New Irish Team Rugby Shirt Design

I GOT A COPY of this in my inbox today and I just couldn’t resist publishing it.

For anyone who has been following the Rugby World Cup this year in France you will no doubt be aware of the dreadful performance of the Irish rugby team thus far.

Before the tournament began we were heading in as a team at the peak of their talents and considered a sure fit into the final stages of the competition. That however was just the fiction. The reality was somewhat different.

In their first game Ireland managed to beat Namibia 32-17, but the fact that Namibia managed to score at all is a testament to how badly the Irish team played. In the second game Ireland managed to scrape a win against Georgia, but only just at 14-10. It was embarrasing to watch.

All eyes were on the third game against France, the clash of supposed titans. Unfortunately the only titans on the pitch were the French and they slaughtered Ireland 25-3.

Although there is an outside chance that Ireland can still make it through to the next round (really really outside chance which involves beating Argentina by a huge amount!) the reality is that we will probably get slaughtered again.

So – in keeping with our reputation as being a nation of begrudgers I give you the latest in Irish rugby shirt design
