View Full Version : The Irish defeats the USA
at rugby! http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/rugby-union-match-centre?match=2400030
TBH the US gave them a good run for their money for a good part of the game.

I don't think the Irish have performed well for quite a while now...they are probably as bad as Scotland atm....and no, I'm not saying England are that much better either :DL

Don't forget though Tarjak, the paddies gave you a bit of a trouncing the other day :O:
That they did. And the way we played we deserved it. Should be a different story on Friday though.

Yea I wondered why you started a new thread on the rugby when you already have the RWC thread, then I notice the date.

I'm so tossed on what I should do. Be glad the irish won (because I'm a little more than half irish, and really like that bit of heritage)
or be sad the US lost (because the US is the country I live in...)
YAY!!!:wah:
Me and my friends used to play 7's rugby in the courtyard outside my high school. A lot of football (American football) players joined in and our little group had to be broken up because we were breaking all the schools top football players :D
I have no regrets!

Yes i know what Rugby is. My smart quip is more of a reference as to how little mention it receives here in the US as compared to other sports. From what i've seen, It receives so little attention here, that it begs the sterotypical, ignorant-American question, "What the hell is rugby?" out of jest. And the Irish beating the US at rugby, nevermind that, back the truck up a little....... you mean the US has a rugby team? :har:

If the USA rugby team made it to the semi finals there be more mention of it on your screens. Its course the US team though they have improved from previous Cups are just not that good... yet. The USA needs to join our Test matches we have during the winter NZ, AUS, SA, etc., I think its up to the rugby board though but it would be good to have the USA as part of it just for the sake of rugby and the money they would bring into the game.
Same here with American football I love watching the game but its hardly mention in New Zealand just not popular, yet American football is played here.

I'll just take the liberty to hijack tarjak's thread and turn it into the" Barmy Army thread."

Even the Aussies love the Army:

Are the pictures of all the hot sweaty rugby players over in the primary thread? Cuz I can't really see the point of having a rugby thread that doesn't contain pictures of hot sweaty rugby players. I'm just sayin'. :O:

The original has rugby balls covering any potential offensive parts but just to make sure I have added blurring and pixelisation.

There is absolutely no genitalia in the original other than four funny shaped balls :DL
