The IRISH RUGBY thread

Asked if he might be a potential contender in the event of a Wales coaching reshuffle following the national team's record losing run under Warren Gatland this year, XXXXX suggested that was not top of his priority list. "I haven't thought about that, to be honest with you," he replied. "Without lacking humility, I'd prefer Ireland, England or France."

Would anyone need more than one guess as to the identity of XXXXX?

He's an odious man. Really is.

Perfectly reasonable thing to say tbh. The WRU is a basket case and will be for years to come. Anyone taking that job would want to be in it because they've skin in the game as anybody else will be on a hiding to nothing.

I was at Leinster game yesterday. I've stood beside Joe McCarthy before and thought he was a monster, until I saw Snyman last night.

Christ what a lump and his skill levels!

Great aul evening for a casual fan and was there with my mate who brought his 2 little lads. You see the event rugby make of games really exciting the kids.

Aye he's f**king huge. You expect at 6' 9" that he'd be a big long drink of water. He's a beast.

[Wildweasel74]

He's big. but Cameron Skelton of Australia. makes even him look small.

[Captain Scarlet]

Some of his little offloads were class. Didn't realise his handling was that good.

[Truth hurts]

Now is the moment to catch up with the Irish team and join the bandwagon for tomorrow.

Yeah heading to pub, bite to eat and shout at the telly and ask why that foul was given lots of times

Make sure to respect the kicker by not talking in the pub during penalties and conversions and to ask others to do the same.

[Wildweasel74]

The rules are not that hard to pick up. Trying to follow the new fball rules is far worse.
