God 1.IRFU .0.

In 2010 the greed machine that is professional rugby showed its true nature when a match between Munster and Leinster was fixed for Thomond Park on Good Friday ,which as everybody knows is the date when Jesus Christ was crucified for the salvation of humanity.
Not only was disrespectful to the children of God ,which according to the last census 84 per cent of the population claim to be,to have such a match on this Holy Day ,but Good Friday is one of only two days out of the 365 days of the year when pubs are bound to close for the best part of a century.
The greed machine and its vociferous proponents adored their Mamon and insisted that the game go ahead and mounted a campaign to have the drinking laws suspended in Limerick so that the stuck up nobs that follow the game could sate their thirst that most Holy of days and to their eternal shame the ASSOCIATION that represents the publicans backed them to the hilt in pursuit of greedy profits.And a   judge stretched credulity to the limit when he allowed the opening of the pubs for health and safety reasons,thus conjuring up the vision of a rampaging mob of rugby supporters breaking down the doors of the pubs in limerick IN HOT PURSUIT OF AN ALCOHOL FIX which may be accurate
And then we had the Rugby supporters of Munster waving flags and sporting jerseys that Rugby was more popular than Catholicism and denigrating the Mass.
And the mass hysteria that infests both the written and electronic medias sucked up to the professional rugby game and its proponents as though it was a divine gift and as though its over paid players and mostly  Australian and New Zealand coaches were minor Gods themselves.
This coalition of the greedy and delusional talked up Irish Rugby as though they were confirmed world beaters and all they had to do was show up and claim their rightful place as the World's chosen.
 Except they did what a bad horse does when the load is heavy-----it shits on the traces.
And Irish rugby did shit on the traces and not very  graciously either.
I heard a guy called Trevor something sneering at Gaelic Football when he likened the hasty retreat of a rugby referee after some match to what happens in the GAA world and I heard another Star ,a Cork guy with a smart mouth and a similar contempt for the GAA ,sneering at the Junior grade of football in GAA competition,a grade in which I would bet he would not last pissing time.
And there was a guy called Shane who played minor football for Meath in his day on the panel where the latter sneer was made and he made no attempt to correct his rugby buddy.
We know now that these guys are just mouths without anything to back themselves up and we also know that the sneers who belittled God and his flock in Munster very much barked up the wrong tree.
The way Munster are playing now Dunderry Junior C  team would  give them a good run for their money and no amount of talking can change that.
These guys just don't get it .They have denigrated God ,the National Anthem and are doing their best to rugbify the national schools in strong GAA areas to put backbone into a sport that is short of it.
And if the GAA leaders don't wise up to this these greedy schemers will succeed.
God however just waited in the long grass and it is only a matter of time until the greed for handy money pollutes Rugby in the same way that it has besmirched Soccer,Athletics  and cycling to name but a few.
