im not a big rugby fan but i watched france-wales last night and it was x-rated ,from what i hear ireland have a great chance of landing it this year,versus england in any sport is always a reason to shout so am looking foward to this one,trying to block out todays result !!
I watched the Ireland/Italy game 2 weeks ago. Anybody know were the tricolor was? The anthem was missing too. Its a fu*king disgrace if you ask me.
We are an all Ireland team for Rugby, hence the Ulster players playing so for away games Irelands call is played and no tri-colour
We are all Ireland in Olympics too. To sacrafice everything we stand for because a couple of Ulster men want to throw a funny ball around the pitch is not good enough. Let them know the rules and if they dont like them. Tough
A flag and a song? Not really sure what you mean. Anyway, sh1te game and even though it looks like we'll win, it wont cheer me up one bit.
turned into a war of attrition in the second half,o driscoll is a warrior,looked as if he was semi concussed the last 25 mins.
Unbeilievable performance from John Hayes today. Where does such a big man get stamina like that. Full of heart, passion and pure pride in the shirt he wears. And we have to watch Ryan Babel!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed the game today, great performance against a well organised english team... Let's just hope ROG doesn't have a game like that again...17 points is alot and would have cost us in many games...but i'm sure it only proves we're all human...
Great victory, very proud of them, wonderful chance of a slam now. The whole country needs a left, this would do nicely.
+1-love and agre with you!banishing amhraim nabhfiann and tri colur for a ways is scandalous imo. habvin a curry now mmm
BOD was immense today, a center on top of his game. He dished out and took some major blows, and was the difference in the absence of ROG's usually excellent kicking. We'll take a win against the Auld enemy everyday, and it slightly eased the pain of Liverpools result... slightly mind you.. Good to know at least one team I support are still in a title race...
Have to admit, when it comes to the rugger I am a bandwagon merchant. I was in Aus for 2003 rugby WC and before that I never watched a full match in my life. Got into back then, but 2007 world cup was a massive let down and not watched any games since until yesterday. Was good win yesterday and would be great for the country if win the grand slam. the fact though that the country's national anthem cannot be played away from home is beyond believe though.
Everytime i hear the both songs played together, i think to myself that all the away fans must reckon that Ireland's call is the english version of amhran na bhfiann...
