Not sure if you spotted this yet. A brilliantly awful (and slightly racist) promo video by USA Rugby for the upcoming June games with Ireland.

Saturday Night Special
For the evening that is in it.

For the weekend that’s nearly in it.
March 19, 2000.
Ireland is gorging on foreign direct investment, near full employment and mounds of cocaine flown in by private jet.
A nation turned its lonely, puffy eyes to Paris.
Where a stocky tyke in a loose-fitting Irish jersey and tinted highlights entered the hairy cauldron of the Stade de France.
He was a very modest 21.
“I won’t say the French played poorly. We just hung in with them and emerged the better team on the day,”
To top off a great weekend Geri Halliwell’s ‘Bag it Up’ hit number one in the Irish charts.
Bon times.

The Ireland rugby team who played England in Lansdowne Road, February 5, 1977.
We lost 0-4.
Good, hairy times.

Can He Flick It?
Indeed and he can.
Simon Zebo’s jammy backheel flick leading to Cian Healy’s try against Wales in Cardiff this afternoon.
He’s from Cork.
We’ll literally never hear the end of it.
Final score: Wales 22, Ireland 30.

Tap And Go
A decent RTÉ promo for their 6 Nations coverage, narrated by Tom McGurk.
‘Bonus point’ if you can name the music used.
