You bring it on yourself Ormy with your attempts to say rugby is more than a 10 team sport at international level. And at that I'm being generous by saying 10. mike03 (Limerick) - Posts: 2000 - 03/03/2015 17:33:04 1698843 Link 0 |
if you read my post correctly janesboro instead of rushing to disagree you will notice i said he was way off the pace at inter county level...this is underage inter county level..he was completely roasted and not up to it.....the rugby team is a top 10 side by default...referring to irelands ranking in soccer shows your lack of knowledge of soccer keeper considering the level of competitiveness in soccer that exists...you will notice our soccer team has achieved a lot more in the world cup than our rugby side despite having a much more difficult opposition? fabio8 (USA) - Posts: 2182 - 03/03/2015 19:07:46 1698896 Link 0 |
there are fairly good relations between the codes of GAA, Football and Rugby at the moment. That can change though. Relentless media hype about Rugby and to a lesser degree football will affect matters. There is no question about that. Good luck to Irish Rugby but GAA must put it's own fans and players first- regardless of what the media and Business peoples say. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2520 - 03/03/2015 19:13:27 1698902 Link 0 |
The thing with rugby is that there is a position for every shape and size of an athlete unlike GAA or soccer where you must be of a certain level where pace/power is now so important. Redslayer (Westmeath) - Posts: 100 - 03/03/2015 19:31:17 1698918 Link 0 |
if you read my post correctly you would have noticed i said inter county level that he wasnt up to..and this was only underage...keeper your showing your lack of knowledge of soccer if you are belittling their ranking..look how competitive the sport is nationwide and somehow our soccer players have managed to do more in the world cup than our rugby counterparts!...in rugby we are top 10 by default fabio8 (USA) - Posts: 2182 - 03/03/2015 19:55:29 1698933 Link 0 |
The reference to duffy saying he couldn't make it in football because its more skillfull than rugby is the most stupid thing i've ever heard. by that logic any of the top footballs could walk onto the irish rugby team... blackspot91 (Limerick) - Posts: 1055 - 03/03/2015 19:56:18 1698934 Link 0 |
It makes no sense to say Duffy couldn't make it with Mayo because football is more skillful.. by that logic the top footballers could walk on to the irish rugby team... blackspot91 (Limerick) - Posts: 1055 - 03/03/2015 20:15:31 1698944 Link 0 |
Football first, I think the programme Celebrity Banisteoir proved that Pat Spillane was right. A couple of months training and a group of rag tag footballers were coached enough to give a good account of themselves again Kerry in a challenge match. They would have been on a par with any division 3 team. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1904 - 03/03/2015 20:37:55 1698954 Link 0 |

Simple to name the ten, 6 Nations in Europe, OZ NZ SA and Argentina. So you have just one country of note in each of the entire American and African continents with none at all in Asia. Hardly a world wide sport. Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4338 - 04/03/2015 09:21:29 1699018 Link 0 |

whats the point of saying there is more than 10 when theres not?..who else is there?..sure you will start trying to claim the likes of georgia and romania matter...people who take shots at our soccer teams ranking have no idea how tough it is in soccer to be on the elite level especially if you are in europe or south america...in rugby scotland have always been a top 10 side no matter how terrible theyv been over the last number of years and that says it all really..there is no depth in rugby...the 6 nations sides the 4 in the southern hemisphere and thats it really fabio8 (USA) - Posts: 2182 - 04/03/2015 12:10:37 1699091 Link 0 |
