The IRISH RUGBY thread

Test Rugby is a bit more serious then a standard International soccer friendly. New Zealand were unbeaten in 2016 ,and pissed off with their performance.

Test Rugby?

Is this the sport that 8 countries take (somewhat) seriously?

Some people get their knickers in a twist about American football but only one country takes it seriously. The same could be said for gaa and Aussie rules. Rugby union is pretty global compared to most sports.

I don't.

I'm aghast at the level of attention this is getting so I'm enquiring into the competition they won or have progressed in but I'm being met with a wall of silence and irrelevant answers.

Generally there is some level of competition though.

What competition was yesterday's game in?

What competition was this in, lads?

Okay we get it, rugby isn't your thing. Just let the rest of us enjoy an incredible, historic victory for an Irish side. It was a test match which means it meant a lot to both teams. Other sports don't have an equivalent type of contest apart from maybe cricket. The adminiration of the Irish performance from the British press and the press down under shows the quality and level of performance delivered. For an Irish side to beat arguably the greatest side ever in any sport makes me feel really proud and should make everyone feel proud and elated.

That's fine and well but it doesn't answer my question.

What competition was this game in?

the McKenna cup

November test Internationals, played every year. Southern Hemisphere teams play 3 tests against the Northern Hemisphere teams.

Northern hemisphere teams tour the Southern hemisphere during the summer. Pretty rare a team from the South is beaten on home soil

Fair play to Ireland that was some performance.
