I am so excited about this. I think Fiona is a bit mad to think we have a hope. It’s all about England the Kiwis. We’ve never even won one international match so to think we can do well is a bit much.
However, we’re always competitive and every match should be good.
Plus, it’ll be on telly! Woot! (as the kids say)
How VERY DARE you, Hal!
(a) Positive mental attitude; and
(b) Ireland won three games (at least) in the Six Nations this year (beating Italy, Scotland and Wales).
So there!
I for one want to sit in a pub and scream at the telly for the first game on 20th. Anyone know if there’s a chance pubs’ll show our national rugby team, rather than the Irish soccer clubs?
Well slap me sideways with BOD’s jockstrap Click! I am sorry as well as ill-informed.
We won 3? Excellent! If we’re ever going to beat engerlund, the first game of the World Cup is the one. Hopefully they’ll be feeling the heat and won’t have gotten into the groove yet.
come on girlsheens!
lol – That’ll learn ya. Yep, from the scorelines on the RBS 6 Nations website, we fairly hammered them, too!
GO TEAM!
