There are more, but they might not pass your rather arbitrary "wannabe global" test. The point that some seem to be making is that Ireland shouldn't be able to play as an all-Ireland team because that doesn't reflect the current reality of the relevant nation states. Somebody had better tell the English, Scots and Welsh, as by that reckoning they need to pack up and move out as separate teams... Mind you, the eligibility rules laid down by World Rugby are a nonsense anyway, in my opinion; many teams have players from more than one country already, some of whom have already played full internationals for another.
