Leinster v Munster
While not a fan of either, or indeed rugby itself, the hilarity of Leinster losing so dismally must be noted. My personal favourite is the story of the Munster team coming out of the club to the cheers of their fans. When their wives and girlfriends followed a Munster wag commented “Oh look, here comes the Leinster team”. tee hee.

I saw Peter Stringer outside my local post office yesterday signing auto graphs for the kids from the National School across the road. Ever seen Brian O’Driscoll outside your post office?

Really, do Irish parents want some seedy Tory-boy English pimp with a bleached mullet coming after their kids?

Hey, how dare you denigrate Munster wives by comparing us to the Leinster team – did you not hear us?

You’re a Leinster woman yourself for heaven’s sake. Anyone else think it is suspicious that Contempomi (suffering from food poisoning on the day) was served by a Munster waiter the night before (Frank O’Sullivan of Beara Co Cork).

The Plain People Of Ireland:
There’s a very bad type of person going around here now that wasn’t known in our father’s day.
Myself:
Ay indeed.
Pater:
Tonight’s reading of his schedule to his latest revision to the proposed amendments to the Vicar Of Bray (observation) Amendment in the matter of the north-east Meath constituency, third seat or second if the weather’s bad and the lads are out in the cars will be read by the Sainted Garrett.

Moderately blessed be parts of his name.
The Plain People Of Ireland:
Another day gone and no jokes.
Myself:
Yes, curse you.

Why does Paul O Connell sleep with the lights on?………………………………………………….
Cause even the dark is afraid of him.
Leinster by birth, Munster by choice.

With all this good rugby wit it reminded me of when I explained the game to my daughter some years ago. See my blog today.
