Winning the Six Nations is not like winning the Euros LOL

It was just an example 
Always found it strange that if you win the tournament but don’t win every game to do so you aren’t really that happy 

In what other sport would this strange scenario occur. 
It’s daft

And that’s before you even get into the triple crown

Yea true. Sure isn't there a cup for every match?

Just a rugby thing. You are right, Ireland will win Six Nations but still won't be happy

The carling nations cup would be a better comparison.

Let me guess Ireland would need 4 player's sent off to beat Scotland?

Disappointing today we just didn't play well. Too many errors that we normally don't make. Few things went against us. I dont like this 6/2 split on the bench the last few games. Nash goes off and Frawley comes on. Frawley then goes of after a HIA. Gibson Park then ends up on the wing. O'Mahony gets binned for 10 minutes also. We need to have more backs on the bench to cover these eventualities.

And as bad as we played we still could have hung on. Thats a positive. England played pretty well. Attacked well. Cant see us slipping up next week against Scotland. This defeat will give us added motivation.

I wouldn't be the biggest rugby fan. Scratch that, I hate it. But even I draw the line when it comes to playing England.

It was hilarious seeing the likes of Heaslip humbled though.

From his very recently edited wikipedia page: 

Having waited the requisite time after his career had ended, he switched allegiances to England and became a cut price Clive Woodward. Making arrogant, attention grabbing claims about the incumbent Irish team. Claims he wouldn’t have made while he played. Some called it getting carried away, others called it loosing the run of himself.

LOLLOL
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Really disappointing performance all things considered, England were always going to be up for it and have given this team plenty of trouble the last few years even though they've been poor overall by their own standards. 

Even if we had snuck it I've a feeling we would have lost to the Scots by how we've been playing so far, just not quite at it. But now I expect a pretty big reaction against Scotland, god love them.

I knew heaslip was a clown when he spent thousands advertising his Facebook page to gain relevance. Despite being a top player he wasn't gaining anywhere near the following of the more likely players like ROG and BOD. Paid his way to relevance then unfortunately the media fell for it and gave him a platform..

People can laugh at the achievement, but people on here are working about whether Sam Szmodics will play for us over Hungary.

Just imagine how active it (this forum) would have been if it existed in the 1990s...LOL

Rugby was better in the 90s, when Ireland were sh*t and you used to see a mound of sand to kick penalties and conversions off
