@hfdnvfdeyh@el__pollo__loco@Caolan_Scully Leinster and Irish rugby is doing amazingly well to compete with the big and populous rugby nations. Rugby is a small sport in Ireland, played by very few. Well below GAA sports gaelic football & hurling, also soccer is very popular. Rugby is well done the list in 4th place.
@hfdnvfdeyh@el__pollo__loco@Caolan_Scully French clubs can register a up to 13 non-JIFF (overseas) players in their squads. French TOP14 clubs are the wealthiest in Europe, can sign lots of foreign players to supplement French talent. Foreigners can became JIFF qualified if sign at 18. Then 3 yrs to qualify for France.
@hfdnvfdeyh@el__pollo__loco@Caolan_Scully Not necessarily. Irish rugby provinces are limited to 3 Non-Irish Qualified players in their squads, governed by position-specific guidelines to protect the pathways for homegrown and Irish-qualified talent. RG Snyman, Rieko Ioane & Rabah Slimani the 3 @ Leinster.
@leerees2002@WalesRugby@Steffan_Thomas1 Sad that Welsh rugby can’t manage itself, and has to resort to resort to being a province of England, bowing down to massage its buttocks.
@Missilepanda What are you upset about? Ben Healy is Irish 🇮🇪, a Munster man. He took a big purse to play for Edinburgh with a promise of Scotland caps. No other reason except money and because he’s wasn’t getting game time at Munster… all possible because he has a Scottish granny.
@MatthewLis97864@paddyb53 It’s Ireland 🇮🇪 or the Republic of Ireland (if needing to distinguish with Northern Ireland). Ireland is the constitutional name of the 4/5’s sovereign independent part of the island.
@CapitanTed@IrishTimes Leinster have zero British Lions. Think of what you posted for a moment. Leinster is located in Ireland 🇮🇪 (the sovereign independent country of Ireland). It is not part of the UK/Britain.. hence the name British & Irish Lions. Christ almighty, basic knowledge, not difficult.
@JayinKyiv Cop on to yourself. Ireland 🇮🇪 has taken in 100,000 Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war.. more per capita than any other country in the world. We’re a small country of 5.3mill ppl. We have a massive housing crisis here.. post the 2008 financial crash. While also providing funding
@dannykinane@swilkinsonbc No he wouldn’t. If you were aware of his background you’d realise you just made an absolute fool of yourself. Guessing you’re not Irish, but an Israeli bot.
