130.0. "Rugby Results Ma's e' do thiol e'" by KAOA01::MCCROHAN () Tue Feb 10 1987 13:07

    Mike (snake) (and other names unknown outside of the "Bish" rowing
    club) - Hughes mentioned informed me of the outcome of last weekends
    Ireland-England Rugby match. 16-0 for Ireland, if memory serves!
    
    Wa-Heeeeyyyy!!!
    
    After our chat, It occurred that a) there was probably another match
    that weekend, and b) that there have probably been other matches
    played....
    
    Anyone care to update us on progress so far, and keep us updated
    as the Triple Crown and Championship progresses?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Mike
    
    GLOSSERY:
    	Triple crown: Mythical trophy awarded to the outright winner
    			of a round-robin rugby tournament played between
    			Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England. In order
    			to win the Triple Crown, a country must WIN
    			ALL the matches.
    
    	Championship:	Round robin INCLUDING the triple crown games,
    			but also including France. 2 pts for a win,
    			1 for a draw (tie), 0 for a loss. Team with
    			most points wins the championship.
    
    NOTE: There is no "World Championship" in Rugby. such a compitition
    would have to include New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Roumania,
    Argentina, Phillipines, and many others that slip my mind at the
    moment.

130.1FRANCE V WALESFNYFS::AUNGIERRene Aungier, Ferney-Voltaire, FranceTue Feb 10 1987 13:2512
    Hi Mike,
    
    The French beat the Welsh by 16 to 9 if memory serves me well. In
    the first half the Welsh lead by 9 to 0 but the French made a good
    come back to win in a good style.
    
    I saw part of the French V Wales match as naturally enough living
    in France this was the main match on television.

        re: .2
    
    	Why isn't Ireland competing?  Is it because of the NZ/South
    Africa affair?
    
    	What happened the US?  They have a national Rugby team of sorts
    (The Eagles).  They are surely at least at the same level as Spain
    or......  I almost said Fiji. How embarassing.
130.4The Sassanachs are mute.GAOV07::MHUGHESI got a mean wriggleThu Feb 12 1987 08:5914
    Leaprechauns are familiar with the second row.
    
    Re .3
    Of Course Ireland is competing. We are in the same group as Wales
    and if we can stifle the wizard Davies, we expect to be there at
    the finish.
    
    Look out Scotland, saturday week, we invade. Your elimination from
    the record books of rugby, as being the recipients of the biggest
    beating in the game at international level, when Ireland beat Roumania,
    is but a tempory respite.
    
    Snake is drumming it up.

    ......and dont bet on Fijii not being able to give a U.S. team a
    run for their money. From what I remember of their tour a few years
    ago, although not up to the European.Aust/NZ level, they showed
    a modicum of promise.

130.6O tempora! O Jesus!WELMTS::MANNIONFri Feb 13 1987 12:049
    England showed a modicum of promise too in the game against Ireland.
    It was half way through the second half when the centres actually
    touched the ball!! Gasp!!! I thought there was a new law which said
    players in white shirts with numbers above 10 weren't allowed to
    touch the ball. Unless your name is Rose, of course.
    
    But the French will feel the backlash. Something like that, anyway.
