Completely agree. Instead of a sponsor we should have "Fock off boggers" emblazoned (in the most eye watering day glo we can find) across the front.
I'm sure Leo Cullen, Jamie Heaslip, Gordon D'Arcy, both Kearneys, Sean O'Brien etc would love that one. Tell you what next time you're near Sean O'Brien maybe mention it. I'd say you'd get a free bag of spuds.

That was a joke, I think I might have to start putting (notsrs) when I'm joking if people cant tell the difference between jokes and serious posts.

Saw on boards, BLKSports are going to be doing the Ireland kit in 2014/15.

They are doing Connacht next season.

Jesus, BLK??? Slipped down the rankings and now this.....
Why couldn't we approach Kukri? They do a nice job.

Just saw this now. Is that some kind of modern young slang for dirty sex things that weren't even invented when I was young and single? Whatever it is I think I'm glad.

I'd be interested to hear you expand on what you think it meant,

We had O'Neill's in college for rugby, they were awful, looked like awful GAA jerseys and they had very few templates/scope for improving the design. They didn't wear, or wash well.

Apparently BLK had the biggest supply of used Coke bottles, so they won the contract.

Convincing athletes to dress themselves in plastic has to be one of the biggest con jobs of the century.

Maybe but generally the quality of rugby gear is better than that of soccer or GAA stuff and does seem to work well in terms of quick drying/wick away. I do a lot of cycling out and about and would be regular down the gym quite a lot in the week and have found modern rugby gear to be of a better standard than most normal sports stuff which seems to fall to bits on me after a few uses. Maybe it's just me.

Is your workout like something from Beyond the Thunderdome? Most of us just go for a run and throw a few weights around.

How long ago were you in college? I'm assuming things have improved since O'Neills are the providers for Harlequins, Cork Con and 45 other rugby clubs as well as 50 rugby league sides. Full list here: http://www.oneills.com/shop-by-team/rug ... union.html

We had O'Neill's from 2005 - 2007. The quality and design was poor then, why would I go back to them, or encourage other teams to do so?

Maybe because that was 8 years ago and surely there is a chance things might have improved? Besides, with due respect, I doubt O'Neills will be pitching to a brand like Ireland with the run of the mill stuff they dole out to GAA clubs and college teams

Quins gear seems nice
