Rugby world cup

[muppet]

It is not often we lose two big games in a row and it is do or die now for the Frogs.

wee bit racist there?

Good grief 

[hoopsaaa]

Mee thinks we will be world champs. No shit

[CiKe]

we may go through, we may not, I said a long time ago that I didn't think we would and that expectations back home were ridiculously misplaced. However if we ae fortunate enough to get through and avoid the All Blacks, chances are we'll be playing Italy not Scotland...

Lads TV3 coverage is a disgrace, they aren't showing one match at all today ffs.  I dont have Setanta either, could someone tell me is UTV on the Sky Box, I thought it was but cant find it...

[MayoMan]

[SuperSub]

Why are the BBC,UTV and Sky referring to Ireland as one of the 4 Home nations?

Anyone got a answer?

[Galwaybhoy]

Finally got UTV by adding channels to my Sky Box.

This is going to be a hammering.  38-0 and only 19 minutes gone...

[SuperSub]

All Blacks 38
Italy         0


After 19mins of the first half..
I don't know much about rugby but do The All Blacks even have a full team out?
Whats the point of having games like this its ridiculous

Why are the BBC,UTV and Sky referring to Ireland as one of the 4 Home nations?

From Wikipedia Online Encyclopedia
Home Nations (often written as the common noun home nations) is a term used to refer to the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom — England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — collectively but as separate entities, distinct from the United Kingdom as a state.[citation needed]

The term is also used to refer to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland (i.e. the whole island: both Northern Ireland and the Republic) together. However, Ireland is generally only included when referring to sporting events, mainly rugby union but sometimes other sports. Its usage is rare (especially outside the UK) and somewhat controversial in some quarters,[citation needed] although it is more common in sporting contexts.

Occasionally the term Home Countries is used.[1]

Bit Controversial........!!
