Do you remember Ireland team captained by BOD beating NZ? Do you remember BOD lifting the Webb-Ellis trophy?

Sadly No

Do you remember that time when BOD smashed POC in the tackle. In BOD we trust.

First is possible, second unlikely... are you trolling or should we be more annoyed?

So?

I am going to blow up the GPO and then kill some women and bury them in the Wicklow mountains but when I get caught and tell the judge why I did it I will be let off with a warning and a packet of pocket tissues.

Do you remember that time when BOD jinked in on the touchline to score against Wales. In BOD we trust.

Ireland are definitely suffering from the fact that he is/was so good for so long. We really have 3 top domestic sides to choose a 13 from. Munster have had imports and Ulster have had Trimble but he probably was happy enough to switch to the wing cos he fancied playing for Ireland.
Last few years a few others have broken onto the scene, but getting a run at the top level consistently is what is required to make the step up.

BOD's recent hiatus is good for Irish rugby as painful as his absence is.

Does anyone think he will be around for the next Lions tour?
I can't see him being in the first XV myself but he would be a great talisman for the tourists.

Do you remember when BOD performed an amazing one handed pick up at full tilt to score against NZ in 2010. In BOD we trust.

The dummy to fool Dennis Hickie was nice too.

Yip, he has said that he REALLY wants to win a Lions tour, he is basically aiming towards 2013 as a last hurrah. He wouldn't make the test team on recent form but who am I to write him off? We were debating his place in the Irish team in 2008 after an indifferent 18 months and he went on to have an amazing season before the SA tour.

It is hard to imagine when he will not be coming back in. I love BOD. If he ran for Taoiseach, id vote for him.

Certainly could not do any worse. Well spoken, presentable, and has already been an embassador of sorts for Ireland. Wouldn't take any nonsense form the French either

He was indeed a God on that tour, I would love him to find his form again.
I fear he will not

We should retire the no 13 jersey, followed by a week of national mourning

Or you should all grow the fuck up.

Yes, or you should grow a sense of humour

I shall be planting a single rose upside down in his honor.

Who is Ulster's 13?

POC got revenge when he kneed him in the head a couple of years back. He nearly fucking took his head off.

About 30 seconds in. Not in this vid but Drico got up, wobbled, and fell over.

Beware the traitor in the camp. It's like Dev and Collins all over again

Willie faloon in hating Mexicans shocker.

That would be nice re the Lions. The plucky wee lad deserves more than his solitary win in a Lions jersey.

Oi, Shackle dragger! Kindly refrain from using our team to troll the paddies. Talk about your own shower of shit instead.

I recovered from Maurice Field retiring and I have no doubt I shall also recover from O'Driscoll retiring.

Made this on a very slow day last summer, he's been rather good over the years. Think I'll go have a wank.

Fuck off, I do whatever I please

Except troll the paddies about their lack of success against the wallabies?

So you need to be in a side that beats NZ and wins the RWC to be regarded as a great player?

You're a fucking dribbling moron.

Not the cleverest of fellows is our Trance.

Funny how the goal posts have shifted now that NZ's current crop of great players are world champions.

Chippy and dumb.

Congrats.

Get a fucking sense of humour you dour moron.

You guys should have a crack at us at the moment. I reckon on our current poor form you might take us.

Not everyone can be an entrepreneur like you eh Mitty.

Yeah yeah you beat us when we were missing our best forward and when our pack played their worst game of the year. You played very well no doubt but next time we meet, it'll be a different story I reckon.

How so? Are you, perhaps, trying to deny that the all too common argument that how McAwe, Carter, Henry, et al, could not be considered great as they had not won a world cup was ever postulated on Planet Rugby?

BOD and Shane will be able to reminisce about the year they won the World Player of the Year awards.

McAwe and Carter are widely considered all time greats, and have been for a while. You'd have to search hard to find a rugby fan to deny that.

Methinks you swallowed a troll and carry it around like a bitter fool reinforcing a common stereotype. Would you consider, say, Stephen Donald an all time great?

Will Tim Horan be playing?
