For the weekend that’s in it.
March 16th, 2013.

Gerry Thornley holding back his tears wrote:
The most dejected trudge yet from the dressingroom to the coaches in the tunnel of the Stadio Olympico fittingly resembled another scene from MASH. A dazed and Luke Marshall followed by Keith Earls, his arm tucked under his tracksuit top. Luke Fitzgerals went by on crutches, his leg entirely encased. The ravages of the Six Nations campaign will be felt for some time.
A host of new men have been thrust into this ravaged squad, with the carnage of Saturday providing them with scenarios that they could not of imagined or experiencing in their fledgling careers to date…

Yup.
The Italians can be tricky at home,particularly against a demoralised Oirish side whose blithe assumption of a stately process through the 6Nations was kicked inot touch and out of the stadium by the Jocks.
Ireland need to win big with a bonus point.
Rugby journalism really lends itself to hyperbole
Unlike football journalism of course..
From my gob to yours Cussie
BTW I only have to hear Gerry Thorny speak to know I’m right about Rubbie
Hopefully Gerry didn’t actually write that car crash selection of spelling mistakes
Per favore, ragazzi…that headline should read: La Forza del Destino
The over hyping of this team prior to the start of the competition made the Scottish victory all the more sweeter, it’ll be 24mths before we have to suffer that grand slam bull crap again
Even better, we’re playing the blushirts this weekend
Sur why would the Ireland Bawllers even be arsed FFS
There’s nothing worth winning left
Well, apart than the actual tournament of course.
Shooooouuuulldddeeeerrrrrr!
Haaaahhhaa

If you despise rugby so much Frilly, why do you usually go to the bother of making snide and patronising remarks on rugby-related articles?
Because it annoys stuck up pretentious little
Nanny goats so much?
