The Fiji situation saddens me , I only hope it spurs them on to beat England in their quarter final

I'll be supporting New Zealand next week as I don't agree with teams stuffing their starting line ups with foreigners. It's basically cheating.
New Zealand were the first to do it , they have had Pacific islanders in their teams for decades , some of them are back playing for Fiji , Tonga and Samoa in this world cup

If they have foreigners playing for them I won't support them so. Is there any team that isn't cheating?
Nobodies cheating. They're the rules. They're similar in Soccer and probably all international sports.

Go back to the handball alley whistling Róisín Dubh as you go. Its the best place for ye.

Still Glasgow Celtic could win the European Champions Cup with a team made up entirely of Jocks, mainly of the Catholic Faith all born with ten miles of Glasgow except for one teuchter (a Scottish culchie) from 30 miles away.

As far as I know the rules are more stringent in soccer. Most of these rugby lads have no connection to the country. It's a joke.
Not really. In Soccer you only need a Granny and never had to set foot in the Country before. In Rugby you have to have played there for I think its 5 years.
If Japan lined out with 15 NZ players and won the world cup would you praise them or laugh?
You've no interest in the sport and resent Ireland doing well at a "Garrison game".

What are you even doing on this thread?

A try from one of the props and two penalties from Frank lomani got the Fijians out of jail and they face England next weekend

If soccer had the rugby rules, all Jack's Green Army could be playing for England and Scotland.
They're two different sports. Half of Jack's Army were English. None of them would be allowed play for Ireland under Sham's law.

Rugby is a very small game compared to Soccer with the amount of people playing it around the World.

Well done the Pumas but they were two poor sides out there today. Ireland or New Zealand will make the final whoever wins tonight.

At a meeting at home, a man mentioned the IRB and I noted that I must check it out


Does anyone know of this group and maybe it is useful or a similiar group or groups should be promoted
This is post number 1 in thread, but somehow it became the rugby thread. Later tonight if Ireland wins I will change the title and delete non rugby posts.
