Does anyone else think itâs on the dodgy side of racist that the South Africans (of all countries) shout âBeastâ every time their big black guy gets the ball?
Is that Irelandâs sixth defeat in a row? Declan Kidneyâs services must be very close to being dispensed with by the IRFU. They will probably hold off for the time being though given theyâre in financial dire straits because nobody is buying tickets for these matches.
Tracey Piggott, English, Female, never played the game, doesnât know anything about the game. Ends up as an interviewer for Irish rugby. âWhat do you think of the stadium?â was probably her most incisive post match questioning of the Springboks there. What a joke this game is.
Is it true that thousands left at half time aswell?
No.
There werenât thousands there to leave.
Iâm pretty sure there was more than 2,000 at the game Farmer, but gas to see they didnt announce the attendance.
Also stadium workers moved fans from back of lower tiers down to front in an effort to make the stadium appear fuller. This plan fell to shit when ot started pissing down as fans just legged it back up for cover exposing the IRFUâs new clothes, hence making it appear as if a load of people left.
All round an embarassing day for Irish rugby and one that could be difficult to turn around quickly given the difficult games coming down the tracks.
Add in the crepe paper jerseys and itâs fair to say that the IRFU havenât looked this amateurish in years. Great stuff.
Hope they all managed to get out of the stadium alright.
According to the IRFU there were 35k people at it? Surely thats wrong? I would have thought 35k people would make Aviva look relatively packed.
Are you serious- stewards moving fans around so it would appear fuller. Great news that it backfired and the fraud was exposed. Canât believe the new stadium has repeated the mistakes of Croke Park and not put on a proper roof.
Is rugby still the heartbeat of the Irish nation?
As Guinness would make you believe
âThis is rugby countryâ :lol:
I wonder how many goms will turn up to see Samoa?

Iâd say theyâll pack it out with Busloads of schoolboys and pretend everything is hunky dory. However if all we can hear is the distinctive high pitched screams that make the Camogie final the spectacle that it is, then we will know the game is well and truly up.

Ireland certainly possess strike runners but are we capable of producing clean ball off the top and do we need another playmaker at inside centre? These are a couple of things that need to be considered in relation to the team this week. Of course the wider issue is that the public have seen through the facade eventually and are now turning away from this strange hobby in their droves.
Even the punters who did show up insisted on draining the last drop out of their gargle before going out to watch the second half.
Did anyone else hear about the roof leaking?
Was talking to an eye witness yesterday who told me that there was no one under the age of 21 at that match on Saturday. God be with the days when schoolboys used to be accomodated in the old schoolboy terrace in Landsdowne back in the days when the sheepskincoat-wearing mandarins of the IRFU cared about their fans. Itâs all about money now and ensuring theyâve enough of it to pay the latest ANZAC mercenary theyâve drafted in.
I suppose the Beer Cup is only be available on Murdoch Sport, further alienating the already pick-pocketed fans of this numbskull pastime. I havenât bothered to check, but that would be par for the course with the Irish Rugby Fuck U these days. Disgraceful scenes.
