GAA made big mistake opening Croke Park to 'cuckoo' rugby

Ten years after the GAA first opened its gates to rugby, John Arnold, an opponent to Rule 42 amendment, says the move was a tactical error that will haunt the GAA.

Seán Kelly outlined in his book how he changed the seating plan in 2005 to swing the vote in his favour. It reminded me of how Tadhg Kennelly wrote about how he went out to hit Nicholas Murphy in the 2009 football final. It was bad enough that he hit him in the first place but, like Kelly, he felt it was necessary to double the injury.
