You rugby fans are very touchy, one calls me a clown the other a tit.

I'm sorry but this sport is over hyped by the D4 RTE media most of whom came out of the same private schools your rugby heros did (except the imported ones).

So is today's game v USA a friendly but last week was competitive???

I know it's the one time of the year ye can't be bate by Roscommon but do you really have to take the opportunity to pick fights with everyone else?

Is it really that hard to understand Tests are competitive to varying degrees depending on the opposition? Bit like Championship, Armagh v Tyrone in 1st round of Ulster Championship beat lumps out of other, say the loser draws Waterford in the back door, same overall competition - different intensity and approach.

Your obviously not a fan of it - no problem - why do you feel the need to come on to a thread and WUM on a sport you dont like.  You made it quite clear you think the games is a friendly in your initial post - why do you feel the need to keep repeating that?

That's those big titted-clowns for ye, their need for a virtual fix is insatiable

I'm a sage sent to enlighten ye rugby boys with truth and wisdom. What sort of sage would I be if I gave up that easily.

Well if Waterford are beat that's their season over. If the good old US of A are beat v Ireland what happens next?

Rugby is the greatest myth ever told, over and over again. You want to believe it is a test and not a bigged up once off game, away with you, to me it's all a bit like the emperor's new clothes.
