This is GAA country: Come on in Sky

For a while there I was worried about those IRFU ads telling me that I lived in ‘rugby country.’ All those good looking people with faraway looks on their faces, standing around in pubs and on trawlers? No cauliflower ears or concussion? Were these my fellow citizens?

I even raised concern within Croke Park about the huge rugby ad that sits on the bridge outside the stadium. Rugby country was getting too close for comfort.

I now know that ‘rugby country’ just was wishful thinking by the chaps. The trawler men and the drinkers were taking a break from watching the Heineken Cup on pay-per-view and getting back to arguing about the GAA.
