a little bit but not alot really and we do have Irelands Call as a joint anthem as well. I think only hard line loyalist types would have an issue with it tbh

well IMO it's easier if they are two seperate teams to avoid the trouble.. gives other players a chance that way if their was 1 team their would be limited chances for players to make the team.

maybe so but it would still be a better team with more of choice of players

Don't think it would make much of a difference.. some players that play for Northern Ireland and some that play for Ireland wouldn't play for an All Ireland football team for a start.

I think you're wrong actually. I don't know anyone here who had an issue with there being 1 rugby team (bar a couple who had a minor issue with the anthem but I stress minor ) I don't see why you think people would be so against it. We're all Irish after all.

it's two separate country's... it would make no sense being 1 team in the first place.. it's almost like saying Scotland and England should be 1 team.. people who are born in Northern Ireland are proud to play for Northern Ireland and people who are born in ROI are proud to play for ROI.. I am pretty sure they wouldn't want to represent another country... the team Chemistry would be pretty ****ed up as well considering you'd have a load of players that hate each other playing for the same team, Kyle Lafferty & McGeady in the same team... that would be fun.

No it wouldn't be like Scotland and England playing as one team at all at all We were one country in case you forgot, we are all Irish and again it wasn't a problem for anyone to have 1 rugby team.
