Could Brexit derail Ireland’s bid for Rugby World Cup?

There are only a few months left for World Rugby to ponder its options when it comes to the 2023 tournament, writes Michael Moynihan.

You wouldn’t identify the Tories under Theresa May as subversive satirists, but I have to applaud their choice James Brokenshire as Northern Secretary, or at least his name.

Appointing someone whose name means Fractured Administrative Subdivision to oversee Brexit in Northern Ireland — hard borders, border posts and all — is a masterstroke worthy of Jonathan Swift.
