Stade Francais and Racing 92 to merge. Seems strange.

Rugby. What a joke.

Two of the biggest franchises in French Rugby merging due to lack of interest.

[myboyblue]

Time to merge Roscommon and Leitrim.

What you mean?
Is Leitrim not already part of Roscommon?

@myboyblue

Time to merge Roscommon and Leitrim.

Be more like merging Dublin & Meath.

And Laois/Offaly

[anon61956325]

Ah ffs, is Laois not in Offaly ?

[myboyblue]

@balbec

And Laois/Offaly

The correct way of saying it would have been, Laois and Offaly, to say Laois/Offaly would suggest its already been merged.

We have our sights set on Carlow anyway. The forward movement in the annexation has begun.

@balbec

And Laois/Offaly

Laois/Kildare would be a better fit. Both populated by cunts.

Irish rugby is in such a state they had a player from the women’s team on the Morning Ireland telling them how they could fix things

They had a lady rugby player on the radio Saturday as well with helpful advice for the men as well. In fairness the ladies showed the men how to get the job done in Wales at the weekend.

She had Marcus Horan fairly tongue-tied anyway. Marcus was explaining how well Ireland had defended when she asked him how that could be when Wales had scored 3 tries.

There’s nothing in Kildare for us. At least Carlow has an auld IT. We’ll have that.

The game next week is still being hyped as a “massive game”
Going by the sports pages of the Times yesterday you’d have thought Ireland still had a chance of winning the title.

I’m going to enjoy the sombre mood at the legends dinner on Friday.

The moral victory is very important.

Ah it’s a massive game in fairness, with the grand slam on the line.

The men’s game will be a damp squib though.

Oh, we have a men’s team too?
It’s outrageous that they don’t get equal coverage.

[Bandage]

The versatility of the Irish rugby football follower is admirable. We got beaten in the men’s. Shit but the U20s are going great guns. Did you not hear? They lost too. Shit but the women are going for the Grand Slam. Happy days!

They do it for provinces and competitions too. There was a period over the past few years where corporate customers started haranguing professional services firms all over Dublin for Rabo Pro 12 tickets.

This happened when the provinces were failing to compete with the English and French sides in the main competition so the followers decided the lesser competition was actually more important.

The wheel is slowly turning. People can smell the bullshit now and can see through the marketing machine and spin that reverberates around rugby. It is starting to gain a bit of traction in the media too thankfully. A good hiding by England on Saturday will hopefully consign the “team of us” to also rans alongside Italy.

I heard that, she made a right fool out of him. Horan thought using rugby spoof might distract but she ran rings around him. She seemed to be fuming at how bad they were and was taking none of Horan’s nonsense.

he is a rugby dullard though- no biggy

funny how trap got more stick for winning that that cunt schmit gets for losing
