Ireland’s selection for Saturday’s rugby international with Scotland at Murrayfield, Edinburgh with twitter handles instead of names.
As you do.
That’s Proper Church.

Everything. As It Happens.
Poor old Sean O’Brien is the geocities of twitter handles..
Is it not in Murrayfield?
It is.

Em yes Aaron, it’s being played in Edinburgh, not Dublin.
If only there was some sort of clue in the picture that might hint at the stadium and city…
Can we please get thrashed so I dont have to hear any more of this drivel. Rugby is like soggy biscuit for D4 heads
You do know it’s a world cup year so this is just the appetiser, right? Prepare yourself for new kit launches squad announcements, warm up games, newspaper supplements, pool analysis (we just have to beat the French to avoid BNZ meeting before the final), etc. etc. as we trudge through the summer to the kick off in September.
you left out endless Sindo Life magazine WAG features
It’s not compulsory Fluffy, you don’t HAVE to comment on any rugby posts and in fact you’ll probably retain what little respect you have by not doing so.
@Repro oh I forgot about that
@Bacchus
I think you will find its better than having zero self respect buddy :)
Too late.
the pill is not 100% effective
Flaps
Anyone who starts a post (or sentence) with “I think you will find” is a complete and incurable twat.
If only terminations were legal earlier in the 20th century…
boring, tedious and irrelevant – your usual standard Aaron
even more respect for sexton after this.
A self confessed technophobe, doesn’t have any social media accounts.
They’ve been doing this for all team selections since the start of the championship. But all you soccer thugs are too busy drinking stella and chanting racist songs to realise that.
Ha. I’ll allow it. But watch it, we’re on broadsheet, so technically you’re slagging off a minority group here.
I like tho’
Too busy making smartarse gag out of stadium name to notice that it’s on in Scotland?
I support getting rid of this pointless twitter handles on the team sheet idea. Feckin 3
I really hope we can take the championship again, but I doubt it; we’ll have to beat Scotland by more points than either England or Wales beat France and Italy, and Scotland played well against England, even though they lost.
Not quite that simple.
We have to beat scotland by 4 more points that england have to beat france by
Wales have to put a cricket score on italy as they are 21 points behind us and 25 points behind england.
The points refers to points differnce obviously as all 3 teams are tied .
Just got a flashback from Saturday night (aka ‘delayed FEAR’), as I believe I was quite the expert on this matter at 12:30am.
were ye in a hoop?
canned
Wales beat Italy but fail to make the points + Ireland beat Scotland by 10 or so + France beat England = Ireland Championays!
Was it for this…..
I know feck all about rugby but surely Ireland ballsed up by not taking the three points on the 3 or 4 times they were offered them last Saturday?
Who made the call to kick to the corner?
Paul O’Connell?
RTE & every rugby fan in Ireland was too busy kissing his bottom not to notice….
They needed a try to win the game and would have had one in all liklihood if best hadn’t have had such a bad day.
What game were you watching?
They’re the 50/50 calls you make during a game. They kicked for the corner early in the second half which raised some eyebrows, and then some expletives when they went for the back of the line-out. Reckon Sexton knew he wasn’t at 100% to kick for goal.
What’s he doing on the pitch then?
Isn’t this why you bring more than 15 players!
It was a tactical decision to kick to the corner, not an injury enforced one.
He’s a good deal better than his replacements. The incident I was referring to was early in the second half – I wouldn’t be basing a decision on someone’s ability to play on their decision to go for the corner. Score there and it’s a completely different complexion on the game. You can argue whether it’s a right or wrong move, in general, all day long. He was eventually subbed off though, if you remember.
Not taking 3 points is always a bad decision unless you’re 7+points down with 15 minutes or less left on the clock.
Should be choosing Madigan as a 5/8 with henshaw outside to score tries and payne at 15, rob had a mare last weekend
+ 1 Also, Henderson for Toner.
fupp that stupid twitter teamsheet bullplop
