What's that Skippy?

[Sweep]

Not really a rugby fan, so disappointed but not too bothered.
Just thinking about it, if the boot was on the other foot and any of the other home nations had gone out, would they transfer their support to England? Absolutely not.
so come on anyone but Wales, Scotland and Ireland (even though they aren't even a home nation).

Yes they are and the team is made up of players from both Northern Ireland and the Republic.

Do you know just how hard a task it is to find a Uruguayan flag in Edinburgh. They're all sold out already. It was much easier getting a Welsh flag last week and an Aussie flag yesterday 😉

 

[MegaSteve]

Frees up a bit of telly viewing time over next couple of weeks...

No swapping of allegiance here...

*makes note to start a thread to take the pi$$ out of the Irish when they get bumped out of the competition* :thup:

 

[Hobbit]

Being half Irish I still have a team in with a shout. England were ill-disciplined in both games, especially against Wales, and got what they deserved.

C'mon Ireland!

im glad all the tat and bunting has gone from the bar the stupid cardboard shirts and flags and we get to watch something else on the tv,Tesco selling shirts of cheap today and the displays going back to normal goods,they reckon it will cost over a billion in revenue for bars and clubs.

Knob behaviour.

I was playing golf in Scotland once when the world cup was on and England were playing Croatia, and some Scottish beaut had a Croatia top on.

I was at St.Andrews in 2004 just after the Euros and one of the caddies told me that he knew every word to "Flower of Portugal"

Oh, my bad. Half a home nation then

Nope just a full home nation and one currently along with Scotland and Wales that are still in the tournament. :rofl:

Hehe. Theres not too many sports where we get the chance to say that, is there?

Im just hoping we go out and do the buisness against Samoa. Theyre doing the country proud so far.

 

[Jacko_G]

Beaten by the better team tonight but some serious errors in selection for the squad and the team.

Support is now with the Irish a team that can win the whole thing if they keep key players fit.

Absolute nonsense!

 

[GB72]

Why nonsense, probably 5 or 6 teams that can beat each other on any given day and I count Ireland amongst them.

Won't get past the quarter finals!

 

[GB72]

Reckon they are more than capable of beating Argentina

Nope. Half a home nation. The Republic will be telling us they don't want anything to do with the UK or Great Britain next. Can't have it both ways.
Half a home nation. Half a foreign nation.
Ireland isn't even in the Commonwealth, so it could be argued they are more foreign than Australia, NZ, South Africa, Fiji...
Basically they are just a bunch of Johnny Foreigners

Dear Sweep

Whatever way you want to look at Ireland...we are still in the competition. This thread isn't about Ireland.

It's about the failure of England let's not forget that.
