Our Pumas?

Yes indeed. Those are our Pumas! Or at least they will be. From next year(thats 2010, foo!) our Six Nations champions will defend their title wearing in Puma gear. No national team that I know of is currently supplied by Ze Germanz but French club Biarritz are and they look alright. This is good on several fronts. The ugly template(Us, Scots, Sprinboks, Aussies) Canterbury use to will be a thing of the past and secondly if you liked it.....it will be cheap CHEAP. Saw them in Maher's of Cork for only 35 sheets. Get in there!
This is a positive move on the IRFU's part who, like Munster, are awaking to the possiblities offered by a sportswear brand thats doing good things right now. Canterbury need a serious shake up after their failed attempt at 'edginess'. Its pretty pathetic for Canterbury Of New Zealand to not be able to have their national team wear their tat.

The few readers of this blog(thank you) have asked me on nights out where have I gone and where is Spurting Ireland going? Well........I'm back and subsequently is Spurting Ireland. Lots to catch up on :D
2009 has so far been an excellent year for Irish spurt with, in case you hadn't noticed, a GRAND-FREAKING SLAM in the Six Nations. Quite the title. Still talking pigskin, Munster continue to rampage in the Heineken Cup with, yesterday, a 43-9 curbstomping of the Ospreys. This sets up a dream(for Munster fans) tie with eternal women *ahem* rivals Leinster at Croke Park. I laughed when Brent Pope, usually correct bless him, said that there would be no Munster Fans getting tickets at Leinster fans expense. Munster fans are the masters at ticket nabbing and most hardcore fans are registered fans of other teams in the Heineken Cup in a bid to get a ticket. I would also put it out there that there are more Munster fans then real Leinster fans registered at their fan club. My bid to get tickets for this clash has begun and I would loove if some helped :D

Soccer is........not so fun to talk about right now with Trapp's men stumbling over Bulgaria and leaving our chances of going to South Africa in further doubt.

Also, the Cork GAA scandal bullshit is over and good riddance. The player's should be wearing Minor Level sized jerseys to reflect their mental age.

Love life, love Spurt Ireland!
