    It's their culture.

    Big, big problem. Its endemic in the game.

    IRFU trying their best to sort it out and it is their number one priority, even relegating dealing with performance enhancing drugs. Mix sheepskin coats, pints of Heino, pubs in Donnybrook or Ballsbridge and you have one seriously dangerous cocktail.

    Burning question. The thing I hate about sheepskin coat wearing people is that they usually stink the gaff out.

    Always thought it was a stereotypical English soccer manager thing, never seen it associated with rugby before.

    Only a problem if worn in summer time.

    Monkey? Irish Rugby? Where is the connection?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Monkeys eat peanuts. Rugby balls are sort of shaped like peanuts. QED.

    It's a D4 thing. Can't have the ladyboys wandering around catching their death in the cold. Sheepskin coats keep them all snug as a BOD in a rug

    Does an attempted parody have a problem with actually resembling humour?

    I have literally never seen or heard of it until that Aviva ad.

    That whole series of ads though, they all seem like a weird, failed version of similar ones in the UK. The characters are presented as if they're archetypes we should all recognise, but nobody has any idea what they're supposed to be. Like stereotypes from a parallel dimension or something.
