Best rugby player from each of the 32 counties

[big mervyn]

Tyrone: Tyrone Howe

Tee hee.

Except his middle name was Ards.

Down - T. Ards Howe.

The problem with a thread like this is that some poor-ish players from some counties will get in, while some excellent players are omitted due to there being several from the same counties.

Wonder if we picked best players from only, Dublin, Belfast and Limerick (and maybe, possibly Galway and/or Cork)

and best player from each of the 32 counties excluding those born in the above named cities.

I suspect the team drawn from the cities would be much better than that from the 32 counties outside of the cities, but there'd be a few cracking players in that latter's side anyway.

I'm open to persuasion I'd be wrong though.

I thought his middle name was Bone
Interesting that Wiki list him as a politician rather than an International rugby player. He hasn't quite made his mark in the political sphere yet.

I didn't know T-Bone was a politician. Wonder has someone mixed him up with another former Ulster winger, Trevor Ringland?

Far as I can see Tyrone is a member of tbe UUP and his political career reached the dizzy heights of a seat on Banbridge Council from 2005-07 when he resigned because of work commitments. Hardly a career politician.
