The IRISH RUGBY thread

You'd have to go back a good while for as uninspiring an Ireland half back combination as that

Back to the early 90s I'd say

Ralph Keyes and Gus Aherne springs to mind

Brian Smith and Rob Saunders too

They are definitely an uninspiring "Ireland" half back combination even if they aren't an Irish half back combination.

More Irish than some of our association football lads over the years

They're lacking in experience but sexton and Murray have been living on their reputation for a while IMO.

[bannside]

John Cooney would be my first choice all day long.

Not really.  Rugby can't even play Amhrán na bhFiann at all their games because of their lack of Irishness.

The Irish rugby team is a 32 county team

Of any of our international teams, they are the truest representation of Irishness

Amhrán na bhFiann is not the anthem of the 32 counties and it is rightly not played outside Dublin

I don't think it should be played in Dublin either

What shit.  Ulster rugby players view themselves as British not Irish.  Interesting that Sid should think that GAA members can not play Amhrán na bhFiann in Doire or Ard Mhacha. Racist.

"What shit" is an appropriate enough description of your post

And it's nakedly partitionist and sectarian, rejecting all the diversity of Irishness in favour of a turgid demand for a crushing monoculture

Not is you went to school there.  Do your homework for f**k sake.

[An Watcher]

Think Ireland could be in for a real pasting on Sunday. France are 5/2 to win by more than 13.  That'll do me.
As for anthems, that Irelands call is the saddest, lamest excuse for an anthem I've ever heard. Play whatever they want but also Amhrainn ma bhfainn.

I agree - apparently the Munster players hate Ireland's call!!

Typo, as you know. So, where did Tommy go to secondary school?
