AC Casting is looking for male rugby players for a new ad campaign. No acting experience needed! Must be comfortable in the front/second row of a scrum. Very nice fee if chosen.
Who we’re after: Guys should be aged 20s-40s. We’re looking for characterful, interesting guys who look like they play a lot of rugby – crooked noses, weather beaten faces are all great.
They should be confident guys, up for a laugh who aren’t camera shy.
They should have a Southern Irish accent, we’re particularly looking for some guys who have a Munster accent.
We’re also looking for a woman aged 55+ so if anyone’s mam/aunt/friend would like to apply with them, let us know.
The casting will be held in Dublin city centre next Wednesday August 30 in the evening so that people can come from work. There will be a possible recall on Friday, September 1 and you would need to be available for the shoot which will be one day on either September 5, 6 or 7.
How to apply: Email auditions@alicoffeycasting

Munster accent? Totes outray like
WTAFupp is a “Munster” accent?
Said she in ascending Cork tones of ire.
The various Cork accents would be a subset of Munster accents, in turn a subset of Southern Irish, I’d imagine
he’s got you there
Munster accents, yes. Not “a Munster accent”.
to be honest, every one of you from outside the M50 sound the same to us
It’s true, yiz boo boos. Though most vestiges of Cork have disappeared from my accent over the years (twasn’t that strong in the first place, though I guess most people think their own accent isn’t strong) and now it’s only blatantly obvious when I’ve had a few scoops.
My Dublin accent is at its best when I’m in a taxi. I’m like a young Ronnie Drew.
Young, right.
“Get yerself a carbon monoxide alarm.”
Ahem.
Quite young actually. Younger than Ronnie Drew (at last count) anyway.
Que? A Munster accent would be one of the Munster accents. It would also be one of the Irish accents.
I’m saying there’s no umbrella Munster accent. Just a collection of accents within Munster. Splitting hairs for no reason.
Cork does fall into the provincial accents category, yes.
*bars door*
GET. YOUR. COAT.
Yeh langer.
One that makes you sound like you were brought up in a kennel
they’re obviously trying to sell cabbage or turnips
Something for worming cattle? Wait no that’s Gaelic football. Rugby adverts are always beer or chelsea tractors.
Or supermacs if you’re in the midlands.
Southern Irish? …where is this place?
the republic of éire… (Best said in a Clipped Pathé News Accent)
Jolly good chaps, jolly good!

Looking for overweight cork lads with terrible faces. Pretty much most of Cork then.
Unlike the rest of the country, where they’re pure lashers.
I have always been rather partial to the Cork boys in my limited experience the Irish male
