I think it was that they wanted to play them after the haka.
🙁
Racist!
Nearly 4, I thought I'd have an extra one for luck. Do you think I could put it on credit?
Have I told you about my Irish passport? Parents from Dub and Kildare, one grandfather was a Colonel in the Irish Army, t'other was a humans right lawyer (honest in the 1940's) in Dubski. My brother lives in Skerries.
I'm not sure whether you're bullshitting me or not now 😐
England still my second team. I luv Tindall. Ashton = gr8.
From today's South Wales Evening Post:
[i]Felipe Contepomi remains hopeful of being fit for Sunday's vital clash with Scotland.[/i]
So Scotland may well be stuffed then? Would England have beaten Argentina if Contepomi had stayed on?
[i]Keith Earls has warned Russia that Ireland's backs are ready to explode when the two sides clash on Sunday.[/i]
Now that sounds dangerous and possibly a citable offence to me.
Keith Earls has warned Russia that Ireland's backs are ready to explode when the two sides clash on Sunday.
Earls 😆

Nope tis true. My old man did his training at Trinity, but his last year was at Dublin City Uni as they closed the vets dept at Trinity. As an Oirsih vet in Devon he has had some communication issues with the farmers broad Devski accent.
A farmer once gave my dad a present of some embroidery that said
"half past three"
My wife died of laughter when we are at my uncles place in Naas a couple of years ago and he was flicking through the TV guide and said "Ooh look Naked Gun 33 1/3rd is on later"
Some wags, funniest guys ever, I can tell you, used to like to ask me...Darcy, so you have a tenner, and you spend 6 pounds and sixty seven pence, how much have you got left?
Oh how we laughed.
Well I grew up with it, I think it's still funny!
My old man doesn't find Father Ted funny either. Mrs Doyle was an exact rendition of my Granny.
FT is fab, love it - but it never went down as well in Ireland.
On the morning of my great Aunts Funeral, we were at my Uncles in Naas, my uncle got us up, got grandad up and dressed (fairly done over with parkinsons byt hsi stage), made us all brekfast, waiting for a bit, we are all dressed up for the funeral, uncle brings out tea and cake - we duly dig in. Grandad Pipes up
"What time is dis funeral?"
Uncle "11am"
Grandad looks down at what he is wearing with surprise, looks at watch and its 7:45 am and the church is a ten minute walk.
"Ya f.e.c.king eejit"
My Mrs thought she had been transported to Craggy Island in a dream.
Sitting here at a terrace cafe in Paris, sipping a nice cold beer, can I just say.....
[b]ALLEZ LES BLEUS![/b] for this weekend?
🙂
Allez Les Plastiques 🙂
Do they have any potatoes in Brizzle?
🙂
Racist. 😛
EDIT: Fifteenundred...a

