      London Irish boss Declan Kidney said: “Danilo will be a welcome presence in our pack and will bring with him a wealth of international experience at only 24-years-old. We are very much looking forward to working with him at Hazelwood this summer and he is a welcome addition to our squad.”

      Fischetti added: “I can’t wait to get started at London Irish. After speaking to Declan, I knew that the ambitions of the club match that of my own. I’m looking forward to contributing as much as I can to drive the team up the league table.”

      Rassie Erasmus wades into heated debate over Jaden Hendrikse antics

      The information regarding the breaking of electoral law was of course taken from public judgements and reports by the UK Electoral Commission. The Leave campaign cheated to the effect of £1 million in the last week. They were slapped a £20k fine.


      Arron Banks, who was on the brink of bankrupcy, could not explain where his UK company got the £8 million donated to UKIP and Leave.EU It came from a foreign company via Banks Isle of Man company. You fasc1sts throw around the term ‘Traitor’ a lot but how is undermining a democratic vote with foreign money not treasonous?


      Vikings: Brian Boru beat them at battle of Clontarf in 1014.

      Normans: English fell in 1066. They capitulated and have been sucking aristocratic c**k ever since. Normans were subsumed into Gaelic culture. Thomond as you will know (or not, youre an idiot) from rugby was a temporary Norman earldom reverting to the Gaelic Theas Mumha. See also Ormond and Desmond, you moron.

      Catholic Church: The English completely capitulated to Rome. In the Sinod of Lindisfarne Ireland declared they would stay independent. That was the reason the Normans invaded apparently due to a Papal Bull (you complete moron).

      English/British: It took Tens of thousands of Saxon soldiers to take Ireland and you were never able to hold it properly or subdue the population. That is what morons like you hare us. There has been a rebellion every generation. We kicked you out in 1921 after a two year war. That began the disintegration of the British empire. While we were in the UK other nations and ordinary English people did get the benefit of Irish agitation outside and inside parliament re land, human rights etc.


      The best outcome had to have been the disintegration of the British Empire. The most paras1tic the world has ever seen.
