Re: |Schools cup 2017
What concerns me is that a school with 13 men in the Ulster set-up has been humiliated like that. Sure every team can have an off day, but that's beyond just an off day.
A team with that many representatives should be walking the competition no problem.

You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Some small consolation to them should be that they're a young team I believe and so should have another couple of bites.

Re: |Schools cup 2017
After my unusual participation in a schools thread, I understand that I was only partly right - rare though that cleary is. I understand that The Master Race tend to turn out a more rounded type of player, than those gowls slightly out of town up near Queens who make lads lives a misery.
Well done Inst, proof of the pudding and all that, a quare lacin' for the poor ould yokels from Outer Scotland biy.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Perhaps it might be a coaching problem?

What did bug me was the choice to sing a song to the tune of GSTQ by the BA kids. They had wee song sheets so it was pre-planned. Very disappointing.

Did they sing the national anthem, or a song using the same tune?
What were the words?
Are we afraid of a tune now?
