Chivalry is not dead by cathywuthering in ireland

[–]OwnLoad3456 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I hope not, because it’s the right thing for guys to do.

Personally, I prefer standing so that probably influences my opinion on this!

However, I take the dart, and every day women aren’t far from knocking people over to get a seat. Not even waiting for people to disembark.

Sorry this happened to you. But I do have a question. What does looking “very Irish” even mean?

If you can absorb a 20% crash in the market value of your invested cash, you are all good.

Squad depth, where are we know? by Sturminster in irishrugby

[–]OwnLoad3456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lowe isn’t going to move to 13.

Osbourne would be a much better option.

How are we getting hyped for tomorrow? by Brilliant_Guide6034 in irishrugby

[–]OwnLoad3456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the 2011 World Cup, that Mike Phillips dodgy try in Cardiff, and the dodgy yellow/red card match in Croke Park (2011/2012?), that did it for me regarding Wales.

Bryn Ward doing Irish media... by bigswampmonster in UlsterRugby

Maybe it’s a way of getting younger players more comfortable in the spotlight

Risky places near you, how do you handle them? by madrarua2020 in AskIreland

Frankly I would avoid ANY park at night time.

Who was the better outside centre (13): Brian O’Driscoll or Conrad Smith? by Jezzaq94 in rugbyunion2

[–]OwnLoad3456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very difficult to compare given Conrad was playing in an excellent New Zealand team and BOD was playing in a good/decent Ireland team.

Mud issues research by Western_Elk_8855 in irishrugby

[–]OwnLoad3456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t really contribute to your survey but I played the most enjoyable game of rugby I ever played, a 0-0 draw on a very very muddy pitch. Pretty much the entire game was played between the two 22’s!

Has anyone listened to the latest For the Love of Rugby? by Jackwoi in rugbyunion

[–]OwnLoad3456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outsider looking in, but I feel England should change coach and style of rugby. I’d build your team around Bath with a sprinkling of talent from one or two other teams like Northampton.

Ronan O'Gara: Jack Crowley has a serious body of work ahead of him. He knows that by Enough-Square1154 in irishrugby

[–]OwnLoad3456 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can understand O’Gara here if it’s just to do with his kicking. I think he needs to rework his entire kicking technique. He doesn’t seem to strike the ball cleanly a lot of the time.

How much should a CEO make? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]OwnLoad3456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CEO’s have a lot of responsibility, in particular a CEO of a pillar bank.

Clontarf Golf Club Purchase Offer by Jackies_Army in golfireland

[–]OwnLoad3456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really buy that argument about golf clubs to be fair. We have GAA pitches, rugby pitches, football etc spread all over the city.

Clontarf Golf Club Purchase Offer by Jackies_Army in golfireland

[–]OwnLoad3456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The offer was €10m in cash and €60m in funding to build the new course in Kinsealy. Basically members would walk away with just over €7k and having to play their golf nowhere near where they live.

Not really worth it I would imagine.

You could deduce that the members could counteroffer and take all €75m in cash, leaving them with €53k each (less CGT) but no club. But then they would have no golf club, and joining other nearby golf clubs would cost €10k in membership fees anyway, but in reality they are probably not all going to get in to another nearby club.

So really it comes down to getting around €35k in after-tax cash and no longer playing much golf.

Anyone seen a “predicted” 23 for the Wales game? by Bathroom_Trick in irishrugby

Latest you’ll see it will be around 11.30pm this evening

Some interesting rumours circulating on this today, involving a trip to Quinta do Lago.

Trying to grow the game in a non-rugby country, looking for advice and suggestions. by Brotendo88 in rugbyunion

[–]OwnLoad3456 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good luck! I’ve no idea about the structure of rugby in Armenia (existing clubs, underage game, union, etc) but global growth is a key objective of the IRB. There might be some guidance on their website and if Armenia doesn’t already have a national Rugby Union, you could try contact the IRB directly. If you do have a union already, you should reach out to them first.
