Are you really comparing lads moving parishes to a fella from the Pacific islands representing Ireland?

Ah bud, this is about Limerick GAA pre 2018 ask balbec or someone to explain it to you. Was very foresighted by Limerick at the time. Hard to believe they waited so long for the next wan
How do you wrangle an argument on nationality into GAA?
Desperation
You might read it again there tim.after going to the effort of quoting it twice, the same question is there both times. Why did they introduce the rule? (There it is a third time, you can quote it again if you like)
I was just chatting with tim riggins. Dont know why its put a flea up your hole
Just keeping you on the straight road
Why did they introduce what rule?
I said sports change their eligibility rules all the time. Rugby have changed theirs a number of times in the last couple of decades. Just like cricket, rugby league, basketball, football and many others. You respond to what your members want.
I love out your ridiculous citizenship follow on is just ignored by you now. 
The project players rule. What members wanted that rule introduced? Presumably Ireland since they use it so often? Citizenship is the obvious way to determine eligibility to represent a country.
Can anyone at all tell me why rugby thought the project players/mercenary rule was a good idea?
Because it’s an easy system to abuse if it was only one year. It’s very simple. It’s amazing you can’t see it. At least at 3 years its the same for everyone.
Three years is too short. The “project player” thing abuses it even more. These aren’t lads who come over to make a living, they are lads specifically targeted and told theyre being lined up to be capped for Ireland. It’s just wrong, but the backers of course, just throw out the racist card at anyone who objects. There’s not a single one of them would play for Ireland if their own country would select them, not one, and its not a correct or honorable way of doing things. It does little benefit in the long run either imho.

In pro 3 years is a huge commitment nowadays. Careers are only going to get shorter too.
Irrelevant, and what about the Irish lads being jettisoned?
