What would have happened if...

but the problem is we are not competing on a domestic level whatsoever and right now your average kid on the street would rather meet Brian O'Driscoll and Paul O'Connell than Richard Dunne and Robbie Keane. This is the lowest ebb in national soccer since Jack. But I do agree, if we were good at both Soccer would have the upper hand, absolutely no doubt about it atall. But right now....amongst the masses(sheep).......

Dont be so bloody stupid. !

That excuse is not acceptable, the olympic team is an all irish team and they play amhrain na bhfiann at that, if rory best doesnt like it he can foock off back to his plantated land up north...the fact of the matter is if he feels that stonrgly go play Rugby for England like Bracken, or that ***** joyce did with the cricket. I wont recognise any team as representing me when they forsake the national anthem..Rugars are a different breed of folk
