    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.

    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...
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    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....
