At least have the decency to spell your insult right you cretinous imbecile.
And I am correct in what I say, up until recently, the Rugby crowd have played the PR game expertly. They sold Munster Rugby to the GAA fraternity, and Leinster Rugby likewise. They even sold Connacht Rugby. None of them played it, but still followed it and supported it. They played on the bandwagon nature of the Irish (and quite frankly, most sporting people), and played it magnificently. Thats undeniable, a few cranks on this place cant change that, much and all as we like to think otherwise.
You disappeared on here at the height of the snow. Iâll wait to hear from the forumâs meteorological heavyweight @TreatyStones about what the weather has in store for Ballsbridge and itâs environs this Saturday afternoon.
At the same time the rugby footballers arenât getting bet by non-entities like Serbia and hammered by Denmark at home at the moment. So they will get an easy ride in the media. I seem to remember a fair bit of criticism for Joe Schmidt when they got dumped out of the RWC '15. Nuances like gameplans are probably a bit beyond the comprehension of a good swathe of the international rugby teamâs followers anyway.
Pointless dragging the GGA into the same argument because the top level is intercounty rather than international and is therefore a complete different ballgame.
Johnny Sexton was taking a kick in a match recently and when the camera zoomed in on him, you could see a portion of the crowd behind him, the majority of them were females recording the kick on their phones (not that this is exclusive to women).
