Good luck to them.

This could be the start of something big for RL in Ireland

When did Limerick become part of England and Wales?

Yeah that's one major floor

surely exceptions can be made for the good of the game...

It would cost a bit after the branding that's been done.

Surely it's worth it - the RFL will come under stick if they decline it.

Move the whole tournament to Aus then

I think this is a great idea. In fact, the RFL should support it by booting an established club out of Super League and give Ireland a franchise. Who cares about rugby in our own country when we can help everybody else?

some of you have some real insecurity issues...

Could be good pr for the game - there could be competitions for the best poetry!

A sport founded by working class men
Was ruined by pretentious snobs when
the board at red hall
confounded them all
..................................

26000 free tickets for the Limerick game if you win ...... nobody else will want them!

It'll never catch on. Nobody wants all the free tickets that Harlequins every week. It would only work if the RFL changed the rules and had different criteria for them. And they wouldn't do that, surely........

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, oh god, my sides are spliting.

Thomond Parks a nice ground, fill the bottom tier, fill them ends, use good camera angles and do a union trick and lie about the attendance. Easy.

We already do that at Millenium Magic.
