Re: Emerging Ireland

From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!
Re: Emerging Ireland
More to the point, what the hell's happened to Russia? They were improving last season; I know that was a strong Ireland side and the lads played well, but ffs???

Re: Emerging Ireland
I guess either Russia conceded, or the IRB saw some sense

Re: Emerging Ireland
What happened to Russia
An old players nightmare -- a young team with pace who once the first line of defence was broken the Russians found themselves with a ball carrier and two supporting players.
Two Trys like that and old men fold

Re: Emerging Ireland
Is our back row playing as tom kite as it looks on a team sheet?mea97mb wrote:Ireland leading Uruguay 7-3 early on, Gilroy with the try!
Let's be honest, none of the 3 starters are in the top 10 back rows on the island
Now if Dougall wasn't a sell out, he might make the top 8
Incase anyone doesn't see this
SOB
Heaslip
Henry
POM
Ruddock
Ryan
Hendo* (is a 4, but I am proving a point)
Copeland
Murphy
Diack
Wilson
Dougall
O'Donnell
Coughlan
Butler
So our "emerging" 8 is actually 15th best back row in the country.
Imagine the SID we would have if Pollock and Ferris were still around
Re: Emerging Ireland
Final score 51-3, can't give a report as the stream was so bad had to turn it off.

Re: Emerging Ireland
Looks as if these Grp 2 (?) countries are no longer up to giving a 3rd string top 8 team a game.
