When they didnât get past a quarter final with OâDriscoll youâd wonder will it ever happen. You have Paul OâConnell being lauded as one of the greats. He was probably grand without the ball but throw it to him and it regularly resulted in a knock on. You would think the ability to throw and catch a ball would be a prerequisite to getting on a ball playing international team but it doesnât seem to apply to Ireland, and they wonder why we never get past a quarter.
Theyâll probably win all round them in the six nations and the backslapping will start again.
Cian Healy went to school in the northside inner city The other ten provincially across the island of Ireland.
So why did they shit the bed?
Having âgood handsâ is a fundamental
Paulie was busy putting the fear of god into the opposition to focus on cure skills
alright lads, itâs done. they shit the course like we all knew they would⌠gloating about it now is in very bad taste.
To be fair throwing and catching the ball seems to be beyond most fellas in Rugby, itâs why the fellas 1-8 arenât allowed pass it too far or receive a long pass. They canât be trusted
One fella being able to throw, catch and kick the ball is so rare that only a few lads on each team can manage it.
Due to head trauma their long term memory isnât great so weâre just providing gentle reminders.
Ah leave off. Itâll be another 4 years before they bottle a quarter final.
Why did Ireland lose? They met New Zealand, the best side in the world, the back to back reigning World Cup winners and the most successful country in World Cup history.
When do the Brave and Faithful get back on the road for the Heino cup?
I asked you why they shat themselves this tournament ---- not just against NZ. No one is questioning losing to NZ, but the manner with which they shat themselves ⌠they were visibly shaking before the anthems.
Belvedere College is a typical North Inner City school alright
Belvedere College has a great sporting tradition. As well as Cian Healy in recent times, Dublin All Ireland winning footballers Ger Brennan, Eoin Murchan and Jack McCaffrey are former alumni.
Why did they meet New Zealand?
Because they shit their togs against Japan.
If they didnât meet New Zealand, it would have been South Africa in the quarter final - the second best side in the world, twice former World Cup winners and the second most successful country in World Cup history.
theyâd have been as well off not going at all.
Is Belvedere College fee paying? Would there be many students from the surrounding areas?
I was told most are from the Clontarf/Howth direction
Cian went to Belvedere, Kearney went to Clongowes, OâMahony went to one of the rugby âcollegesâ in Cork. The three Ulster chaps went to those oddball colleges in the North. Stander went to school in the bush. Four of them went to non fee paying schools in the 26 counties.
Belvedere is fee paying. They have a social inclusion program for inner city kids. Ger Brennan was on the social inclusion program. Cian Healy wasnât.
