The Ryle Nugent 6 Nations Drinking Game

fitz

With the 6 Nations upon us, and everything getting a bit heated and serious, it's time to inject a bit of flippancy into the forum.

Following on from a thread last year, here's a list of Nugentisms put forward as triggers for taking a drink while watching the games. (credit to Moflojo and Almaviva for numbers 6, 7 and 8)

1. "Deja Vu"
2. "<insert player name> had no right to make that tackle/take that ball/etc."
3. "Cometh the hour...."
4. "...sheer will and determination..."
5. "On this occassion..."
6. "You have to say that, on the balance of play, it's no more than they deserve"
7. "...wrong side of the field for a right/left sided kicker."
8. ".....<insert player name> turns on the afterburners....."
9. "<team/player name> have/has."
10. "Boot to ball"
11. "Big ask"

In all the selection arguments, ROG rants, and Kidney critique, lets not forget to actually enjoy the next few weeks of (hopefully) great rugby.

C'mon Ireland!!!

You'll be a thirsty man waiting for that one. :pac:

BIG ASK?

Quint2010

Was originally a "finish your drink" event that one....wasn't much point in including it though.

Both very worth additions!

What about "Would you believe that?!" or "There's belief there for Ireland"

fitz

Or what about a bonus phrase?
Finish your drink in the event of Donal Lenihan breaking out the "TREMENJUSS"

Embrace the Ryle.
When you start playing this kind of buzzword bingo with his commentary, it goes from annoying to hilarious.

Take a drink for every time Hook mentions someone who has been dead for more than 50 years .

rchendz92

If ROG makes a tackle, drink everything in sight.

That's genius.
Add that to the previous Lenihan Stipulation.

Is it Ryle that often says, "O'Driscoll, Brian O'Driscoll"

SebBerkovich

May i suggest

"And a Rye smile from <ref/player>"

To be fair to Radge!, he does at least attempt to make a tackle. Say what you want but in general he will go into contact even if they do run over the top of him.

For Nugent don't forget "To a man"

Also in studio if O'Shea is around, you'll be hammered drinking every time he says "Look" at the start of a sentence.

Oh and down your drink every time McGurk looks like he's about to cry....

Robbo

Take two drinks when Hook makes reference to a historical battle, and then chug when he gets the details wrong.

You're actually making me sorry I can't watch him now!

Jesus lads at this stage we'll be pissed after 5 minutes.

thomond2006

I'd listen to Ryle Nugent on commentary any day over Hugh Cahill.

mfceiling

Nugent...welcome tony ward and a big welcome to you at home.

Tony ward...he'd no right to make that tackle.

Nugent...how many times have we seen him do that in an Ireland jersey.

Lenihan...every sentence starts with "well" and "you have to say"

Nugent...after a long kick downfield "where's this one going"

Nugent...that's vintage "insert player name"

connundrum

garbanzo

Excellent idea for thread lads.

Can we add "<<insert name>> putting his body on the line" .

Every fockin game......

I clicked on this thread, intrigued, thinking WTH can this be about? Chortled to myself a few times alright. Well done fitz!
