Congrats to Amy and Drico!

Tim Robbins

Well something to lift the doom and gloom. Congrats to Amy and Drico on the birth of their child Sadie. Great news and no doubt you'll be brilliant parents!

After those dropped balls on the weekend I don't think I'd be handing over the baby if I was Amy.

Also, I think anyone who has had (I mean has been there for the birth :-)) a baby or played rugby would know how thankful we should be for Drico togging out on Sunday.

Hopefully for our sake this will nip the Australia move rumours in the bud. You can't be bringing a wee one to all that sunshine Brian!

Ireland lost not won so Drico togging out didn't count for that much I guess.

We should be grateful any time BOD plays for Ireland - he may not have many games left in green so enjoy him while you can!

The way Ireland's luck went yesterday, SadieODriscoll will probably grow up to have her mum's rugby ability and her dad's acting ability, rather than the other way around.

Dear Boards,

Thanks for all your kind wishes,

Brian & Amy.

Seriously, I agree with Cormacjones, nice sentiment and all but a bit of a naff thread, no?

If you have been looking out the window there has been a grey sky for awhile now. FFS what's wrong in celebrating someone who we all respect good news for a change.

Having a child is the greatest experience in life. And there's just not much good news these days. As a parent one thing that makes me happy is when I see other good parents been able to conceive and bring a child up in a good home.

That's all we have to rely to keep some sort of stable society when we are older.

It's school holidays, isn't it? Why not get the kids to write a card and send to the happy couple via the Leinster rugby union - I'm sure they'd pass it on. Just a thought.

Since this is the feelgood thread...

What the video didnt show was that when Richie left the school he accidentally fell on the statue and knee'd it in the head.

Nah, that was your compatriot Danny Grewcock.

TBH, it a decent thing of Richie to do. I might be wrong, but it's possible that school had a bunch of underprivileged kids, and I'm sure having an AB visit the school made their day, no different to the Irish lads visiting sick kids in hospital etc.

The kids were barefoot!

The Ref then red carded the statue for headbutting Richie's knee.

Finally the IRB fined the statue NZD 100,000 (or €3.73) for standing so close Richie during a haka.
