I’m a mouse with two hamstrings…
I let myself down badly earlier.
I was told by a colleague Peter O’Mahony was out.
I stood there blinking trying to remember who this Petet O’mahony we worked with was and why it was relevant to the meeting we were going to.
Eventually “from the rugby” was tailed to the sentence.
“Oh ok” I said glad a co-worker was not unwell and we had a full complement for our meeting.

Much nicer than that French one you had

Great to see another supporter of the Ireland association football team celebrating qualification for Euro 2016 by putting up a picture of the French flag as his Facebook profile pic.
We’ll miss Sean O’Briens ability to get on the front foot.
Delighted for Mad-Dog
Henderson brought huge intensity to the breakdown
The great thing about Rugby is 95% of people talking about it have absoloutely no clue what’s going on.

If we collectively recognise the fact you’re posting about Northern Irelands soccerball team will you cease and desist from posting the shite?

No.
This is so true. If you start spouting pure lies it won’t matter, its how you say it. Like working in consulting I guess.
I think the beauty of rugby is that you don’t have to be talented or need great coordination to play it. There’s a position for everyone, All hands on deck and lets heave in the right direction. Great team sport.

Just like Gaelic Football
Yeah, lads playing the game for the first time in their late teens can become heavily capped players…just highlights how little skill is needed for the game…
if you say so
@Sidney - Is this set up now for a return of Drico (Drics) to save the day in what could be the greatest sporting story ever told?
I’d prefer to see Frano called up as a direct replacement for POC.
It’s very similar to that thread on work place jargon and I’d say there is huge crossover between Rugby “supporters” and “jargonists”.
No one ever offers a real opinion on Rugby like say Heslip was shit yesterday, because they know they can’t back it up if called out on it so they all talk in vagueries like “massive intensity” and people “fronting up”. “breakdown” “go forward ball” “getting through the tackles” “unseen work” “great in the offload” “recycling well”.
There are of course people who know rugby (generally they have played it at some level) but they are in the minority big time.
Gary Kirby is spinning in his grave.
Like most hurling fans.
Sporting ignorence is not special to rugby.its common in all sport.
A few lads that went to fee playing schools and the dockes and bin men of Limerick…after that there isn’t many lads who have played the game.
