I think an Ah You living and embracing the culture of Ireland is more Irish than the Hagan's who have moved to Australia or the Hoolihans of West Texas

Agreed on the general point. I don't like this residency ruling at all.
One thing I will say though is that Ah You appears to be committed to Connacht having extended his stay a couple of times already but I'd still prefer if international rugby was between players from Country A and Country B. Otherwise it is little more than an extension to the professional club game.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Mick "the diver" McCarthy out of Emerging Ireland trip, must have hurt himself attempting a triple Salco.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Wrong thread langball.
Look Baggy I know you are pushing on old boy but this is really very sloppy by the standards you have set for yourself. You've been helped.
