So after all that fuss, such strong statements of lack of faith and damaging escalation the players now accept that the IRFU were correct and reasonable in their approach, and that there's no issue with their original plan.

Ah well, now to the recommendations.

I just hope the extra million quid doesn't come out of grass roots rugby. That would pay for about 30 CCRO's.

I'd like to think it's partially down to mná na hÉireann not making the cut; as we all know, tis the Irish and their diaspora bring the crowds and the craic!

Brilliant match. Great to see the NZ public supporting the Black Ferns (at last). Hopefully, the other home nations can close the gap over next couple of seasons.
