The Rugby Thread (Part 2)

[Realbhoy]

Will be 225€ next year if the finances don’t improve😂 I’m surprised the IRFU don’t get one of those private fund managers from Bank of Ireland or some such in to manage the finances, surely one of them would have a grá for the rugger set, maybe even played a bit himself? What could possibly go wrong?

They are clane fucked Id say

That’s about 6 million quid loss a WC game. Jaysus.

[Diabhal]

I’d like to see our rubby heroes going out fundraising for these warm-weather camps in future. Particularly small ladeens like Craig Casey would get a huge amount of sympathy shaking bucks in any Supervalu across the country.

Just as well they never have to budget beyond the Quarter Final

[Tim_Riggins]

You mean the same budget cycles since 1987?

No shit gate money is important.

GGA turnover 2022: €96m
IRFU: €90m
FAI: €54m

I see Farrell put Crowley up for media on Tuesday.

Just to try and humiliate the lad a little more.

Calvin Nash left camp during the week too. Had enough of it.

[Tim_Riggins]

What’s the issue? They can charge that money because there’s a market for it.

There would be a similar market for Irish football if we didn’t have the likes of people called @Realbhoy who choose to spend money on British football teams.

Tom Grace was some operator.

He walked out? Doesn’t say much for him. You probably shouldn’t post things like that about players. Especially when it’s probably not true.

The manager bizarrely ignored him for the entire camp for no apparent reason.

[glasagusban]

Because he has better players available?

[Tim_Riggins]

Seems to be a bit of a trend of that with Munster given the talk surrounding Rowntree? That’s before you consider the treatment of some of the previous coaches by the players, media and supporters.

When you want to win trophies you don’t need choir boys.

Why would you completely ignore somebody because there is better players available?

[Tim_Riggins]

1 in ten years suggests it hasn’t really worked.

Real Madrid notions with Valladolid credentials.

[glasagusban]

I dunno. Maybe he wasn’t training well? Are there any other players on the squad that didn’t get a game?

Didn’t a couple of players go back to provinces with URC games this weekend? Timoney, Nash, Baird etc

As in any other case, just because they can, it doesn’t mean they should. I think the autumn international pricing is borderline scandalous. You could get a good seat at Bruce Springsteen cheaper
