Hi rugby fans

Its getting close to Rugby world cup and last nite one of the warm up games was at Ravenhill when Ireland played Italy.

It was a wonderful nite seeing two great teams and meeting some of the team after the game. To hear Irelands Call echo around the stands of Ravenhill was awesome!!!!

Put us all in the mood for rubgy world cup so thought I'd start a thread where all us rugby fans could congratulate, commismerate , congregate whatever...in a friendly focussed-on-rugby way on the forum.

Let the games begin

Enjoy All

It was a good game Friday evening, bit too close for comfort at the end. We need to concentrate 'til the final whistle, but roll-on the World Cup when we'll peak just at the right time!

Let's go Ireland.

Don't think there's any doubt about it,the northern hemisphere teams are only there to make up the numbers.

I agree tjd. we where at the 22 line and i didn't think ogara touched down so we were very lucky with that call!!

The team looked good though a lot of work to be done yet but looking forward to the challenge.....together standing strong

Well world cup rubgy mania has hit our household!!!

Good games so far so good luck today to Wales and Scotland but the very best of luck to Ireland in the pool of death for first game tonight.

Hi EL,

Surely Ireland can't lose tonight? Hopefully we'll play really well and increase the level of confidence in the team for the other matches.


4mins gone - good start Ireland - keep it up!!

Great start to the game but it all went horribly wrong. Somebody should have given Hickie Velcro gloves...I was amazed at their game.

We got our 5 points but not the start to the world cup we hoped for.

I hope they will learn a few lessons and have a bit more of the 'LUCK OF THE IRISH' for the next game

i'm depressed.....what has happened to Ireland....a few good moments but too few!!

I'm addressing this to you as we seem to be the only two interested in sharing thoughts on world cup.....no wonder the way the home teams are playing!!!

Well maybe Ireland are keeping the best too last...ahhhh wishful thinking I fear
