I remember Lowe playing for the Maori All Blacks in Limerick and getting destroyed for pace by Darren Sweetnam. Heās done well to rebuild his career
suppose they donāt or they wouldnāt be herd in the first place but I suspect this lad is the nuts
I meant none of the rubby team at all mate.

No, not when it really comes to it, it seems.
If Gibson Park hadnāt been lured to Dublin with a suitcase full of ā¬s Caoilin Blade would probably be getting capped for Ireland this Autumn. Blade came through a small rural club in Galway, comes from a huge sporting family (his uncle died on the field in Kenny Park, Athenry, hurling for Abbeyknockmoy) and it would be a huge boost to rugby in Connacht to see him get capped. Instead itās a Kiwi who will be in Ireland for a few years while the IRFU employ him before he heads back to the far side of the world again. Itās absolutely ridiculous and fairly short-sighted nonsense.

Some of the Irish radio journos are in awe of Paul Kimmage and try their hand at gritty investigative journalism on doping and FIFA corruption. Iād rather listen to the likes of Dalo telling yarns

Fair shout, id say it was an unintended consequence but they probably couldnāt give a fuck beyond filling the aviva and landing sponsors.
Gibson Park isnāt much either
A new Lowe

Sexton to be stripped of the captaincy
Sounds like a Prod
Why does the residency rule keep getting brought up? Itās now 5 years, a more than reasonable stint for anyone. Iād put that well ahead of an English kid with one Irish granny lining out for Ireland because they canāt make the English team. I thought the recent Declan Rice and Jack Grealish fiascos would soften the cough of the Italia 90 cubs.
Lolz
I make no apologises for loving the New Irish who come here for a better life.
Have you heard his first name mate?

I donāt think many have a problem with the residency rule, itās the targeting of professional rugby players to move across the world with a view to picking them to play for Ireland people have an issue with. James Lowe himself describes the rule as ridiculous but as he put it, sometimes you have to park dreams and think of opportunity. When he says opportunity he of course means euros.
The residency rule is fine at 5 years but 2 was a joke
