A mans game at the aviva today. Are you watching

Should be a cracker today at the Aviva., ireland v England and pissing rain to add to the unpredictably. Any of our Leeds forum interested? Personally can't wait for 3 o clock

 

Looking forward to it Eire. Real rugby where you don't HAVE to give the ball up after a mere 6 tackles. Despite the rain, should be a good game, hopefully with England getting their noses in front early on & staying there.

 

Not at all Boggers. Watch out for another Simon Zebo back heel

 

If he's that good with his back heels, any chance of him being signed & playing on Tuesday??

 

Doubt if we could afford him

 

Sorry guys, but I've never, ever understood the egg-chasing game. Hope you enjoy it (and, as part of my job descrition, I hope england get stuffed! ).

 

A Leeds scarf shown on an English fan. Wahaay and we're not famous

 

Tut tut tut jock, as always, envious of the mighty

 

Saw that Eire. Was that you in the Leeds scarf?

 

Nope. Too wet for an auld lad like me and not a chance in hell of getting a ticket

 

I went over for the match with a couple of my Irish mates.( never been to an International and know absolutely nothing about Rugby Union, just sounded like a good day out)

7.55 am flight (started drinking the black stuff at 6.15 in Man airport).

Taxi to Bewleys Hotel for breakfast.

Taxi to The Temple bar.

Taxi to The Lansdowne Hotel/Bar

Walked to the Aviva Stadium (brilliant)

Watched a close game amongst some top Irish supporters (I'm English). Drinking lots of warm, spiced Bushmills.

Taxi to Shanahan's on the Green. Delicious steak, good wine.

Went in a couple of bars after out dinner ( pissed by now, no recollection of their names)

Taxi back to the airport, just as the England team checked in.

10.55 flight

Taxi back home.

I had booked Monday off work as a precaution. Wise move.

A great day, even though it never stopped raining.
