Duff, you caught me. I acn't believe I mdae a typo. Will fall on my katana when I get home. You've a great future in the civil service. And Trinity College is the sole surviving college of Dublin University, not the University of Dublin. The more you know.

On the point of your success, an....educated... man like yourself will surely acknowledge that NZ rugby is bigger, better funded and more successful than our sod of turf? But which one tugs at the heart strings? Which one do you, deep down, know is the right way?

As for Statler And Waldorf behind you, I'd like to point out that I'm not all that bitter. Just anticipated the usual vein of drivel that masquerades as banter out in Stillorgan IT and decided to head it off at the pass.

Raise the game lads. Believe in your selves! You mightn't have gotten your first choice through the auld CAO but rise above it. I'm sure the mean streets aren't so bad.
A little known fact about JC (not Jerry, the other one. The nice Jewish boy) was that he was a top-level statistician. Where does the bible tell us this? Mark 6:30-44

His Poisson distribution skills were miraculous.

good man mustapha, believe your own hype at least.

Dont really see why you're being quite so ridiculous about this. In a discussion about the colours RUGBY match, surely the two teams winning percentages is highly appropriate, as opposed to the usual inane ramblings that people drag up when a UCD vs. Trinity argument comes up.

Fact is historically UCD are by far the biggest university club in terms of national team development and have been for a considerable length of time. Deal with it and learn to take a bit of banter when it comes your way

But more seriously, isnt this really the point of a colours match? Bit of joshing and banter between the two sides

Last year Trinity won. Two years before that it was a draw...so not true actually!
It's funny to a point but people get pretty heated on both sides and before long it becomes inevitably quite insulting.
I agree though - good banter :lol: :lol:

Retaining is definitely not the same as winning though...
That was the best colours I can remember actually - Eoghan Hickey missing that last-minute penalty was sweet...to a chorus of 'my lonliness is killing me now'!!

i can imagine, the basically never missed for UCD and the biggest kick of his career he cocked up. Oh well, he was promptly banished to munster for his sins

True, but it's a helluva lot better than not even holding the honour.

To be fair to him he was exceptional the following colours and landed some rediculously long-range penalties...then he was banished!

Good times....
