I'm glad that England have qualified too and what a meeting it would be were they both to make it through to the FINAL!! Naw Ireland could'nt go that far not with Nationwide League players waiting as back-up, could they? Some of those, they say, are not Irish either, imagine it. We'll be giving games to NON_IRISHMEN to play for the cause when we have dozens of true-blue (perhaps green) Paddy's just dying to pull on the colours back home (Well one anyway..whose name escapes me right now!) It is easy to see how people who refuse to accept non native born players as Irish have very little experience of or knowledge of emigration and how the children of emigrants are, very often, reared.
