Triple Crown Winners

[tiktok]

there was an interesting table in yesterday's Irish times which showed the combined results from the four most recent seasons, the top of the table looked something like this, obviously i can't recall a lot of it ...

Six Nations 2000-2004

_______Played__Won__Drawn__Lost__
England___25____20____0______5___
France____25____18____0______7___
Ireland____25____18____0______7___

i think this shows that the team has made real progress since we went threw the doldroms where every (five nations) season was a quest not to finish with the wooden spoon.

the south African tour is probably a better chance to show the progression though, it's about time we went and won a tour against a southern hemisphere team.

since we finished in more or less the exact same position as last year, i don't see why its a big deal. substitute france for england and we had exactly the same season. so you might as well celebrate just beating england. thats the only accomplishment this year, at least be honest about it. in many ways it was a better season last year, as losing our first game this year meant we never had a chance of winning outright. going into the england game last year we had a shot at winning it all.

Well we were playing the top 2 away this year, lost one (in which we came away without being tonked)... The number of times Ireland have done it speaks for itself IMO. It's not easy to do...

Lads cut out the sarcastic eye rolling for the love of god.

Anyway well done to the giant peanut huggers for winning the triple crown,a really great achievement no matter what the rugby bashers say.

O'Driscoll does really love the limelight though,any Irish player who wanted to be in the papers on sunday or on tv after the game had to be standing about two feet away from the golden boy.Still a great player though and he knows it too.

What great achievement?
The "Triple Crown" isn't a competition, you don't win a trophy, you don't win anything except a few games....
This load of old b*llox goes back to the days before the chaps allowed Johnny Foreigner to share a mudhole with them, and is still seen by alickadoos and aresholes as some sort of big thing.....

The Triple Crown.... the f*cking Eurovision of the "sporting" world....
Eh, hold on, you ACTUALLY WIN SOMETHING if you win the Eurovision....so
The Triple Crown.... the f*cking You're A Star of the "sporting" world....

And don't knock Eurovision. I have seen more Eurovisions than rugby games...I never liked Portugal, when their last vote coulda made Terminal Three a winner for Linda Martin.

Showing your age hombre! What the f*ck was that song about? A f*cking airport terminal?

Or how about Luvbug?

They were so good they went on to play at that 'top London nitespot (sic.)' (copyright of the management of said khasi) 'The Galtymore' in Cricklewood. FFS, can you imagine those Captain Kirks playing at the Bellydancer Arms, Frankfurt, if they just lost out to whoever?
