Some legends in there...

Willie John McBride -- need I say any more about this legend (99 call in SA)
Ciaran Fitzgerald -- One of the best pound for pound traditional hookers
Simon Geoghaghan - 37 internationals 11 tries - toe injury cut short his career
Keith Wood -- His open play made the modern hookers what they are today
Brian O"Driscoll -- Best centre in the world even on an off day - awesome defender
Paul O"Connell -- When he fires we win - FACT

As for today ----- One time in my lifetime - one time and I will die happy

We can"t lose we have two captains

Disappointing to see String drop back to the bench.  I thought he was outstanding last weekend.

Disappointing to see String drop back to the bench.  I thought he was outstanding last weekend. 

He justified the Man of the match - now dropping him has historic ties. We dropped our skipper, and man of the match against Scotland, for the final match in 1948, Karl Mullen took over and we beat Wales 6-3. 

Karl Mullens battle cry that day was "Boot, bollock and bite"

one time

one time

[duke3016]

I can now die happy -- seriously I can

My heart is at risk

Stephen Jones would normally put those kicks over

It was Karma

Whatever it was my clickfest for the HORSE might be a little sloooow

My god I feel so good

party time

My house is manic

I can now meet my maker with joy
