Message: <blockquote data-quote="Prestwick" data-source="post: 89522">Maybe it might be best if the game in Ireland went pro. The extra money would prevent Irish players being poached by AFL sides down under and would at least make sure that the IR series stays as a once a year extravaganza?Actually the GAA whinging about transport costs is silly. They only travel down under every other year! Its not as bad as say the IRFU who have to do a hell of a lot more galloping around the world than the GAA. Maybe the GAA could ringfence the cash they'll make out of hosting Rugby internationals at Croke Park towards paying for decent flights down under? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
