It’s a pity Dolores wasn’t still alive to see and hear that.

It’s a pity Dolores wasn’t still alive to see and hear that.
Mad to think that it wasn't all that long ago that a sizeable contingent (if not a majority) of Irish rugby fans would have flat out refused to sing that song.
the majority probably won't have a clue of the backstory to the song either
Where do you get that from? It's always been a popular song in Ireland.

That it was an anti-was song, (largely but not solely anti IRA after the Warrington bombings) and reflected the increasing majority feeling in Ireland that the violence on both sides of the Troubles was pointless?
Don't think a significant minority, let alone a 'majority', of Irish rugby fans (south or north) ever had a problem with it.
Not in my father in law's part of the country it wasn't.
One house then...
Not from him, he's been over here quite a while now. Would be difficult for him to hold those opinions living in London.
But when we go back over there, there's still some pretty strong anti-English sentiment from a lot of the old ones.

Are they anti all the English though, or just one in particular?

Is it’s still going on or are they playing the proper games yet???

It’ll get going in the quarters.
there is just too great a disparity in the ability of the sides beyond the top 8 or so. Means there’s far too many one sided contests in world cups.
you kind of have to go through this to grow the game though, you can’t just have a closed shop.

That was quite a dive from the Argentinian player at the end of the half.
Definitely taken out, but threw himself to the ground like Suarez. Need to consider some very long bans for that kind of behaviour before it becomes like football.

Strangely the way the draws worked this round of quarters should be closer/better than any of the potential semi’s.
Fra / SA and Eire / NZ is a much higher level than the other 2 quarters.

I think they had a good game Vs England, but England have been poor so didn't take much notice.
Maybe I rated Wales higher than they are
