@Bandage , lots of talk about “the match” amoungst my corporate breathern here today… we are playing “the scots” apparantly, a few sheepish looking “scots” wandering around in rugby jersies, brimming with defiant pride no doubt
on a semi serious note tho, i know very little about the standard of the scotland rugby team but i did think sean o rourke calling the “ireland” and england fixture on paddy’s weekend to be a grand slam decider to be a bit idiotic to be fair…
are all the rest of the teams in this really poor and is the excepted consensus that these 2 teams will win each game easily?
NO NO
its rugby, the accepted corporate game, rugby shirts tucked into Hilfiger jeans whilst trading office jargon with contemporaries is the order of the occasion
I find it most irritating on click bait social media sites that an increasing amount of gimps in the comments sections of rugby football articles are adopting the acronym “COYBIG.”
It should only be used - in an Irish international sport context anyway - by the association football team.
Watching the Six One sports news there. Clare McNamara reporting live from Murrayfield informed viewers that the women’s match is already underway and it’s live on RTÉ 2.
