Glasgow coach David Rennie taking over from Michael Cheika as coach of the Qantas Wallabies.
Wow. That’s an unbelievable coincidence. Out of all the rugby playing nations in Europe how come we seem to always end up playing teams from the same two or three?

According to Wikipedia, there are 47 member unions of Rugby Europe, which is the administrative body which oversees the running of rugby union in Europe. It seems that the Irish rugby team mainly play competitive games against the UK provinces, France and Italy, as the top revenue generating competitions are populated with teams from those 6 regions, in what to an outsider may resemble an old boys club. The club game seems to follow the same pattern.
I don’t remember the last time that Ireland played Cyprus or Norway; imagine the horseplay that could ensue on a trip to Nicosia.
