Hello my well-beaten English cousins, but you cant think I could let this go without a quick stab at glory. I watched this 6-Nations rugby game on TV with Irish, French, Welsh, and English people and it was a brilliant, brilliant spectacle, the crowd were great, the playing of the anthems, and the history was moving, the emotion was high, the Irish team played brilliantly, and the score was fantastic at the end. What can I say, a great Irish sporting moment. Lovely. :-6

I was lucky - we were winning 3 - 0 when I had to go out.

Well played Sir.

Thank you all, I shall take all the reflected glory I can. Its funny because I was in England in 1997, in University, and I remember all of us Irish lads when down the bar to watch the match that day against England in the green jerseys with our English friends, and England demolished Ireland that day by about the same scoreline, god we were sickened, and the English people had a right laugh at our expense, the great thing about rugby though is that everyone takes it well and enjoys the game, unlike soccer where people can get nasty, (I hate that, its so stupid). Anyway, happy days. :-6

Well it is football, but you get into the habit of calling it soccer when there are non-football people around, so they understand what you mean, know what I mean?

Yeah, I don't automatically assume people are talking about the game played with a pigskin when they say football after noticing they aren't from America.

Taking advantage of a little-known rule, that was. The last time I was so shocked was when Jonah Lomu came out of nowhere in that semi-final against England twelve years ago.

Being the Scottish guy in question, may I add my belated congratulations to the Irish Rugby team? Beating the cachd out of the Auld Enemy is always a gracious act, no matter who does it. So I will be thanking you.

On the other hand, how did you manage to post that on the same day as the thrashing? Your lot won. My lot were posted missing in the first minute and myself is still in sorrow-drowning mode.

Still, your lot will get the backlash - care to make a small wager?

No actually it was the next day that I posted my gloatations! :wah: You want to place a gentleman's wager on Scotland actually beating Ireland in the Rugby this year, good lord sir your patriotism is akin to the attitude of Dr Johnson to marraige (i.e. A triumph of hope over experience).

Nothing so worthless my good man. The celebrated Dr. Johnson was handicapped by being of the Sassenach variety, but in that case he did have a point.

Myselfs offer of a wager is based on historical observations - if us Scots is thumped (in anything - sporting wise anyway) the next lot get mollicated.

So is there a pint on it?

It would add some sauce to the encounter. But I am not sure how you will send me my winnings (in a sealed jiffy bag maybe?), but not on a plane, its a liquid! :wah:

I suppose this will happen eventually.

Incidentally, did you know that the USA are the Olypmic Champions in the sport of Rugby union?

It's not really televised here...

It is sometimes on FSC, but I only recently have signed a contract to receive that channel...

I like rugby...

I actually didn't know that...

But history is history, I'm a firm believer in "you're only as good as your last performance"...

I know rugby isn't a very popular sport over here, but I've noticed our team has gotten alot better in the past decade...

We are in a tough group, so I'm not exactly overly enthusiastic...but still would like to see the Eagles win out...at least as much as possible.
