The greatest sporting event ever to happen in the history of this country was the 1990 World Cup. It was a pure spontaneous occurrence, a coming together as a nation to celebrate and support our football team. The GAA and IRFU will never ever be able to come close to that. And by the way, how is irish rugby legends Messrs Tweed and Falvey these days.

The result against a weak usa team was a good result ...is this what it has come to. Germany away I was thrilled with and was a good result but we were outplayed, out tought and got lucky. Uneducated might be unfair but look at all the EPLs top players over the years Terry,Rooney, Robbie and Roy the list goes on. You can be damn sure they have no education. fair play however they are very rich. |

So they are just bandwagoners as already stated that will only follow us if we do well? They aren't sports fans so. "Last good results we had was in 2002" . I apologise for them being born Irish and we can't guarantee them a World Cup every four years. If Rugby is so liked then how come during the last RWC I could get away with not following any of it, the people don't actually care about it. Compare that to the hype with the Euro's, different world altogether |

Can you imagine the furore if two footballers had been linked to the incident in the Shelbourne last year, we'd still be hearing about it, instead it was quickly brushed under the carpet and they couldn't be named we were told Edited by starryplough - 23 Nov 2014 at 4:21pm |

Ross ocarroll kelly a perfect symbol of a typical irfu fan. A game invented by a cheat for fat overweight freaks who are incapable of playing a proper sport.

And we all remember the media refusing to go to town on it so? If two Irish footballers done the same we would still be hearing about it everytime they were in public. Instead these pair couldn't be named for legal reasons and it blew away, the poor young one got all the flak. Different reporting/scrutiny when its the rugby lads |

Unreal the amount of bitterness, jealousy and insecurity in this topic. Referring to other folks' sports as "bog ball" and "egg chasing" - worry about your own patch, rather than trying to snipe at others.

It's the same with ice-hockey in Slovakia.And I think it's down to the fact,that Ireland in rugby and Slovakia in hockey are amongs the top teams in the World.People don't care that only 8 or so teams play at top level.Plus women go crazy about rugby or hockey players and watch the sports even they have no clue about the rules.They like the roughnes .

What? 2 lads had a threesome with a more than willing lady, who was delighted with her night with them. Where is the scandal? Are you some sort of prude? |

When was the last time we beat New Zealand in rugby? There are six teams in the yearly competition, a few years ago only five. How many grand slams have we won? Enough said. Irish people prefer football by a country mile but we are rubbish at the moment and Delaney is a clown and embarrassing. Its like you want to be with the hot local model but she s not available right now or giving you the cold shoulder so you have to lower your standards and go with the rough, plain unpopular girl as you still need to be getting it. But as soon as the model becomes available or even shows the slightest bit of interest you will ditch the other one. Once (if) the good times return in football the rugby interest will wane.

Did anyone actually notice the last time the egg chaser world cup was on???. Dispite the sickening rte bias towards such a small minority sport from the totally awful second captains to their highlights program getting prime time coverage. But then it makes it all the better when they fall flat on their arses as they always do in their so called world cup.

The irfu team is so like the english football team. Totally deluded fans who think winning meaningless friendlies makes them world beaters. While the real teams use these meaningless friendlies to try new players and tactics the irfu team goes all out for victory when it means nothing and totally screws up when it comes to the big stage and when it actually matters.
