Ahhhhhhhhh! I read a follow up story to that. The sculptor was very upset at the reaction and spent a whole year improving his skills and made a new better one.

That’s brilliant. As a story, and as an improvement actually.
Sure aren’t they looking to move the pro14 final because it clashes with the champos league?
There are more GAA clubs in Co. Cork than there are rugby clubs in all of Ireland.
More people attended last years ladies All-Ireland final than attended all of the womens world cup competition.
Enough said.
That’s what he is saying though.
Also, more people attended last years ladies all Ireland than attended any womens sporting event anywhere in europe (possibly the world)
Sure isn’t begrudgery our national sport, wha?
national sport in Ireland is moaning.
blushirt sport is dragging dying women through the courts
sweet jesus! It’s just sport ffs! Martin McGuinness was fond of cricket.
Now that’s a stretch. Even for you.
National sport is tribunals, inquiries, anything except police investigations and convictions of the management classes.
The most popular sport in Ireland is the English Premier League.
more Irish people attend premier league matches than hurling, football or rugby matches?
more Irish people watch premier league matches than hurling, football or rugby matches?
I doubt it
but, if so, i’d say that has more to do with television coverage than interest
Considering you need to pay for premier league matches, that would suggest interest rather then nothing else on telly.
But I don’t know. Are we talking about counting the number of people that watch one (or more) match? or counting the number of matches for each person?
yeah, I’d say dav has a man u top and curtains and lampshades….
but does the carpet match the curtains? if you know what I mean?
Did Leinster v Saracens sell out?
I heard it didn’t.
No. did not.
no, good crowd but top deck in the east stand had a few paches of emply seats,. then again the Saracens fans knew what was coming!!! COYBIB!!!
While neither that nor the semi vs Scarlets was a complete sellout, they weren’t far off. They were both more or less full, couple of blocks had capacity left
