Tom McGurk is recalled for RTÉ’s promo of today’s final round of 6 Nations games.
Eight hours, EIGHT! of Pope, Hook and O’Shea in an orgy of eggball chit-chat.
Can you handle that?
Can anyone??

Rugby referee Steve Walsh
Controversial bearded boulevardier and ladies favourite Steve Walsh has called time on his rugby refereeing career less than a week after ducking out of officiating Ireland’s loss to Wales.
Steve Walsh citing personal business reasons for his retirement said:
I have lived my dream and I am truly grateful for every experience that I have had in rugby. It’s been an incredible journey.
Aww mate.

For the weekend that’s in it.
Saturday, February 2nd, 1980.
Ireland faced Scotland off the back of a whipping from her old master.
Ballerina-footed Ollie Campbell and the greased ferret like elusiveness of Colin Patterson lead the charge, backed by southern musclemen, Donal Spring and first-time in green try scorer Moss Keane.
Niall Kiely wrote in the following Monday’s Irish Times:
Our resident Scotsman in a busy restaurant came from Troon, and named, inevitably one-felt, Brown. He had found problems to transcend the day’s woes, one of which led him to beseech every woman present for a needle and thread – a terrace scrimmage had seen him split his only pair of trousers – yet further tragedy stalked in that he had belatedly discovered that Galway , where he wanted to visit an old flame, was not a suburb of Dublin.
Och!

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.
RUCK!
Thanks Shane Griffin
McGurk! You’re cut.
Ryan!! You’re in.
A passive aggressive defence of Joe Schmidt’s “kicking game” is the theme for RTÉ’s Jonathan Ryan-narrated promo ahead of Ireland versus Wales in Cardiff Arms Park Nua, Wales, today.
It gets results in fairness.

Thanks Richie McCormack
Update:
Wales win 23-16.
The breakdown; Ireland need to beat Scotland next week and hope other results go our way.
Easy, easy.
Metaphor-mangling, jock-voiced rugby analyst ‘Gerry Scrumley’ (no relation, etc.) gives a fittingly heroic overview of Sunday’s rugby international with England.
Stay for the ads.
Thanks Jack Jones
