Well I went in to my local last night with my gang and my mum and dad and it was packed with people there for the rugby. Had to wait 40 mins for a table and the same again for our dinner. This is a small pub in the suburbs of terenure and it was jammed with rugby fans. It'll be the same come the 6N.

Ah no, they were soccer fans who just stayed on celebrating the win over Austria...

They think it gets too much coverage as it's a sport only followed by those in south county Dublin limerick and by members of the orange order and you'd never see a pub packed for a rugby game like you do soccer!

I haven't read the thread, what is the issue?

Do they just not want rugby on TV or do they think it's there at the expense of soccer?

I see there a thread on the soccer board complaining about the amount coverage rugby is getting in TV at the moment. I wonder is that where some of less well known users popping up around here are coming from?

Laughable stuff...and I say that as a football fan (Rugby is far andown away my first love though). Football has endless coverage across media platforms, in fact it is in danger of overkill as Sky seem to be discovering with their viewing figures this year.

Rugby will be big news for the next couple of weeks and then disappear from the mainstream until February, it's just the way it is.

Luckily for us we get to enjoy some great Champions Cup and Pro 12 action in the interim when nobody else gives a s*** about the sport.

In the meantime wait until you see the match thread during the game next week. Good luck Mods!

I shall be waking early tomorrow to watch Seattle @ NE back. NFL hasn't been great this year but surely this game will deliver.

At 6pm...go Bears!

Good laugh reading that.
You'd swear there was rugby on RTE every week. Six nations and 3 matches in November, hardly blanket coverage.
Someone is a bit bitter me thinks.....

Conor McGregor is some man for one man, eh?

I don't have any particularly strong feelings one way or t'other on MMA/UFC etc. but you have to hand it to him, he's entertaining.

And he's wildly successful. Earnings would be in the tens of millions for last night.

Based on my experience in the tennis forums the most high profile events of the year always attract a wave of new posters who disappear just as swiftly again once the event ends.

Ah c'mon I've just gotten up to watch the fight, UFC is really amateurish in its running .

Woodley v Thompson is a win... a draw ...poor fecker will find out in the dressing room that he's actually lost

Just on the subject of how horrible a person/ politician Pense is. I found this comment on Reddit.

http://reddit.com/r/Indiana/comments/4u6qfr/why_is_mike_pence_disliked_in_indiana/d5ng4e0

There's probably some bias in there but even taking that into consideration thsts a long list of "accomplishments"

No, the mods in that thread were going to be lenient and I even apologised but then another poster had a moan about it so I said I'd take myself out of the thread and they could go back to moaning themselves AND I GOT A RED CARD FOR THAT!

No skin off my nose. Same few posters in that thread constantly complaining about PC gone mad and the likes. It's been annoying me for ages so I was going to stay out of it anyway.

Chances are it will be Pence doing most of the work anyway. Cheney was basically calling the shots when Bush was in office, I'd imagine they're in for something similar now.

VP takes over if something happens after he's president. Not sure he gets to be president if the guy who was elected doesn't get inaugurated.

Sounds like trump is only now realising what he's got himself in for

Very much sounds like he really didn't think he would win or gave zero thought to the consequences of winning.
