IRFU plan for future a fruitless exercise

YOU ask a girl to your graduation ball, buy her a ticket, give her a reason to get tarted and tanned, present her with posh chocolates and an orchid, tell her she looks amazing, buy her five bottles of Ritz ... then she cops off with someone else.

A traumatic experience, believe me, and one the Irish clubs can relate to after their scandalous treatment at the hands of the IRFU.

The union power-brokers all got to the ball through their club associations and now they turn around and abandon the people that put them in their positions of power.
