Valid points Tomas - I never liked the Welsh (rugby lot). However, we the Irish rugby fraternity are not entirely blameless. First the IRFU has treated the CL...

I expect the The Celtic League to review and to go back to the WRU with their own proposal....all toys will be back in the pram within two weeks. It will cost...
Sorry lads but while i can agree that the WRU weren't exactly open and honest about the powergen cup thing, the IRFU reaction is hypocritical in the extreme....
This looks like a bluff to me. There are already 12 teams in the premiership and bringing in the welsh clubs would mean expanding it to a 16 team league. The...
