Free GAA stadium upgrades across the land.

With wifi, corporate boxes and fanzones. It will be magnificent.

This is no surprise . The Rugby Union has always been a true friend of Irish rugby . In 1973 England played in Dublin when Wales and Scotland refused in 1972. No doubt @GeoffreyBoycott will have greater insight in to this great friendship .

Great to see Bono and Sir Bob’s hard work paying off on the mainland.

The forum is a bit quiet these days, any interest in a bit of debate on this? Seems to be gathering momentum in recent weeks.

I’m sure this would please patrons of this forum no end to see this noble tournament come to these shores, but the buzz around this thing does seem to be growing a wee bit. Is it really a possibility? Obviously its no an option without the GAA’s involvement, but in the end money talks and the GAA wouldn’t be adverse to turning down a few quid you’d imagine, especially with reports coming in about County Boards and Clubs in precarious positions.

Of course you’d have issues regarding accommodation and transport but lets be honest, New Zealand is no picnic in this regard either. I read somewhere recently a piece about the numbers and attendances at the games, and you’d imagine the country could easily manage what NZ took on.

Like I said, it does all hinge on the GAA for the most part, but is this really as ridiculous as it may once have sounded?

The Muldoons and @Tim_Riggins will be seething.

McHale Park is going to look like the San Siro or the Bernabeau when they finish renovating it. Tremendous news.

Going to be a big anti climax if we don’t get to host it now.

[TreatyStones]

Some tremendous tactical re-positioning going on this morning.
