Was jumping around the house doing Brogue Kicks like Sheamus in WWE.

Hit my noggin on a doorway and cut it open. On my way to hospital at the moment and I feel like an out and out retard.

If Ireland wins the next thread should be about potatoes. If France wins, about fromage

Reposting here for debating reasons;

-----

Ireland have always been absolutely shite at producing back 3 players.

Not trying to be le epic troll the Irish man but it's a real positional weakness for them historically.

I can name good Irish props/locks/backrow forwards, halfbacks and centres but who have they ever had in the back 3?

Bowe? Dempsey? Horgan? Lets be honest, none of those were ever really world class.

...

>If Ireland wins the next thread should be about potatoes

Id like to put in a vote here and now for every thread to be about potatoes whether we win or lose

God i love potatoes

Well done cunt.

Dragons v Leinster
HYYYYPPPPPPEEEEEE

>Ireland XV not being put into intensive care by the superior French pack.

As we know from empirical evidence, potatoes bruise easily.

>On my way to hospital at the moment and I feel like an out and out retard.

Nothing to be embarrassed about pal, you were just living the dream

Not even joking it's because we don't have enough of a dark skinned pool to choose players from. As more and more immigrants flood into our country i suspect we will start to see better quality backs coming down the line.

Feel sorry for the Sunwolves desu. No AAAWWWOOOOOOOOO for them this week :^(

Zebo's never really accomplished anything for Ireland. At 26 he's only managed 8 test tries and his form is really patchy. Seems to drift in and out of games.

I think he's fine, but my point is in general Ireland don't do great wingers or fullbacks. If you were naming great, world class Irish players you'd go for guys like Wood, POC, Willie John McBride, Sexton and BOD for example, but no winger or fullback would even come into reckoning.

It's like Wales. For all our great props and halfbacks and wingers we've never really done world class centres or locks. Our best lock ever is AWJ, and after that it's fucking daylight.

Or best centre ever is... Ray Gravel? Bleddyn Williams? Gavin Henson? Nobody really jumps out.

Shane Williams was a honky

>As more and more immigrants flood into our country

Europe is going nationalist pal, mass deportations are on the horizon

We're going to have to come up with our own backs

Id happily do without backs than have my country become an ethnic joke like some other countries

Gerald Davies?

Our country will be behind the curve as per usual, have you seen the "children" we are taking in currently from calais. Absolute fucking joke. Jee loads of other countries are suffering from taking in hoardes of muslim immigrants, what should we do? Follow suite of coures, we will be different.
I agree with you.

Who is Scott Gibbs?

Fucking catheren zapone.
Zebo's only good asset is his finishing, everything else is medicore to average. Saying that we still kinda need him.

You're in da club and this nigger slaps your qt gf's ass
What do you do?
Fyi he's 6ft 11' and 19st of pure Celtic muscle

I might be showing my ignorance here but didn't he mostly play on the wing?

Is he clearly the best welsh centre ever? Not sure.

He's got to be the least athletic looking athlete ever.

He looks like a 40 year old accountant who's about to walk in on his wife banging the next door neighbour.

He played in the centre a lot. Also played wing a lot as well though, but in that era it was mostly JJ and John Bevan on the wing

>You're in da club and this nigger

Dont be that idiot

You'd want to have some balls or suicide wish to be banging that things wife

Say that to me face ya fookin cunt

If I caused any offence I appologize.

He looks like a cuck. Admit it.

What's he going to do? Collapse like a Christchurch house when a small Australian first five tackles him?

>the old welsh "Shane Williams was good" meme

Really tickles my funny bone every time lads.

Shane Williams was literally, unironically the best winger ever

>He's got to be the least athletic looking athlete ever

>Fucking catheren zapone.

>"at no point in his career would Shane Williams have made the world XV, I mostly selected him as a joke" - Warren Gatland

Discuss.

Id like to counter your offer

Apart from when he was named IRB player of the year presumably?

>George Gregan was Justin Marshall's dancing girl, we only let him be a Wallaby out of pity
-Eddie Jones

>those forearms
>not athletic

Welsh attacking rugby died when Williams retired
youtube.com/watch?v=pZW6O5wxMxc

Blues' year lads.
(the SR team, not the seething Welsh casual)

Davey Wilson ends discussion

Died with the Roberts/JD2 partnership desu
and Halfpenny becoming a fullback rather than staying on the wing where he was an actual attacking threat.
I'd like to think a Scott (or even Owen) Williams/Beck partnership would work really well, but will probably never happen.

top notch trendy hairstyle

Nope. Habana and Rokocoko were better.

Giving someone IRB player of the year because they scored the most tries in the 6N by slamming in doubles against pies like Italy is like giving a retard the novel prize because they're the only one in sped that can spell cat.

>Rokocoko
>2008
lol stop talking shit

Habana got it in 2007 for
England x4
Scotland x1
Samoa x4
USA x2
Argentina x2

Williams got it in 2008 for
Scotland x2
Italy x2
Ireland x1
France x1
South Africa x2
Australia x1

Think Habana is padded with more pies Tbh

Habana got it in 2007 for being the player of the World Cup you mug.

Shane Williams has won exactly:

>0 world cups
>0 super rugby titles
>0 rugby championships

On second thoughts wales beat Australia in 2008 so he probably deserved it just for that. It's a rare achievement for wales.

And when finland wins?
oh

It's the Nobel Prize you casual fag. It isn't prestigious award anyway.

>And when finland wins?

We might be waiting a while

>american samoa
How far from actual samoa and why are they so much worse?
I thought islanders were good at this

>why are they so much worse?
>american samoa

No idea pal

>world class
>Sexton

Come on man, I know your trying to pander to the paddies but get real please. Sexton wouldn't even make the top 50 fly halves of all time. Literally an impoverished boyo's ROG.

>ROG
Couldn't tackle his way out of a kindergarten desu
Sexton is a more complete player and therefor better, the only aspect in which he is worse is injury problems.

USA and New Zealand poach all their players

>usa
really? lel

mmm what are you trying to tell me?

And why was he player of the world cup? He certainly wasn't as good all-round as Matfield for example. He got it for pumping tries into shitters and equalling Lomu's record.

Gentleben getting EXPOSED

more like mentalbender

>Literally an impoverished boyo's ROG.

Other way around, ROG has a lump of turf for a brain, how the fuck he's still in a coaching job is beyond me

I thought Racing only hired him as a translator for Sexton

Its only worth is the publicity and cash that comes with it 2bh.
Way back when it was worth heaps but since they have watered it down with bullshit it's not worth squat

It was never "worth" anything. Nothing is.

Woah...deep

#im12andthisisdeep

I went deeper in your mum last night.

>4 tries against the team that came second in the World Cup
>a double in the RWC semi against Argentina

Just made a pre-lunch scale model of Shane Williams' career lads.

I think the finnish poster is half maori, in which case his team (NZ) is elite

>4 tries against the team that came second in the World Cup
Scores in those games were
58-10 and 55-22
all at home
lul

Auckland Blues year lads.

Its the NIB Blues la

Can't wait for the landers to fuck over the queefs tonight so shitspouter finally shuts the fuck up

Can wait for you to stop mentioning him you seething casual.

Huehuehehehue hahaha you'll never catch me
I'm your worsest nightmare

trip ON

>This childish attempt at a false flag.

Fuck off you polesmoker.

>I leave the thread
