Good. I’d hate for him to retire having been the only Irish player to have done something.

Stringer has 98 caps.

He has 5 caps for the British Lions so I would consider him a centurion.

Am i right in saying he retires having won as many grand slams in his career as Ireland have in their history? A good warrior in his day, not many of his type still left in the sport.

Was any further information released on this?

He was adamant that he wouldn’t be going into the specifics of it in the post-retirement interview I heard. IRFU policy is to respect that apparently.

Jamie Heaslip regards it as a data protection issue, same as any employer shouldn’t release personal information about an employee to the media.

He wrote a blog about it the other day too - argued that health data was personal and that normal rules regarding workplace should apply I.e we’d all be a bit unhappy if our employer gave out any health info on us

He is launching a new blog on GDPR, it promises to be for Data Protection managers what Lovin’ Dublin is for foodies. He is very up to date on these things and you have to say he practices what he preaches.

German Democratic People’s Republic?

Is he a closet Stalinist?

No surprise the basement dweller isn’t aware of these things.

GDPR is a right pain in the fucking ass.

Ain’t that the truth

I’m pretty much an expert on it if you have any questions.
