Bahrain is not part of the UAE and is a separate country!
That caught my eye too, had to look it up to be 100% sure though!
Mad to see where the Irish rugby talent is coming from theses days. But great to see us at last reaping some benefits from the last few decades of immigration. With Jamie Heaslip hailing from Israel, Jordi Murphy from Spain, Harry McNulty from Bahrain and neither a rugby stronghold.
And John Hayes from Cappamore.
Living in a dreamland you are heaslip isn’t a very Jewish name is it or is Murphy a big name in spain
He ‘headed to Dublin Institute of Technology to pursue a university degree’ eh? Bit of a giveaway in the name!
A DIT degree comes from Trinity College so it’s basically a University Degree as long as the course is a level 8.
Eh I have a level 8 DIT degree, and it certainly does not!
¨Some* courses, like Human Nutrition come from DIT. None of the ones in Aungier St do as far as I’m aware.
Good luck do the lad, I hope he becomes as good as hopes and we see him in an Irish jersey soon.
Very good I’ll get right onto that :) In my defence tho it does look like cillian.
That’s cillian Ansbro holding the rugby ball not who you say it is
The person in the photo is cillian Ansbro
No it’s actually me
Ye look a lot like each other so in that photo
