Fair comment but what sort of keyboard are you using here, man? The whole premise of the name is to just tick off the boxes left to right...

Yep, quality Irish side. :cool: If the Oz 2019 team analogy holds true, then they'll get pipped by France in the final despite scoring more tries! :oops:

Thank you linesmen, thank you ballboys
