June Internationals: Canada vs. Ireland (15/06/13)

Is there a bar in downtown Vancouver where I'll be able to see this match?
 
I don't know whether to stay up and watch this.
On the one hand, it's only 1hr away.
On the other: By the time the game ends I'll have been up for almost 24hrs, and I was planning on getting up at some point before dinner time tomorrow :lol:
 
Underwood has looked pretty good but I'm not too sure what to make about Parfrey yet. The fact that both of them are even considered for the Ireland test shows how decimated our backline is when both of them probably wouldn't even make the bench if Hassler, Evans, Duke, DTH, Mackenzie, Trainor, Scholz, and Blevins were healthy.

Yeah, pretty crazy.

Looking forward to see if they'll get off the bench tonight.

Now Olyy why wouldn't you stay up for what is clearly going to be the match of the century. It's got Ian Madigan.

I will issue a warning now. I got less than 5 hours sleep last night and have been up since 6 this morning. If things go badly it may not be pretty. Consider this your only warning.
 
I would call this a hell of a sports night in Canada, with Ireland Rugby in Toronto and a UFC pay per view in Winnipeg.
 
I've been up since and done an 8hr shift at work :lol:
I'm gonna power on through - feels like the RWC again, not knowing whether or not I'll make it to fulltime without falling asleep :lol:
 
Can't wait for this match! I expect Ireland to win though, Canada just has too many injuries.
 
Watching this in Gaelic. Like a boss.

If anything controversial occurs that commentators understand, can someone post an english summary please?

Edit: On behalf of Canada, I apologise for that national anthem.

Well at least we have an actual singer rather than the tape recorder, wait no they've got the ooh ah bit.
 
Ohhh good god, I cringe every time I hear that **** version of Ireland's call with the electric guitar:(
 
I meant that particular version was dire. Personally i don't mind Ireland's call but I'm not Irish...

I don't mind it when it's performed right but it nearly never is. Especially when we're abroad. The u20's version is the worst.
 
Shoutout to Little Guy, at the match today, we should have hooked you up with some TRF banners and sh*t.
I hear he has located Ed Fairhurst and intends to sneak him into the Canadian side.
 
Really good work for the try. Nice way for Trimble to mark the 50th cap.
