Johnny Sexton openly criticised NZ's no dickheads policy inferring Ireland have an only dickheads policy. Which I back completely.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Some of the best rugby players and tourists I’ve known are dickheads. Every team needs balance and a ******** is a role like every other.

Expecting him to have a dog **** next game then, like Duhan after being in the press going on about how much he deserves to be in the Lions and then losing us the game vs Argentina

I understand your confusion- the floppy blonde hair that missed the tackle for the winning try and then got stripped on the last play to hand Argentina the win was actually Pollock, not van der Merwe.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Oh he was **** too, but Duhan was directly responsible for two previous tries

Honestly insulting that people try and use Pollock to have a dig at me, second person this week
