Almost choked on a lozenge. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mind you the selection of candidates to "kick" represent the parsimonious nature of the folk, not FOLK, putting up the so-called prize money. A child from Bangor, a lady from Strabane who had never kicked a rugby ball in her life and a poor lad from Letterkenny whose legs were stiffer than fuc'k after a 124 mile drive. :duh: :duh: :duh:

Next match is a roll over week featuring Dougie Bader, Christy Brown and the obligatory Saffer Oscar Pistorius.

There's a bit of a coincidence of sorts, I once almost lost an arm in a girl in a pool, she was game. Almost indentical. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Anyone else think that Treviso have an outside chance of claiming fourth spot? Their remaining matches are;

Home: Connacht, Dragons, Zebre
Away: Dragons, Cardiff, Kings, Leinster

Dragons (home), Kings and Zebre are all after the 6 nations and Treviso would be favourites. The others, except Leinster, should be close.

With Ulster being 12 points clear I think we'll need to get a win at home to Ospreys and currently I wouldn't back us to win. I think it's going to be tight at the end of the season, anyone agree or am I being overly pessimistic?

If anything sums up our season it's sitting on a dreich Sun afternoon with fingers crossed that Dragons beat Treviso.

Champions Cup Quaification

Post by Neill_M »

Treviso won 18-15. 5th straight win. 8 points behind Ulster & Edinburgh.

Looking at their remaining games - reckon they could win 4 of them.

Glasgow look like they could be home and hosed for a semifinal by the time they face Edinburgh again.

Looks like it. It’s 1-1 in the 1872 Cup series so the 3rd game is the decider.
