Like the little Bavarian towns that sprung up in Argentina shortly after WW2?
Or the Welsh farming villages ...

More Welsh speakers in Argentina than Wales

Any word on sexton's availability? 5 players down would be a big hit (Jared, POM, POC and SOB)

I've got a feeling posters on here might be disappointed.

Don't be bloody silly Agen, wonder boy would play, Zoolander, Fitzfornothing, the pride of Guadalajara.

Anyway, Earls is fit for selection according to reports ....... and on performance last week, barring an episode of careless hands, he deserves it.

Stand in tribute however to Robbie Henshaw who had both French centres so tied up in knots to defend against him that the never got round to testing Keet against Bastareaud. Henshaw also stopped him in his tracks on one occasion and held him up, strong yute >clapping .
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

FFS man, spit it out, by what, no lottery win? Manchester United beating Everton? David Pigfecker not dying this weekend?

Am I close?

If you are talking about the match, it's win win. If Ireland win, semi-final and they have achieved in relative terms, if they lose, we get our players back. What's not to like?

Unless you are a harbinger of doom who is suggesting that both Fitzwankbeg and Wee Mexican Mike could be involved? :shock: :shock: :shock:

For some on here their default position is to be disappointed. Even if they were handed the keys to the gates of paradise they'd be disappointed to find they have to go to the trouble of unlocking it themselves. There's not much one can do for folk who revel in negativity.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
