I don’t really follow rugby at all. In fact ah the only rugby I watch are the Irish internationals. Apparently though there was a big game yesterday between Leinster and Munster. The langers came out on top. There are a number of rugby fans in the Blog O’Sphere, some of them are Munster men but nobody’s perfect I suppose.
Of course the reason for the Munster men being so good is simple … sheep. Yes, it’s an old joke but there is actually truth behind the ewe-phenism. You see, for a long time out across the Burren and above in the wilds of Macgillycuddy’s Reeks were GAA men who liked it rough and apparently liked four-legged females a little more than the two-legged variety. Sheep of course were never the most compliant of animals (so i’ve been told) and would often need to be chased down and tackled if one wanted to have their wicked way with them. Over time these leisurely pursuits were bound to yield benefits in the other leisurely pursuits (on the GAA field that would be) and vice versa I suppose, hence the magnificent skills displayed by some of the great Munster GAA teams over the years.
Anyway, after generations of sinful tackling and a pile of All-Irelands for Kerry fellow Munster men of the garrison game playing kind discovered this woolly secret and incorporated it into their training regime. It’s true! Honest to god! They actually take it so serious now that they even get some of their women to dress up as sheep just so they stay totally focussed on the game at all times. This has brought such benefits to Munster rugby that the animal has become sacred and they have even started to build shrines to them! Amazing.
Don’t get me wrong though, if victory means so much that you are willing to go to such beastly lengths then I tip my hat to you. And, to be fair, I must point out that it’s not just a Munster thing, they’re a bit like that out in Mayo too, only not as good obviously. New Zealanders are also pretty good at rugby too, that’s probably where many Munster men emigrated to over the years.

Btw if any Munster men are offended … baaaaaaa! Ya welly wearin’ sheep shaggin’ bog trotters!
As long as you know you are inferior that is all that matters
Terrible terrible puns. I think you may have a point though, Betty the Sheep hails from the heartland of Munster although she isn’t well known for her rugby prowess.

“Baaaaaaa!” Is that yer missus calling?

What’s wrong with me puns? I worked on them all morning!
see all the slaging will never get Leinster to cardif. Because Munster is just far far better at rugby. I guess all those D4 heads were 2 busy in Brown thomas to go to the match anyway.
So slag away. It would change the fact that Drico is about as usefull as Dublin hurler
Ok, i’ll keep slaggin so

Jesus, man. That’s two digs in one sentence. What did I ever do to ya?
LOL
It was aimed at another Mayo man G, but collateral damage is to be expected
