any kerry men going for AS in a row ??

seanie - if it was at markivicz (sp) i would, but it's the driving bit i don't like the thought of. will have just arrived after a 3 hour journey and with a monday off i don't intend wasting it so  i will be having a few pints. thats why im after the high stool somewhere with a bit of atmosphere.maybe get the gaa crowd coming back after the match to hear the slagging. maybe you wouldnt get that in sligo !!

Any of you lads from the west reccommend the best bar to watch the match on sunday in Sligo - preferable walking distance from the Sligo City Hotel. Cheers

If Portglenone win, there is no way the hurling will start on time !! 1st championship in history, the stewards wont prevent a pitch invasion and they will be in no hurry off it. if St Galls win, different story.

O'Driscoll injury scare for Irish 

Brian O'Driscoll was forced off during training in Bordeaux
Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll is an injury concern for the crunch World Cup clash with Argentina on Sunday.
The Leinster centre limped off during Monday's training session after taking a bang on his right knee.

Munster hooker Jerry Flannery is also a worry after suffering a neck injury in a heavy collision with Simon Best.

Fly-half Ronan O'Gara (calf) and full-back Girvan Dempsey (collarbone) sat out training with injuries picked up in Friday's 25-3 defeat by France.

Flannery was floored by the impact with Ulster hooker Best before returning to his feet several minutes later.

An ice pack was placed over his neck and he took no further part in the session in Bordeaux.

Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan names his team for the Paris showdown with Argentina at lunchtime on Tuesday.

The Irish will have to score four tries and beat Argentina by more than seven points in their final match to reach the quarter-finals.

The defeat by France followed unconvincing wins over Namibia and Georgia in Pool D.

We are probably fecked anyway, but if this is the case, then theres probably no chance !!

i dont know 23 points is a lot to claw back, esp as you have most of my main men too - could you not transfer a few aussies for a few irish
i noticed maigh eo sneaking up.
i think my mistake to have no kicker in week 2 could come back to haunt me! and last thurs i had martyn williams in and changed him to charvis at the last minute
good craic all the same, gives a bit of interest to make up for the irish performances

"As for the sport, I love watchin the top super league sides, great game when two sides are evenly matched"

No doubt then Dinny you will tuning in this Friday, top 2 meet St Helens / Leeds - winner through to Grand Final, loser to play Wigan / Hull winners.

Clashes exactly with England / Tonga in RWC, but as i said, thank God for Sky +.

I was leading on Sat afternoon, but by yesterday you had overtaken me.I thought because i had 8 playin yesterday i was in a good position only to discover that your 4 aussies were the same as mine plus ali williams + richie mccaw
i was relying on carter + sivivatu to edge me ahead but carter kicked poor and sivivatu dropped everything. Howlett scoring 2 didn't help either. where did you pull them argies out of - good move.

Was goin to post earlier aswell Homer. Do you realise that our wee battle aside, you are in position 215 out of 10,000+ with a trip to Oz for the winner !! BTW the S McErlean in 3rd place is me! I entered a team from my wifes computer too just for the craic so now im juggling 2 teams every week! was thinking of just concentrating on one and try to reel you in !

whatever happened to the london broncos ? didn't they win a grand final ?

turk you must be a hard hoor if you played that game. its savage
gnevin, im a massive union fan too and agree about no rucks, mauls etc. but what do you mean no proper tackles.maybe turk can give you an example !!

Just curioius is anyone really interested in this game. I know there are a lot of rugby union fans on this board, me included, and this is a completely different game, but i have really got into this over the last season. The super league in england really throws up some great games, none more so than the 1st play-off game on friday night past, when bradford at home were 30-6 up against wigan with an hour played and lost 30-31 ! fantastic stuff. the season is near over but if your bored on a friday night and not going out, it is worth tuning in to. Anyone else watch it ?

If the real Ireland turn up, i.e v England @ Croke Park, 2nd half v France @ Croke Park or last years Autumn internationals then we will win by 7 - if all the the rumours are the real reason for the 2 poor performances so far - beat by 20+ !

But how can they not give a crap in a world cup game ? a few people are suggesting this, that they intentionally aren't firing on all cylinders and were saving themselves for the last 2 games, but surely this is impossible. 12 months ago we beat SA and Aus and were 2nd fav for the WC, now this last fortnight has been a disaster. I hope O'Gara and the boys have a blinder tonight. If they get slaughtered and also lose to Arg, then EOS has a lot of explaining to do on his return home.

He is ALLEGED to have 250K of gambling debts. Good piece on IT4 last night where the journo who wrote it had to be ushered out of the press conference before there was a scrum. It seems to have united the irish team as EOS said "you say something bad about one of us you say it to us all" !!
