Sean must be the only one who doesnāt know who the new captain is judging by his interviews over the past 24 hours.

Poor Sean.
Ultan Dillane, Josh van der Flier, CJ Stander and Stuart McCloskey the new caps in the Irish squad. CJ being the naturalised Irishman, all others possessing of strong Irish blood.

Leinster are one of the most successful teams in Europe and are net exporters of talent, why wouldnāt other European teams be envious of them? Got many other teams better than that Fagan?
They only play rugby in 4 european countries mate.calm down with the hyperbole

2 of those 4 countries arenāt really countries either.
So which of those other countries then?
Whatās the story with this GARRY Ringrose, fella?
I presume heās a proddy bastard given the double ārā in his name.
Donāt think so. Blackrock boy. And grandson of the former head of the Army Equestrian School Captain Billy Ringrose. Very much an alright sort too by all accounts.

Informative rating.
Maybe you or one of the rugby football aficionados could help with a query as follows:
Has the Irish national rugby football team ever won a decisive knock-out game in its history?
Not counting games in the annual spring invitational friendly round robin or group games that werenāt ādo or dieā in the world cup.
I think Ireland might have had to beat Georgia or Romania or someone to qualify for a world cup around a decade ago. Any other games?
Iām pretty sure Munster beat the All Blacks mate.
I specifically mentioned the national team, pal.
A ādo or dieā group game against Wales in the 1995 World Cup which they won by one point.
The answer is no. The world cup is only in operation since 1987. As you know Ireland have never gone past 1/4 final stage
Lost a playoff as well in 1999, I think against Argentina.
Canāt remember Ireland winning a knockout game. But I think as a nation we are more suited to the Champions League type format.

France went through to the next round.

Did we not have to qualify in 2003?
Group games are not proper knock out games.
Yes and we were battered to shreds for the next game Its the game we play Iām afraidā¦
