Yes, mate.
West Brits.
Are the soccer players west Brits too ??? They both play English sports.
No.
They don’t line out for a pub song and makey-up flag to appease the unionist community.

Ireland won an international test rugby match against the world champion New Zealanders.
Every test match is a competition in itself.
Ballyea beating Sars today > Oireland winning a friendly match in rugby.

That’s not correct Geoff.
A match is not a competition. A match is a match, a match played outside of a competition is a non-competitive match. Yesterday’s game has the look of a non-competitive match or a “friendly” as you will.
You view all sports through the prism of your sport soccer. In soccer everything has to be distilled into a result. If the match is drawn, in most knock out competitions they don’t even bother with replays now and use a lottery to declare a winner in a drawn game.
You don’t understand the culture of great sports like rugby and cricket. Presumably you condemn the magnificent dual that it is every five day test cricket match because there is no ‘World Cup’ or if a test cricket match hasn’t been won within regulation play within 5 days, they actually call it a draw and don’t resort to gimmicks like penalty shoot outs to declare a winner in a drawn game.
Rugby World Cups have only been around since 1987. British Lions tours stretching back to 1888 and the touring sides from the Antipodes playing test matches against their British Isle counterparts at this time of the year stretching back to Dave Gallaher’s Originals of 1905/06 are much bigger deals to rugby people than World Cups.
What competition was the game in mate?
You seem to be having problems relaying this point so I will allow you to clarify for the forum.
this is a decisive moment in this teams development, a monkey off our back, we could make the final in the next world cup
Steady on, mate.
They would need to win a knock out game for the first time in their history for that to happen.
The World Cup is three years away. A lot of hugely important rugby to be played before then. Lets just focus on the New Zealand game on 19 November and the defence of the Lansdowne Cup when Australia are the visitors on 26 November. There should be a strong Ireland contingent on the British Lions touring party to New Zealand at the end of this season as well.
Well you are actually a Brit?
I’m Italian.
I don’t think so. Your a Brit. So trying to insult someone by calling them a West Brit is hilarious
When it suits you.
