North vs. South the ultimate Test!

[Haysie]

You know what TRF can never get enough of?

Hemisphere wide cock swinging contests! The information exchanges is always new and interesting when they occur...

I am going to put together a collection of all the instances in which you have said "Cock-swinging contest" or something with the word "cock" in it.

 

[Teh Mite]

Always in response to people who use the word "hemisphere" like it's a positive thing.

 

[Jer1cho]

These debates will go on forever.

PC vs Console
PS3 vs XBox
SH vs NH
Apple vs MS
Anime dubbs vs Subbs

Internets finest...

Private companies do not represent you. Fact.

Didn't know North was a company, didn't know South was a company. All I know is that the New Zealand rugby union is a company and the French rugby union is a company. How do things get combined?

Yes, I'm going to my local coffee shop and start talking to the manager (although If you will forgive me I'll have to do this in a few hours as it is 5:52am here) saying how we are really doing such a superb job business wise attracting all the tourists and watching his face recoil in horror as he has no idea what I mean by we.

So why do we use it for rugby teams?

I try not to say "we" because of that sketch, but it's hard not to.

You really don't have a ******* clue what a tour is all about. A test match is against a registered team; The Lions are the only registered combination team about (The PIs being the closes equivalent, but they don't count as they're not registered as one nation).

Brittish AND Irish Lions pretty sure thats not one nation...

 

[Amobokoboko]

An alternative would be to play with two barbarians sides.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Is this whole debate still going on? Why do we even see the NH and SH as 2 different things? Why not create 12 teams World Wide according to time zones?

I blame Office hours.

Brittish AND Irish Lions pretty sure thats not one nation...

Aye, but it was when the team was founded in 1888,
and they were known as the British Lions until the 2001 tour

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Brittain also isn't a country you know

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He said nation.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Great Britain is a country containing the nations of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland as well as the principality of Wales. So there.

Here we go...

Based on the win ratio of teams like South Africa, Australia and New Zealand over all of the world. I'd have to say and Im very sure it'll be a safe bet that the southren hemisphere would win a lot and convincingly. Sure the north would come out all guns blazing but so will the south and the south would assemble the greatest side probably ever seen in modern day rugby, even the bench would be a sight to behold.

Oh dare I forget the other rugby nations such as Tonga, Samoa, Fiji and Argentina whom have many great rugby players themselves. I dont think it'll be an ultimate test unless of course the northren hemisphere team stack their team with some southren hemisphere players, I dont mean any disrespect to the fine current players of the northren hemisphere so please dont get that twisted but heres an example of what I mean..Last year the All Blacks toured the north and beat a lot of the northren hemispheres finest rugby teams and were only beaten by a Springbok dominated Barbarian side, maybe fight fire with fire would be the norths only chance and what does that say in the end??..

Two things ... Wales has not been a so called 'principality' since Llywelyn the Last or Llywelyn Ein Llyw Olaf, Laws in Wales Acts in 1542 also made Wales independent again and not a principality! and because Wales has no modern geographical or constitutional basis it cannot be considered a bloody principality, I do get quiet annoyed by people referring to Wales as a bloody principality. Be like calling Northern Ireland Ireland.

The announcer did that at St Marys in Southampton for a U21 Football game

"Please stand for the anthem of the Republic of Northern Ireland"

Oh deary me
