OK he was born in Ireland and played for Ireland (and Leinster). The fact that his father is French, he speaks fluent French and has lived in France can be safely ignored, as I assume he does not have dual nationality only holding an Irish passport (probably). I made a massive error. Now watch the game.
The French are looking dangerous, but just about all the decisions are going against them. I could see them getting very frustrated.
Small world Gloucester. Although I was born on the south side most of my life I lived in Raheny D5, local bus 42A, also served Artane I believe.
France down to 14........discipline going...........scrapping.............another try to Wales.................game over!
It does, I spent many a time on the 42B and 20B going into town or to my Aunts at East Wall. You must know St Anns park then. Played pitch and putt there often.
Apologies old boy. My fault entirely. I think you put your finger on it the other day when you noticed Geezers are bit narky on here of late (myself included) owing to the slump the team is in. Nowt a couple of three pointers wont cure though, eh Stanley?
Looks like the championship could be decided on points difference. Wide open now, between England, France, Wales and favourites Ireland.
Haven't read the whole thread...been out...but had a VERY enjoyable evening out in Paris. For some reason people seemed a bit glum. Being as Welsh as I am English, and living in Paris, I have enjoyed my evening.
Knocked myself out more than once on my chopper bike colliding with trees in St Ann's, great place to be a kid. Had to walk home from Dollyer once barefoot when my sister took my shoes with her from the beach cos she couldn't find me.
