[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 628631, member: 57076"] yeah and Szar, thank the Lord almighty in the sky sweet Mary, Joseph the Holy ghost and trinity etc... I read something that made me smile today. Yannick Bru (forwards coach) said "it would be an exploit to beat Ireland at the Stade de France". Just so representative of our situation. Now, granted Ireland are by far the best they've ever, ever been...but saying this just some time ago would be nonsensical, it would be pure science fiction. "an [B]EXPLOIT[/B] to win at home against Ireland", you kiddin me ?!! With all due respect to Ireland and its fans, one must see this from an objective scope. Let the historical record speak for itself, and that phrase is like a gag in regards to the state of French Rugby. I remember distinctly when the pools for 2015 came out, and perhaps naive at the time I said "it should be a walk in the park, we've got Ireland and Italy...". It wasn't arrogant, it was my true sentiment. It was at the time when France had beaten Australia 33-6 and had a really nice EOYT. Things looked really bright at the time, and nobody could've seen 2013, or even worse, 2014 coming. Right now, we're in a position where "it would be an exploit to beat Ireland at the Stade de France" :lol: and it's that same Irish side we'll be fighting off NOT IN THE STADE DE FRANCE in a year and a half to avoid facing the New Zealand All-Blacks in the 1/4F, or simply pack up and gtfo of England. HI-LAR-I-OUS. Hilarious. [COLOR=#0000cd]H[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]il[/COLOR][COLOR=#add8e6]ar[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000cd]io[/COLOR][COLOR=#800000]us[/COLOR] [ATTACH]2741.vB[/ATTACH] Note: of course in the equation, again, Ireland has dramatically improved in literally every sector of the game too. So way down for us, but way up for them... [/QUOTE]
