Wales could take a year off and still have the same players.

Let's not forget that gatland Gatland is a gatland used to smacking Irish ar$es. I must say I guldered when he dropped that gatland O'Driscoll. The howling from the 4 proud provinces amused me greatly. Better still he was right, at that stage O'Ba$tard was hanging on damaging his legacy for a few more caps and moments in the spotlight. NOt worth his place in the Irish team. So good on yah Gats, ya Gatland.

However the current hysteria amongst Patricks is almost as amusing. Whilst I will find it hard to cheer against McCloskey, should he not be selected I'll find myself hoping that Biggar has a blinder, Alun Wynn is the usual cunning Gatland he is, that Tipuric shows his continued excellent and that wee Jac can get into the Irish back row and halves.

Looking forward to it, not expecting a Patrick humiliation, but ready and willing to laugh at it.

Bring them home ya FIRFUCs, you've ruined their best years, ya Gatlands. Does anyone know if Donal Spring has died in agony yet?
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.

Are you 9 ?
I'm guessing your mouth is nowhere near as big without the keyboard to hide behind but really, are you 9?

Is this a clumsy attempt to attract Baggy back on a regular basis with a pair of clown shoes under one oxter and an AK47 under the other?

Long gone are the days of Munster providing the pack and Mexicans providing the backs.

Big day for bealham. Wales will come after our scrum for sure. I would have been very tempted to put hendo in and move beirne to 6 for extra ballast but to be fair to POM he does usually bring something to the international game.

Now cola bottles, or those big jelly strawberries, they were great. And cola cubes.
