The IRISH RUGBY thread

[Silver hill]

Does anyone know why there is not an all_Ireland senior schools cup competition for all the senior winners like the Hogan cup

.....I'd say old Chap, it's because nothing can quite surpass a Leinster Schools Cup medal in Irish rugby.🙄

The big Leinster schools would win it every year.

A bit like letting the Kerry intermediate and Junior Champions into the Munster and AI series.

Chatting to a mate last night who would be an ex club rugby player and always follows Leinster and Ireland

Just saying how the big hype band wagon is kinda gone. He was saying the day trippers who only care about the corporate sess have pushed out some fans.

Like there are lots of seats empty around restarts with lads just supping at the bar. And then it's a non stop flow of people up and down.

You'd need to remortgage the house to pay for the flights. We've looked a few years and it's just not justifiable

Not sure about Wales last try but they're sticking with them!!

You might not have made such a clown of yourself if you'd got your facts right

Some 2nd half so far

I flicked over to virgin media 2 to see what the score was in the challenge game with South Africa, what sort of ridiculous tops are they wearing. Anyway back ton rte2 for some competitive sport.

You do realise that Josh Van der Flier is Irish born and bred?
