In fairness to Schmidtferbrains, despite his selection errors getting a first seeding in the RWC is a worthwhile result.

There isn't that nice.
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.

Some of the credit must also go to Nucifora. Great management overall. :lol:

Oh yes absolutely, I believe it was David who said to Josef, "Joe, that young lad Heaslip doesn;t look well today, have him injured". A fine judge of character Mr Nucibastard.

Mind you hears a thought, if that spanner Schmidt had picked the backrow properly, those two antipodeanbastards could have been celebrating a Grand Slam instead of tieing for places 2 through 4. Instead, he got lucky through no fault of his own.

Feck'em, dickheads I'm glad they ended up not winning the championship, imagine finishing tied for 2nd 3rd & 4th behind a team as bad as England, who were lucky to beat France, got out of jail against Wales, took 40 minutes to work out a tactic that has been used widely in Super Rugby & elsewhere, but was dumped because it's easily combated if you aren't stupid, against Italy and never looked close to contesting with an Ireland team whose big fault is there is no cutting edge - evidence: 2 tries in last 3 matches.

Given he is welsh and they are cheats, it is more than likely he brought the game into disrepute

Appears to be a bit of a media backlash against bonus points

Said they offered no additional value and the table would have remained the same

The one thing the BP brought was at the end of Wales Ireland game both teams went for a try and refused to kick the ball off.
Wales going for tBP and Ireland the lbp in a game that was already won.

I also thought it was bad news for Italy as the other sides see them as tBP material and go all out attack from the off against them rather than adopt any sort of conservative approach which gives them half a chance.

This time maybe, but in a small league, BPs will inevitably decide the title at some point in the future.

Baggy not to sure as to whether a change in the backrow would have altered the Scottish result though it may have altered the result against Wales.

But changing the back row would do little to change the fact that irish Centres created little in attack and the Irish defence was vulnerable out wide, which in my view were the to big weaknesses in the Irish team.

With apologies for the misinformation on Saturday morning. In the world rankings, I mixed up the Welsh and French points.

1. SoB played for the team
2. Zebo was dropped
3. Earls was dropped
Saw Zebo hug Earls after the match and both knocked on. Each was dropped by the other.
