Louth winning the Leinster Championship surely qualifies as strange happenings in Ireland.

I find Milei utterly fascinating. He shares minimal DNA with Trump - he is far more coherent in approach and properly grounded in economic theory. Looking from outside the Argie tent he seems to have done a remarkable job and, frankly, is proving a template that many other countries could apply to v...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Munster J1 or J2 is the ceiling historically. Never been an AIL club from Kerry.

Player and set up wise, Tralee could certainly have gone senior a couple of times but opted not to chase it as was felt the additional travel cost would cripple the club, but they're a long way short of that these days.
