Spotted during Ireland’s loss to France at the 3rd/4th place play-off in Paris at the IRB Women’s Rugby World Cup.
Never mind.

What is to love about that? It makes no sense.
Well done to the women. 4th place which in a sport that has 8 counties that tale it seriously.
OK, we get it. You don’t respect women’s rugby. Seriously, you need to let this go.
Do Israel okay rugby?
I bet there’s a Palestinian women’s rugby team, right? They’d wear the Gaza Strip.
You might need to rephrase that. What are you talking about?
(That was directed at Bringer, by the way)
Howard Joel Wolowitz would approve.
Ah now, Jock, I hate rugby as much as the next guy, but the achievement from the Ireland women’s team is fairly impressive. They beat the best team in the world (right?) which is something the men’s team has never done. They have also reached the semi final of a tournament, which (again) is something the men’s team has never achieved.
All in all, fairly impressive. Regardless of whether you like rugby or not.
They played three big rugby nations in this tournament and lost 2 of those games. NZ didn’t get to the semis so I don’t think you can call them the best team in the world. That was a grant win I will admit. I wouldn’t be blown away if the men beat the kiwis either. It’s incomparable to say Ireland beating England in the cricket world cup.
Jock, the New Zealand women’s rugby team hadn’t lost a World Cup game since 1991. Ireland only played their first international in 1993. It’s a fantastic achievement.
Sponsored by the IDA that win was it?
What’s impressive about it? You could say the same about tiddlywinks.
exactly. .. and it’s good rugby :)
replying to Eliot obviously
Who cares about a lame game like rugby anyway? Garrison town game for oul wans more interested what kind of contract they can get for advertising hair gel or tampons than displaying any real skill.
*yawn*
Ah jeez, someone let the GAA gimp cage open again !
Ridiculous.
