Italian rugby fans travelling to Dublin
OK the Irish Vs Italy rugby game is not going to take place this weekend . But most or all Italian fans would have booked flights and hotels in Dublin before the game was cancelled . My point is what is to stop these fans from travelling to Dublin for the weekend anyway ?

Re: The co - commentator in the Wales V Italy game
Can people genuinely not tell the difference between Aussie and Kiwi acents? As a Kiwi I can tell in a second. Native speakers will be like the young SS officer in Inglourious Basterds. But I wouldn't expect those outside to pick it except in the more extreme versions, maybe. A Yank wouldn't have a...

No Corkman in the Irish rugby team
There is no Corkman in the Irish rugby team to play Scotland on Saturday and only one Limerick man and he can be considered lucky to get the start
There has always been at least a few Limerick players and Cork players on an Irish rugby team for as long as I can remember
What is going on ?
