How many times do we drink if someone says there's "no easy games" in the Six Nations?

durkadurka · 02-02-2015 10:43PM

We really need an Irish one of these.

durkadurka · 02-02-2015 11:36PM

Drink when:

Hook makes some comment about Heaslips extraordinary durability, which he has only recently noticed.
Tommy Boooooooowwwwwweeee
'Italian Job'
Hook references something from the 1950s
'Which French side will turn up'
It's an odd numbered year so we have a chance
O gara esque

Hartley or Lawes commits an atrocity
Kearney passes the ball or completes a tackle
POM starts a bit of a row when we're losing

Went out to the car at 9.30 and the windscreen was frozen, I live 250m from the sea too!!

Neck your drink whenever Brent Pope laughs awkwardly at something Hook says.

We'll be ****ed before kickoff

Where would be a good place in Dublin to watch the match on Saturday that won't be too busy?

Hook starts the coverage on Saturday by saying this is the worst Irish team he has ever seen...

...everyone in the studio tries to hide their smirks when it's played back to him after Ireland's grand slam victory over Scotland.

(let me dream at least...)

Podge_irl · 03-02-2015 08:34AM

I never watch RTE coverage anyway. It's all about the forced banality of BBC.

dregin · 03-02-2015 08:50AM

I only watch RTE's commentary if Tommy Bowe's on the pitch...

Swiwi. · 03-02-2015 09:04AM

Add to that drinking list if McGurk lets anyone finish a sentence. McGurk himself doesn't count.

"Has gotten through an amount of work"

See that Sky will have exclusive rights to the Open Championship from 2017. Sad to see such a great event gone off FTA, would raise concerns for the 6N. Will miss my annual fix of Peter Alliss too.

So I just realised that my cousin's wedding (in England) is on at the same time as the Scotland game. Any tech heads here know is it possible to stream to a phone, and will it cost more than the trip as I'll be roaming? I'm assuming there won't be wifi in the church!

If you're that worried about it, pick up an English pay as you go Sim for the day, 20 quid will get you 4g and a clip around the ear from the bride

You can just use iPlayer on the phone.

Try to get the loan of a phone off an English resident maybe?

03-02-2015 04:22PM

Get a local to broadcast wifi and use the rte or bbc player. Hola app if location issues.

Yeah the 4g/3g roaming will kill you. Who are you with?

TV Catchup is the app that allows you to watch live Terrestrial tv (only when you're in the UK). (ios, android)

If you're with Three, you get the Three at home service I believe? (I know I have it the other way, when I go back to Ireland I use my tariff as normal, zero additional charges).

If you're not with Three, try get your roaming sorted before you come across, otherwise try convince a local to give you a wifi hotspot from their own data.

CatFromHue · 03-02-2015 04:56PM

Don't watch it live as you'll get your arse kicked, unless you can find it miraculously on a pub tv somewhere.

Zzippy · 03-02-2015 05:29PM

Thanks lads, was planning on BBC iplayer if I can get wifi - getting one of the English folk to broadcast it is a great idea. I'm with Vodafone ak, have a data package here but I'm sure it's no use when roaming... I'd like to see the game but not if it's going to cost more than a weekend in Edinburgh!

One of the last weddings I was at was on the day Ireland played South Africa. A couple of tables brought iPads along and had the game on RTE player throughout the meal.

Tread carefully and discreetly, Zzippy. It went down like a lead balloon.

When I was setting the date for our wedding the first thing I checked was that there was no important match on that day... hopefully the church bit won't take long and we can get to a nearby pub, especially if Ireland are going for a championship or slam!
