Ormond - Rugby is increasing more because GAA is so much bigger and is already played everywhere in the county so it's impossible for it to grow by much more unless the protestants start playing it.

Dont get uppity as thats what you seem to be getting. Yes sometimes games can go by where backs rarely touch the ball but those games are usually on days where the weather is bad and it would be stupid to risk 10+ metre passes.
Yes games can go by 10mins or so when the backs rarely touch the ball but in that time theyre normally defending and have other roles.
I doubt that story about a game where not 1 outside back touched the ball is true as no matter what weather conditions were there the backs would get plenty of ball due to ball kicked clear to them, teams backs moves etc

Mot getting any more uppity than you do when someone attacks rugby...

As you said yes it can go 10 mins and some teams style their play more on the forwards so it can happen quite a lot. A club level with some teams it happens all the time.

Doubt what I said all you want but it's happened at least once and half the under age games we played the winger / full back barely got involved.

Said it on here before played fullback with the age group above me once the day after my debs and got through the game not a bother to me despite not sleeping the night before. i'd last about 15 mins in a gaelic match if i did that.

Comparing a club(by club i mean shannon, nenagh, monivea) to an intercounty GAA team is unfair and not a valid comparison as it is the top team of the very best players in a county compared to the top side in 1 club

I was comparing professional clubs not local clubs.

you hardly need alot of fitness to stand watching guys mill into each other and take the ball that pops out and throw it behind you,if thats your idea of being heavily involved in something.
soccer has the most clubs in limerick then gaa then rugby.

vodafone have a gaa pull out every tuesday in the herald the same as rugby has on friday and soccer on a monday i think its very evenly spread the schools and colleges coverage.i dont even know a person who goes to rugby matches to support leinster or goes to the pub to watch them in heineken cup,rugby ionly exists in pockets of dublin at the moment
But rugby is increasing in popularity in areas where it did not do well at all in the past which is all it can do and that can only be good

not in dublin its not,it still only exists in pockets like it did before

have to agree with betty gaa has grown far more on the southside then rugby has grown in any other areas outside of d4.
crokes are a realtivly new club in existance and look what they have achieved ballyboden have become a kingpin in hurling winning 4 in a row and cuala and crokes now contest the hurling final this year in a novel pairing.st judes and tempelogue both from formaly heavy rugby areas are now div 1 clubs and both are likely to be in the last 8 of the football champo.while skerries has seen their man lift the sam for dublin last year

That is a very ignorant/arrogant view of rugby.
Rugby is the game of Limerick City.
How many GAA/Soccer clubs is there in the city?
There is a lot of soccer clubs but most have 1 and maybe 2 teams. Every rugby club has at least 2 and all the senior clubs have 3.

rugby isnt exactly d4 in dublin. Its as much a slang word(used ott here) to describe some people.
rugby is getting bigger. its not monstrous at all but too many of ye are totally ignorant of how strong the sport is and it is only getting bigger and stronger
dublin GAA did something very clever a while back and created some "super clubs" that are very big and take from some big population areas.

it exists in pockets in dublin not throughout the county.its not getting bigger in dublin in terms of being played throughout the county.leinster dont have a support base in dublin outside of d4.
theres more badminton clubs in dublin then rugby clubs.
tallaght consists of thomas davis,st marks, st annes,st kevins.
the area i am from on the northside has raheny,trinity gaels,naomh barrog,st monicas,o tooles,na dubh gall and innis fails all in the same size area that kilmacud crokes or ballyboden pick from but both crokes and boden have 3 and 4 teams for every age group from under 9 to adult level so it evens it out.

Rugby is growing very quickly in Tallaght with a great club there, Leinster recently played a match in the Tallaght stadium this would have been unimaginable 10 years ago.

ormand i dont think you realize how small rugby still is in most areas. county louth has what 3 clubs? that hasn't exactly grown in numbers since the "rugby boom" my beloved navan still only has one o it's not like it's getting any bigger in most areas in terms of numbers.

balbriggan despite having millions to get top class facilities and bribe senior players into the club still can't attract big numbers at underage level.
i don't really see any growth in these areas.

how can you disagree with hill, he has clearly shown how there are more gaa and soccer clubs in limerick that rugby yet everyone goes on as if it's rugby country. i myself would think of it as a hurling county.

That is not fair. Tallaght has a lot going for it and like any area has its pockets of problem areas. Pity though as that game would have set the area back years.

If you are going to totally analyse my posts spell my username correct as with your consistent spelling of my username wrong you seem arrogant/ignorant
Numbers have mainly increased at underage level(and only now are numbers starting to increase at adult level) and while rugby will never reach the level of a club in every parish like the GAA numbers are increasing
You are crazy if you think Limerick isnt anything but rugby country. the sport dominates the city.
Limerick isnt hurling dominated. Its rugby.

Bettystown - You're either wumming or just oblivious, but now that it's been pointed out - spell Ormond's name correctly. It seems to be a source of considerable annoyance that you do otherwise.

Ormond, Don't be too quick to judge. Your grammer is pretty poor, but nobody sees the need to correct you. I can understand everything you write. Therefore the grammer doesn't need to be any better than it is.

Play nicely now!
