Front Five - 04.02.18

Start your day with five eye-catching egg-chasing quotes & links from around the ruggersphere.

So I'm getting on the bus yesterday evening in downtown Dublin when the driver says to me...  

"Got out of jail, eh?"  "I'm sorry???"

He repeats. Awkward silence. Then he points to my Irish Rugby beanie...

"OH....er, yeah big time!"   Twas a cracking day.

Dave Mervyn - The42.ie

”...that was how well we’d trained. Fairness to the guys; they’ve been excellent in the last two weeks.”


Iain Morrison - The Scotsman

"When he struck the drop goal I was just willing it had enough distance to go over."
