Thinking the exact same, think it reflects a smidgeon of Irish inferiority complex on a global scale...tbf we've come a long way confidence/psyche wise being helped by Houghton '88, Bonnar et al' 90, various Eurovision succeses, property prices early noughties etc but there's always a bit of background noise hindering us...you look at our football style, our excessive drinking habits, our lack of emotional literacy compared to say the European norm...there's still an innate sense of 'ah sure we're on the outskirts'...and tbf you can't deny the cultural difference of being born in a country like Italy or the UK for example where they were once world leaders, that confidence is in their national psyche and genes imo and undeniably affects thinking and behaviour...i think the answer is to stop subconsciously comparing ourselves to bigger more powerful nations etc but rather embrace our natural strengths of saints, scholars, warriors, poets, story tellers, humour and innate sense of I don't give a fuck and probably stop over analysing random comments too🤷‍♂️

[@jeffrey89095]

See lots of comments saying Ireland are a big team. Worth noting that despite that being true it's a small sport here. It's our 4th sport so even when our playing numbers are similar most other small countries it's not that remote a sport there.

What are the other three sports that are ahead of rugby?

[@jeffrey89095]

@@theephraimite no problems! So football, Gaelic football and Hurling but I've actually just checked and it appears golf is alap ahead so its 5th! GAA is huge here I think Gaelic football may even be bigger than football

[@jamesconnell8478]

@@jeffrey89095 it’s a bit misleading tho, There’s certainly more of a national interest in rugby that football, you just have to look at attendance figures for that and even what the provinces can provide. There’s a stigma that rugby is a very dangerous game (based in truth unfortunately) and that really discourages a lot of parents letting their younger kids play rugby as opposed to football or GAA. As for golf, maybe it’s considered more popular as it has a wider age bracket including those who have retired but otherwise rugby is easily more popular than that. I would confidently say Ireland’s 3rd sport is rugby simply due to attendance figures and some people blatantly refusing to play it because of their size.

[@jeffrey89095]

@@jamesconnell8478 so the sports are listed by senior adult players which is the fairest way of assessing a sports popularity. I'd disagree strongly on football it's the most popular sport in Ireland and the only competitor is Gaelic football hurling isnt even close. It's harder to measure interest in football here when so many support foreign clubs. But even playing numbers wise it isnt close. Outside of urban areas of limerick cork and south dublin rugby is very much a minority sport. I'm saying this as a person whos played since they were 7

I think it’s more about the fact that ireland punch well above our weight in rugby. Your hard pressed to find people in Ireland that are genuinely interested in rugby. One of the big problems in ireland is that lack of interest so there’s not a lot of knowledge being circulated if you get me? Like you learn as you go and there’s not a lot of places you can go outside of a club to spread knowledge in contrast to football where everyone lives and breaths it and constantly dissecting the game which is a huge help to young footballers opposed to rugby players that pretty much learn the game in there teenage years. Majority of people start the sport around then aswell.

I’m not a huge football fan but In fairness to them it’s hard to develop good players when there’s no development system. Irish rugby on the other hand has really good development systems. You usually start to get brought into Leinster and the other provinces around 13/14. Strangely enough most of the top young Irish guys I played against in school weren’t the best players on the pitch, they just became unreal as a result of the Irish player development programmes.

@Marc good for them. I dont support England so doesnt bother me

Japan are a very good team, could maybe win the six nations

Why didnt Ireland win 1 world cup🤣

[@moes786121]

But still can't do well at world cups

[@ajhennessy6987]

@Colm Rich people forget that was the same team that beat the Springboks the world cup before that. Japan are a top quality team

[@ajhennessy6987]

@Colm Rich possibly yeah, our problem has always been squad depth and fitness but I believe a fully fit squad would do so business in a world cup!

[@husky701sm6]

That Springboke team were playing shite for a few years but look what they did when they got things sorted.

including wales when wales is a smaller in size, population and registered rugby players. ok.

[@XxRemixerzxX]

@Marc that's not a revelant statistic, Ireland still has more registered rugby players so in theory they should have more talented players to pick from than Wales do so it's Wales who is the underdog here

[@XxRemixerzxX]

@Marc if you have paid any attention to any recent news (which it appears you have not) ireland did not win the six nations this year, or last year, or the year before that. World rankings have little to no relevancy to determine how good a team is.

[@XxRemixerzxX]

@Marc Its one of the smaller rugby player pools in comparison to almost every other rugby nations so yeah it is a smaller team
