Basically irrelevant.
Rieko lives in Johnny's head forever more.
And so it was thus.(rather like that poor Bok player who had Johnny scream in his ear "Haaaaaaaaa!!!" as they scored in their victory against the Boks in Dublin, 2022)
Don't think ireland have ever won a series against South Africa. I mean Ireland. The jonny come latelys to serious rugby.

Sounds like he's not a fan of Gatland going by a headline I saw today.
To be fair, Gatland is a marmite coach. He’s given Wales some great success (and some dross-check out the ups and downs in the 6N), has a 50/50 Lions record which stands up very well but even then there are many (I put my hand up here) that feel his brand of non-rugby is a pretty hard watch and whilst it may have sometimes played to Wales’ strengths, was a handbrake with the Lions.
But what the fuck do I know?

Is there someone other than himself he is a fan of?

@Catogrande I thought the Lions side her brought to NZ played bloody effective rugby with some quality attacking. I rate him as a coach

I reckon he bottled the last lions tour to SA. The lions should have won that series with the players they had at their disposal. Gatland focused too much on what the bokke were doing

Huh? Or what?
Sexton won't be playing...
uh got that, but ....
I can't see how taking the piss out of an absolute cuntface because he's an absolute cuntface has much to do with the EOYT.
Particularly when that cuntface won't be playing
-
I think it'd be a nice gesture by Ioane if he bought half a dozen copies of Sextons book, sign them with 'Zombie, all the best Reiko' and give them away....

Its blowing up all over apparently. Lots of pods covering it and for sure the Irish rugby public paying attention. Makes the EOYT match something to really look forward to. Both teams looking to prove a point, maybe more so than usual. Cant wait.

From what I read, I not keen on what Ioane said (if it is true etc), but neither am I keen on Sexton writing about it in book.
Bit of dickheads x 2 too me.I was quite happy with it Danny!
So am I mate, but still just sounds like a couple of dickheads. Like the Irish player that called Cane a poor Richie McCaw or whatever, quite happy with people making dickhead type comments etc when fired up etc. Still is kind of dickhead, but I wasn't always polite when I played and fired up either, nor players I was against, only we laughed about it later over a beer usually.
Thank god Sexton etc didn't play cricket eh Grubs, imagine the upset at sledging there.
He seems to be the kind of guy that can start a fight in a phonebox.
All very well having this attitude when you are a pro sportsman and need that edge to you but it won’t help him in his personal life or future careers now he is retired.
I was pretty happy with Reiko calling him out as I think there was no love lost between these 2 sides.
I was very confident we would beat them that night as I knew we would have prepared well for that game and been wanting it for some time.
It’s funny how he calls out That Whitelock didn’t release (looks like he did so not sure why h is pushing that line) but fails to mention they got away with one when Ardie should have got a turnover penalty about 5 phases before.

@DaGrubster Bang on mate, very much a one sided moan. And he lost me with the moan at ref anyway!

He should get tested if these "memories" are an indicator of his brain's health.
He also complains about the standard of his hotel in Dunedin.
It's fucking Dunedin. I've never seen a "Paris London New York Dunedin" tagline. -
@antipodean 5 hours, shit, what were the 4 x 4's?
-
@Kruse Plus team bonding in QT cost them a series they should have won.
Cry me a river. The lions won the second test because the ref applied the law despite it defying common sense.
they drew the 3rd Test because the ref refused to apply the law. Despite it defying common sense.
Normally I take all these stories from a player's biography in my stride. It's just the publicity machine grinding into gear to generate sales. But Sexton really is a whiney bitch and genuinely seems to believe the long jeremiad his book (and life) seems to be.
