Dunno. Never felt offended by gobby, audacious players like Mike Philips and McCaw. Ireland needed gobby and audacious players like sexton and o’mahony too. You don’t like losing to us because of the history, but we ain’t ever winning those those games without characters just like that. Anyway to the victor the spoils. You’ll put 40+ on Argentina.
Imagine calling McCaw gobby. Thanks for joining the Fern to present us with that take.
One of the major criticisms of McCaw when he became captain was that he wasn't vocal enough. Gobby and audacious? Lay down the crack pipe.

Meh. You are better than us but all the bad mouthing of sexton by all blacks fans comes across as weak to me. He pumped you a good few times and that doesn’t sit will with you because he’s not meek and self effacing like you expect us to be. But guess what. Winning is what counts and we’ve gone from never beating you to pumping you five times in ten years. Would be a sad and soppy game if we turned everything into a saddo popularity contest. Maybe have a bit of grace and realise he’s one of the best you’ve come across.
Ah dude. You started out promising. The guy is a fantastic rugby player. He is also a prima donna and a whinger. You can be a great rugby player and not utterly unlikeable. Even non-Leinster fans struggle with him, ask anyone from Munster.

Nah. We like talented, competitive players regardless of the country they're from. I recognise that Sexton was both and had a long, storied career. He was also a right fluffybunny and that makes him unlikeable.

I have a line, where players cross from "he's a dick, but he's our dick" to "he's just a classless dick".
The "but he's our dick" is a player who's sh!thousery helps to win a match, or at least is an attempt to (e.g. Coles, Fitzy).
The "classless dick" is someone who goads an opponent or fans at the most disappointing moment of their careers. E.g. a Gregan or a Ioane.
Even, the in-game headpatting is getting into the classless territory for me, of which, Ioane is also a master.
Yeah Ioane vs Sexton at the end of the game was a real “clash of the dickheads”.
I really hope our boy grows up and shows a bit of decorum down the line.

Loved mccaw. Loved winning a three test series against you in NZ too.Every Irish person that reads this forum and reads all of the CONSTANT and incessant WHINING about the supposedly offensive and egregious and horrible personalities of Sexton and O’Mahony on this forum knows exactly what’s up too (is this a sports forum or a reality tv celebrity gossip forum??!!) .
You got pumped a whole bunch of times in the last few years by us and you’re struggling to deal with that and despite us losing you know in your hearts we’ll be back to challenge you in the future again. Fluffy bunnies doesn’t even cover the insecurity and whininess of this forum. You should be glad your team takes us more seriously than you do. good luck going forward. New Zealand and South Africa in the final again. Fair play. You’re the pinnacle of the sport we all love.

must feel Sexton posts here?
-
@ShitMcCaw TBH if one of our players behaved the same way as Sexton (esp abusing a ref) he would get treated with the same disdain and “constant and incessant whining” on here.
It really has little to do with you beating us so you can drp that approach to defending inexcusable behaviour.

@antipodean
Too busy scowling at something.I love you guys and I love your team but in fairness the amount of time you spend doing ‘deep dives’ on the ‘moral deficits’ of our team is a bit weak. Sexton knows youre the best. We all
Know you’re the best. Why the need to kick us when we’re down. Definitely don’t see that on saffer forums. Saffers seem way more straight forward and generous. -
Maybe when all the focus is on one player the problem might be with him … ?
POM called Sam Cane your name. Then watched as he played MOTM to knock him out of WC. We enjoyed it.
As for being insecure …. Well yeah, nothing new there.
Who knows what the future holds. Perhaps Ireland are permanently in the very top tier now, if so then you should rightly enjoy it. Maybe you’ll continue to pump us, maybe you won’t. All to be decided.
Right, SF to prepare for. Enjoy your mad Monday.
-
@ShitMcCaw Plenty of admiration for your team in amongst the anti Sexton stuff. Some on here don’t think some of our guys should be in the team because of off field behaviour, so it’s pretty even handed moral judgement (condescension) not nationality based😀

@ShitMcCaw stick around and enjoy yourself. We always like the input of foreign fans, their perspectives and knowledge.
Genuinely.

You'll fit right in around here!

Over and out for real.
be better if you stick around, most of us can give plenty of shit and take it, always better to have a wider range of views as it does get a bit narrow at times (although the last 4 years, in particular the last month is what I imagine living in an asylum would be like with the stuff that has come out)
