The Rugby Thread (Part 1)

Just the 3 non Irish starting on the Irish Rugby team these days and 2 on the bench. Massive strides being made.

They must have no one to replace Sexton at all, he starts despite looking like a bet docket at this stage through the abuse he was put through by Schmidt, and they have some English fella on the bench covering for him.

You’d feel sorry for Lowe stuck out there on his own.

Look at the head on the cunt, he’s after farting.

When are the subs not listed as “finishers”

Next week? Next month? I cant be sure mate.

Hopefully James Slow lifts a leg to track back in defence.

Will we win ?? Any prediction of the final scoreboard separation ??

Does sending Sexton out not fall under the realm of cruel and unusual at this stage?

I look forward to Gerry Thornley mentioning “x factor” when discussing James Lowe in his preview in the paper of record tomorrow,

Zebo used to have the x factor before he went to the Top Quatorze

Am I imagining it or has the hype gone from Irish rugby? It appears now that anyone I know doesn’t give a shit about it. Don’t know if it’s the lack of crowds, all the foreigners playing or a fatigue of hype followed up by under performance.

Its great anyway. Long may it continue

They can’t buy into Andy at all.

No fans. No beer.

I heard a bits of it on the radio during the week and the hyping up of it seemed extremely contrived.

The lack of fans at it has really shown it up. Most of crowd going were event junkies and no idea what it really was all about.

No water cooler due to wfh

I think all sport has been fairly low key the last year . It will be interesting to see what crowds attend at the lock down is over .

I’d agree with that.

Sport without fans isn’t sport at all. They are effectively just trying to keep industries afloat at the moment.

I don’t think there’s any real appetite for the GAA Leagues to resume without fans either at the moment.
