâs a metaphor for a state of mind. You could use it for Pres or Christians posh boys cruising around Rochestown.

Doubt it. 14 of the 15 starters last Saturday were born and educated in Ireland.
It seems we need more foreigners
We need more foreigners who are not good enough for their native teams to come in and help us beat said native teams in the World Cup. Could we get some of the Polynesian lads playing for Japan?

I think of all the examples of really shit play that Ireland conjured up during the world cup, Henshaws failure to catch a ball over the try line that was bouncing upwards with no one near him was the zenith of shittiness. It seems Schmidt realised mid term that he had a crop of media proclaimed âgolden generationâ players that lacked basic motor skills and eye to hand coordination. The game plan then revolved around what the opposition were doing and trying to disrupt. That approach has a very short shelf life. In all my time watching rugby Ireland only ever had 1 world class player and that was Brian O Driscoll.
