I saw one of our Irish players greeting what some may say resembled a certain Mr Higgins outside of the Glass House earlier this evening. I wasnt close enough to hear the conversation and could be massively wrong but just thought i'd put it out there.
We’ve two Irish/Northen Irish players. Connell and McCarthy. As far as I am aware neither have any link to Mr Higgins. Forgot about Cotter… still will have only played against Higgins’ teams.
I am sure I read somewhere earlier that he didn’t want the job as he didn’t t want to be apart from his family. Who knows.
That was Irish President Michael Higgins, as a poet himself I heard he is close friend of Ian McMillan, hence the reds connection.
