    It actually originates from Munster Rugby which is ironic as the majority of the Irish team play for Leinster. :)

    Munster fans sang it occasionally but really started to sing it after Dolores O’Riordan’s death (Cranberys) who was a limerick women from Munster.

    The words of the song (in your head) also represents what Munster feel they do to other teams in Thomond Park, get in their head……

    Apparently according to some reports it came into the sporting arena when Limerick won the Senior All Ireland Hurling a few months after her death and their fans started singing it..... It was then that the Munster Rugby crowd adopted it......

    Just for the devilment…
    Wales v Argentina - Wales by 12

    Ireland v New Zealand - All Blacks by 4

    England v Fiji - this is a hard call, England by 4

    France v South Africa - France by 5

    All of these games could quite easily go either way.

    Disclaimer - was sabotaged on canal towpath by fallen autumn berries and damp cobbles, big tumble resulting in wrist brace and some serious painkillers which I have enhanced with wine. My guessing skills might be mildly impaired.

    All close, but a northern hemisphere clean sweep for me.

    Sadly no. I reckon I would have bounced up with no damage if sufficiently well oiled.

    France 16 Boks 25

    France V SA could go either way. A NH clean sweep would be great.

    Farrell at 10, Ford dropped, Smith at fullback for England according to leaks.

    Hmm.

    I think Farrell at 10 is the right call. Ford & Farrell don’t seem to work together.

    love watching Smith play. The energy and unpredictability he brings can get you off your seat but…….not sure at full back

    think the Fijian’s will target him big time
