Babbling 'brook

Allez les Blues predated Bourgoine by at least a year. I can remember it being sung in Biarittz in Jan'04 - I remember the funny looks we were getting from the Locals hijacking their language

Remember the first year when the lads were dressed as Mexicans shouting 'viva la republica' in the beer tent :shock: Had me ducking for cover!! Thankfully the Ulster fans took it in the right spirit. We were dressed as Mexicans because we come from south of ze border . The Gringos were the cowboys ...

The IRFU own Lansdowne Road, at the moment. However, they will give the land to the Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company - which is jointly owned by the IRFU & the FAI. - Philip Browne is the CEO. Funding for the stadium is as follows. Approx 66% funded by the Irish Government and 33% by t...

Well, in days gone by, yes. Another favourite was the "plucky Irish". :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Not recently, since we've begun beating the English and being spanked by the Southern Hemisphere-ites though! On that theme, the 'English Saxons' coach (Callard?) before they played Ireland, ...

Tara, you also get a complimentary little yellow rubber duck. I stayed there a few years ago and still have the duck

Does anyone have any plans to go to Llanelli for the Magniers League game towards the end of September?

Just booked the IBIS in Embra

I remember David Campese just wandering away from his teamates with a ball and continued his warm up when the Haka was taking place. The ABs went mental and threatned to pull the plug on doing it in the future.

Im sure it would not be the first time CKav!

Well, I don’t know how true or untrue the car pushing is. All I know is what my mate told me, and I would have absolutely no reason to disbelieve him. And if this was brought into the training regime then well and good. Who are we to argue with Cheika and Knoxy

I heard a good news story from a friend of mine at the weekend. He shares an apartment with one of the new trainers of the team and he said that he has been really putting them through their paces this past week out in UCD. Pushing cars up hills, making them run 400m in less than 64 seconds and if t...

I was just there doing a little re con for next February.

Incorrect. at least €40 for All Ireland Semi (and that's not for "premium" seats). They have to make a buck somehow given that they're shelling out at least €1.25m per match. Don't believe the RTE tripe. They have their noses out of joint since they lost the HC coverage and are just doing...

Colm - Bohs have certainly NOT all but moved to Castleknock, it was purely a kite flying exercise by a developer who owns lands which are in 'the Liffey Valley conservation area' and there fore cant be built on for residential purposes. He wanted to do a land swap with Bohs for Dalymount Park to off...

I think the Lotto funds were being given to the Leinster Branch rather than Leinster Rugby (pro team) for the upgrade of the back pitch in Donnybrook. As regards the Lotto money to the RDS, thats not for Leinster Rugby either, but rather for the upgrade of the pitch in their ground and the redevelop...

I heard on Newstalk last night an interview with Mick Dawson. He was commenting on Lotto Funding for the back pitch in Donnybrook, where they are putting in better flood lights and upgrading the pitch. He also spoke about the Lotto funds which the RDS got to upgrade the pitch and stadium there and h...

The move was called Sullivan's ... it was based on a London Irish move our Current Leader used to employ there.
