Gerry Thornleyâs 2 favourite sports are association football and tennis.
In fairness to burgess, he was basically a rugby league prop. Being a huge success in Australia is a major achievement for any lad from the English setup. His brothers are all out there as is his gf.
He was played at wing forward by bath, and then expected to carry the English backs to victory against world class union backlines. Jason Robinson was a success as he had phenomenal speed off the mark. Burgess just doesnât. He was Mike tyndall mark 2 only playing behind a pack that wasnât smashing anyone and everyone. He wasnât that bad imo. This smacks of teej throwing his own hand picked management team under the bus to save his own neck for another year fumbling in the greasy till.

Pascal Donohoe TD has stopped Munster rugby football from being saved by refusing to provide the funds for this motorway.
To kill off Munster rugby football for once and for all vote FG in the next election.

I guess the umbilical cHord was dreamed up by the reporter. It would not be in Foleyâs head
Cord. Umbilical cord.
The IRFU have taken their time and are now spinning all over the airwaves about concussion. They had a couple of chaps from IRUPA on with their new favourite mouthpiece Matt Cooper assuring listeners that the game had got to grips with concussion, players werenât getting bigger and there were actually fewer injuries in the game. You donât say.
I was informed by a reliable source that Sexton had indeed suffered a concussion against France and that Madigan had been concussed against Argentina but couldnât be taken off because they had run out of out half options.

Yes the IRFU have only now discovered concussion in rugby 
I would say the massive inferiority complex that many posters on this forum have about rugby is far, far funnier. And unlike your previous assertion, it isnât imagined and actually exists.
Indeed. Does Munsterfans, Leinsterfans et al have similar indignation as this forum and by association football journalists towards other sports?
Who the fuck cares?

"The shame of it is that we didnât make a semi final and possibly go further because I even see it on my road at home with my son and all his friends, theyâre rugby mad now after the World Cup.
Now, the soccer is back on and theyâre beginning to play a little bit more soccer and soon itâs going to be hurling. 
People talk about New Zealand and their skill level and where theyâre at, but the fact is to me that they are the Kilkenny of world rugby.
A New Zealander has probably accumulated hundreds, maybe even thousands of more hours of rugby than an Irish kid has and thatâs why Iâm disappointed we didnât make the semi final because we probably would have changed a little bit of that and probably I just think itâs part of new Zealandâs culture.
If rugby was our number one sport then Henry Shefflin would be playing rugby, heâd be playing first centre. 
The best brains in hurling would be in rugby. Youâd have Brian Cody involved and thatâs what they have in New Zealand, and thatâs what we donât have up here and for everyone involved in rugby thatâs the challenge, to try and make this game you want to see kids walking down the road holding a rugby ball. 
A kid growing up, I donât think his main goal in life in Kilkenny is to play for Ireland in rugby, itâs to win an All-Ireland for Kilkenny. So itâs a shame we let that shot go at changing peopleâs attitudes⌠We could have taken a big step in this World Cup and thatâs a shame."
Soccer and GAA will always be the peopleâs games, you uucoam.

Iâve always thought Paul was one of the decent ones. Came across as a down to earth and smart guy back in our school days but his comments across all the radio stations yday were a bit petty.
Does he not realise that the same arguement could apply for Australia, England, Scotland, France, Italy and Argentina. Not to mind the likes of Russia, Canada, USA, etc.
Heâd rather see one of the greatest field sports in the world suffer, a sport that makes the majority of Irish people very proud.
Open your eyes Paul, rugby is fucked. Parents are slowly turning their kids away from it and until the rugby powers do something, it will continue that way.

It was on OTB last night. He was giving a press conference to launch a new app for Pinergy.
You do, clearly.
