Summer 2007
Irish Tour to Argentina.

Our three intrepid supporters finally made it to Santa Fe, Argentina where Ireland played their first test match at Stadio Brigadier General Estanislao home of Colon De Santa Fe.

Thanks to their guide Antonella they were able to blag box seats where they ran into a frequently "tired and emotional" fellow Ulster supporter, Big Bad George.

The definite highlight of the tour was to see so many Ulster players in the match day 22.

The Ulstermen acquitted themselves well on and off the pitch by all accounts.

Despite the distractions of the match the boys were able to enjoy the other sights and sounds during the Santa Fe game.

 

No "cheerleaders" but plenty of promotional girls who seemed to be everywhere.

Despite the last minute defeat our boys still managed to force themselves through a night out in downtown Santa Fe.

Antonella had managed to get invites to the after match reception for the players, but our boys never made it. It appears they were delayed in a few bars on the way.

 

This was maybe the smart move as The FRU are reliably informed that the two Irish "reserve" hookers, Jackman and Flannery brought shame to The Front Row Union with their appalling behaviour.

Jackman was floored by an Argentine Prop after making inappropriate advances to the Prop's wife and a tired and emotional Flannery was floored by an Ireland supporter for being a prick!

As Eddie O'Stunted was dining in the Barbarians restaurant at the time of the incidents it's not known if appropriate action will be taken against the miscreants.

Goodness knows what would have been made of these incidents if the Ulster boys had been involved.

On to Buenos Aires (via Brazil and Uruguay) for the second game.

Phat Phil finally arrives and gets stuck into the Argentine equivalent of an Ulster Fry on the morning of the match.

Meet up with the Munster men and enjoy a night on the town despite the crap game.

 

 

Newswatch.

     

Nothing much of note in the news except for poor little Trev who got his sentence reduced.

This reduction appears to be brought about solely by the intervention of Trev's mates who gave him sparkling character references.

Obviously they didn't witness his (allegedly performance enhancing drug induced) assault on a completely innocent supporter.

But sure he once had a pint with Alistair Campbell and he didn't hit him!

The defence rests.

 

See you all in August!
