Is there any Irish lads playing for Connacht these days?

Very strong UCD representation

Is there any Irish lads playing for Ireland will be the pertinent question in 2-3 years

How many games have they played for UCD between the lot of them do you know?

I’d hazard a guess at zero

Fair enough for the lads that played underage or even colleges with those clubs, but why is CJ Stander Shannon or Bundee Aki Galwegians? Whats the point of that? cc @gilgamboa

I’d say you have to be a paid up member of a club to be allowed wear the Ireland jersey.

They are all assigned a club. The odd time you would see them playing an AIL game if they needed a run out. Havent seen either of those lads involved with a club. Christian cullen played a few games with Midelton is about most high profile example off top of my head.

Fagan might be onto something as well in that it might be a technicality point

Is there some sort of raffle? €10 a club get your name on an international player

I think you are being facetious

I’m no shit eater

Didnt Contemponi line out for Carlow?
