  • Ireland -currently the best rugger team in thw world.

    From greybeard@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 20 11:06:01 2017
    Lot of late, and off the ball "tackles" by the team in white.
    I'm sure that an accusation of thuggery would be denied.
    Only SH teams transgress. Must have been just following the
    game plan, from the aussie coach that caused this.

    No trys from the white team? Business as usual for them.
    Lions tour will be a dour, uninspiring one sided event?

    No tries is business as usual? Have a look at the statistics for the 6N
    since 2000.

    Showing tries for 2000-2016, then for 2016-17

    This proves conclusively that a team -- even Italy -- can score more
    tries in 16 years than it can in 1 year. I never realized that.

    Thanks for the statistics. Interesting that you choose to comment
    on the number of tries, and apparently find the thuggery claim
    both unsurprising and acceptable.

    Thuggery by Rodney Ah You earned a red card yesterday, in Ulster's
    game against Newport in the Pro 12 league. If he'd been English, it
    would have been just a penalty.

    Meanwhile, the psychopath Dylan Hartley hasn't yet received the
    lifetime ban he's obviously aiming at. What more does he have to do?
    Stamp repeatedly on a ref's head? But he's English, so that would earn
    him three or four weeks off.

    It's disgusting, isn't it?

    Do I? Thank you for telling me what I think.

    Tries are facts, perceiving thuggery is an opinion. Especially if you're biased, which you obviously are.

    Mmmmm. Any "try" video reviewed by Ben Skeen is certainly only an
    opinion. Frequently a dubious opinion.
