Look what we won Eddie!

Ireland and Munster lock Donnacha O’Callaghan has insisted that Ireland can defy the odds and win a second successive six nations grand slam this weekend, despite having already lost to France.

The 'Grand slam' is a phrase that has traditionally been used when one of the tournament’s teams wins the championship by completing a clean sweep of victories.

Ireland’s 33-10 defeat to France in Paris would appear to have made a slam impossible to achieve for Declan Kidney’s men but O’Callaghan is staying positive.

“I tink we can definitely win de slam,” grunted O’Callaghan. “It’s all about believing in yourself, being freakishly large and running into lads.

When asked about the minor matter of not having won every game, the Corkman had no patience for such trivial details.

“Dat’s only negative thinking. We have no time for dat. Munster, eh I mean Ireland, are winners and we want to win again. Because winners win. Winningly.”

Despite the forward’s confidence, Ireland’s most likely goal this weekend will be the Triple Crown – the Carling Cup of rugby trophies – which is given to to any of the ‘home nations’ of Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales who manage to beat the other three.

Ireland’s spoofer ex-manager Eddie O’Sullivan did his best to hype up the significance of the crown, mostly as it was the only thing he managed to win, but the discerning Rugby fan is well aware that a trophy for beating 3 out of 5 teams is not all it’s cracked up to be.

With the arrogant frenchies on course to lift the championship, the only other consolation for Irish rugby fans is that England are still quite shit and considerably worse than us. Which never gets old. Ever.
