Northampton are a class side, both on and off the pitch. They'll be prepared for the caldron. I'm betting that Croke Park or not, Leinster will have a bit too much, and I'm sure the team will be ultra focused on their game and not the white noise. As an Ulster fan I'll be supporting the lads in blue to bring it home, but it'll be no 'day in the park' against the Saints.
Lads they'll use croke park as in its a special stadium and every irish persons dream to play there. The occasion, the selecte few rugby players who've played there and so on.
I dont think they'll be using the English/Irish view on it.
Croke Park is probably at the same level [if not more] as Eden Park is to New Zealand with the pressure of not losing rather than winning, even more pressure with an England team playing,
Hopefully, we get a good match like the last 6 nations' game against England in Croke Park
Did the English army murder 14 All Blacks and supporters in Eden park aswell 😅
They're going in all guns blazing to quote one of their players
One part of the show which wasn't talked about, how much money are the GAA going to snag for this, but arent committed to offering it up along with the othe gaa stadiums for a rugby world cup to be hosted or partially hosted by Ireland
I think Croke Park is seperate to the GAA as an entity
Give it rest .
It's 100 mtrs long with rugby posts at both ends,a longer run off area at both ends and a little wider on either side,these are professional sports men who will adjust to the layout,and as for the historical angle that was all put to bed when England played there for the first time and the pre match whilabeloo about the god save the Queen been played it was played and you could hear a pin drop,times have changed and moved on for the better,it's a game of rugby been played In a great stadium,people talk a lot of bull about emotions and this sort of think,it's leinster V Northampton not celtic V rangers,enjoy the occasion and forget the crap.
A little bit of historical background is no harm at all ...unless you are a real South Dubliner !
will any members of the Leinster squad visit warrington and pay there respects?
The IRA atrocity was committed by a sick group of terrorists totally unrepresentative of the Irish people.
It was a repugnant act of murder completely rejected and deeply regretted by Irish people.
.
No? As Bloody Sunday was state sanctioned terrorism and the other wasn't.
Nice try lad. The difference as pointed out is that 1920 was state sponsored. Brits have far more to answer for than any one nation on planet earth
You cannot compare the murder of 14 innocents at a football game by state sponsored regular army members of the British army with an act of terriorism in Warrington.
This is the exact problem with Brits
It was just a brief 10 minute talk apparently so Northampton wont be weighed down with the full weight of irish history...😁😁😁😁😁
Wasnt all this done back in 2007 with ireland v england,no need to drag it back up again.
Not one member of the current squad was on the 2007 team
@Sineadhawk I'm quite aware,thanks for the reminder.
2007 was special for its own reasons. Croke is still Croke park, a special stadium for the Irish an an honour to play there. Its the biggest stadium in the world to play rugby in.
Yeah lets just ignore history! We talked about it already 🙄
@@BoomsRiddico4868What about Marx ?
for christsakes stop all this bollocks, its a game of rugby not 1916
You must be a graduate of an Irish university ?
Irish people playing the victim is unbearably cringeworthy.
Yawn
The English don't like when history is brought up unless it benefits them. Lads you lot were the SS of the world up to 1933, you have plenty to answer for historically. All that being said its not brought up to bring hate, its brought up because it happened. It would be the same if they wanted to play a football match on the Somme, you wouldnt not bring it up!

Yes they did for 2023 but France was selected ahead of it
A lot of gaelic grounds were offered for the 2023 world cup my friend,you need to check your facts,the new president of the GAA Jarlath Burns is a very modern thinking open minded educated man and I know himself and the highrarchy of the GAA would have no problem opening up it's pitches to facilitate rugby.
@@anthonyhoey6394 didn't hear of that tbh, I remember them not doing it for football though, European cup co hosted with UK countries
@@anthonyhoey6394 which stadiums were offered for rugby 2023???
Pairc ui caoibh,fitzgerald stadium,nowlan pk,pearse stadium,mchale pk,celtic pk in Derry,casement pk in Belfast although it wouldn't have been available in time but the other six were part of the package.
