As an Irish person it's embarrassing to read all these comments of every person whinging and crying about rice "Using" Ireland as a stepping stone..

During the same time, the British stole cultural resources from the countries they ruled and made it their own. English people now have to accept individuals from other ancestral backgrounds in England because it was their fault for ruling these countries centuries ago in the first place. In this era, no matter your ethnic background, if you’re born and bred in the UK with a British passport. Then you are ENGLISH. Skin tone means nothing.

You have to remember English players using Ireland as a fall back position is exactly the same thing NI players do. If they were not good enough for the ROI they would have played for NI. Alan Kernaghan, Darron Gibson, Marc Wilson, Shane Duffy, Paul George, Eunan O'Kane who played for NI at underage etc. Alex Bruce also switched from the ROI to NI - when it looked like he would get more chance of caps for NI at senior level.

Sad to see players will play for Ireland first just in case the don’t make it to the England squad. Wonder how many other players in the Irish squad joined hoping to make the jump to England before being cap tied

imagine hearing his accent and then still getting angry about him switching

Ireland does not need players who want to play for another country.We should only have players who are born in the country or those who have solid connection to the country.
