    Nope, played against a few of them like Madigan in school and would have met him briefly before, but I wouldn't have remembered him if he wasn't Madigan if ya get me. yourself?

    I know one squad player pretty well but he is off to saracens at the end of the season and i've met Harris Wright through him.

    He has been injured almost all season though.

    Also heard some amusing stories about some players.

    so close.
    U.S. had an extremely poor showing against the Saxons, but what do you expect when they play mostly domestic players and keep their "all stars" on the bench. they want to see what these players can do so they can find back ups for our experienced guys, but do that against Tonga, not the Saxons.

    USA Rugby has been struggling these past couple months. 0-8 to finish the sevens world series. fucking blowing it against the saxons in the churchill cup by not starting the best possible 15. then starting the "best possible fifteen" against Tonga and still losing 44-13. we're resting some of our best by not selecting them for the tournament, but damn this is terrible.

    English had no shot, it was closer than I thought it would be. But young NZ players are just too skilled when compared to the same age group's in the rest of the world

    yea, i read that NZ has won every JWC. that sucks. i don't hate the NZ players...but i hate that they win and how good they are...at every level. I hope a northern hemisphere team wins the world cup.

    Only positives were O'Connell and that Ferris didn't break. Fuckkkkkkk. The backrow was the one area where we we have depth but Wallace is a massive loss, having a trio and impact sub between Wallace, Heaslip, O'Brien and Wally was mouth watering.

    Gaffney and Kidney are seriously inept. Just look at the pace that Leinster play at, where the hell is our energy.

    Ireland have put in maybe 3 decent performances since the Grand Slam. We weren't even that great during that lets be honest.

    Kidney out, Schmidt in post World Cup for the love of God.

    Depressssssssssssssion

    Also all games will be available on universalsports.com