Did you know they aired Allo Allo in both France and Germany?
Flash - what do you actually do? Are you ever at home? You remind me of one of those suitcase-living businessmen in films who don't actually have a home...
Tindall, Cueto & Wilkinson starting against Romania. Could be DULL.
McCaw to be first AB to get to 100 caps against France. Love him or hate him, that is one remarkable achievement.
At home right now, as it happens. With a cold beer. Which is nice.
So, tomorrow...
SA v Namibia? One way traffic, I fear.
Sell lots of stationery in France O'Flashearty?
Beaucoup, mon vieux, beaucoup....! 😉
Meanwhile in twitter news:
@sebchabal
Demain, c'est repos. Voilà qui tombe plutôt bien.
For those wondering - it wasn't the chip van on fire last night it was simply a scrub fire that looked worse than it actually was. So you can sleep easy 😉
Do they have any potatoes in Brizzle?
Nah; blight killed em all.
In other news TJ was seen boarding a plane for NZ with a feather duster...He is going to sneak up on Contemponi and....
Seriously we are screwed if he plays; As soon as he went off Argentina were beaten. Despite any claims otherwise, that was NOT an Argentinian 1xv we beat.
I'm mildly concerned about Sundays game. We've instigated a complete Blueout in the house and are having a mid-afternoon haggis neeps and tatties afternoon tea with belhaven heavy and some nice malts prior to departing to the macs Brewery for further 'refreshments'. We will then head towards the stadium under escort from the massed pipes and drums and have our own piper with us who will be getting into the stadium by hiding his pipes up his kilt. He will then serenade us with do ya think I'm sexxy far too many times before he passes out.
I'm going to get moderately tipsy and enjoy the spectacle. Go Scotland.
Scotland XV for Arg:
Paterson, Evans, De Luca, Morrison, SLamont, Jackson, R Lawson(c), Jacobsen, Ford, Cross, Gray, Hamilton, Strokosch, Brown, Barclay.
Are duckman and TeeJ really that worried about Dr. Phil playing?
EDIT: Oh, and have a good trip duckman. 🙂
Contepomi? Not really.
Slightly perturbed by the selection. I don't think Patterson should be there - he is there as a kicker because of doubts over Jacksons kicking. I'd prefer Lamont. Shame no place for Ansbro as well.
Still - a strong and most importantly a mobile pack, a half back pair who can pass, a decent mix of power and speed in the backs.
Game plan must be to move the ball around the park to keep it away from the Pumas pack and to play a territorial game. Turnovers will be key as ever
Stupidly, I have a long meeting scheduled right over the match this morning!
Unlikely to miss much, though....!
Got talking to an Aussie while waiting for my train last night. He was genuinely concerned about playing the US. As in, he really seemed to think there was a chance of an upset. 😕

See what happens when an Aussie tries to do "modesty"? 🙂
😆
I will be starting a 151km 1900m climbing Sportive in Bristol just as Scotland are kicking off. Jesus, the things I let myself get talked into without checking calenders first.
At least I'll get to see the Ireland Ruskis game - D'Arcy, O'Connell and Bowe all doubtful for that one. Nothing to worry about...of course 😕

Hence the 😕 you eejit O'Flashearty 😛
Idiotist! 😉
I know what you mean about things getting stuck in the calender (sic). I've managed to get myself in totally the wrong time zone for most of the group stages!
Nice little blog about possibly one of the greatest games of rugby ever. It's one of the games that I can remember exactly where I was watching it.

bumping on
Pah I'm in the same boat for the Eng vs Rom game on Sat, wife has arranged something for me at 8am.
Come on Namibia, you can do better than that!
(South Africa are my 20th favourite team in the RWC.)

Yeah I remember it vividly too.
Slightly more off topic is this [url= http://www.lerugby.co.uk/index.php/features/39-les-heros/448-les-heros-grand-chelem-1977 ]Great Article[/url] (complete with videos) about the French Grand Slam of 1977. I stumbled across it when reading about prop Gerard Cholet - ex paratrooper & heavyweight boxer - infamous for knocking out FOUR Scotchmen in one match that season. 😯
You gotta love the French!
Anybody else watching the RSA/Namibia game? Has to be one of the least great games ever - unless you like watching lots of tries being scored with little opposition. Namibia getting completely dismantled here, and I'm wondering what record scores are.
Watching it on & off. Not great. Wondering how ITV will fit all the tries into their crappy highlight show!
NZ got 145 against Japan a while ago, that'd take some beating!
I know it was Namibia but Bokke showing some good play
I missed that game NZ v France in 1999, was on a train to Brighton for a week on a course. Was that confident ! Wandered into the hotel and ran into some French guys, foolishly asked them what the score was. Thought they were joking...
Roll on a week and BF at the time (not for much longer) meets me off the train in a French Rugby top. Not funny. Never funny.
The video tape of that game went out the flat window eventually and got run over by a Lothian Bus, after one taunting too many. Still not funny !
And there you have it in a nutshell the average AB supporter has no sense of humour when it comes down to rugby 🙂
