Duncan Casey: How much do we really love and appreciate our Irish culture?

Like many Pacific Islanders in his native Auckland, Edgar’s parents moved there in search of a better life for themselves and their families. This is the case for many players of Pacific heritage who now ply their trade in Europe. While I had played alongside Casey Laulala and Francis Saili at Munster, I was largely ignorant of “Islander” culture and what it entailed.

Can you speak any Irish, Duncan?”

“Eh, I can yeah, a bit.”
