    He looks like he could play anywhere in the backline. Center most probably.

    If one of FF, FG or Labour set 'Getting Declan O'Donnell an Irish passport' as their top priority they would get my vote instantly!

    Meh.

    He was holding the ball in the wrong hand for the first try. For crying out loud these guys aren't even taught the basics...

    Now where are those Russians with their Irish passport making machine

    No he wasn't.

    Ball is in his right hand all the way to where Norton is within range of a hand off. To which is transfers the ball to his left fends with his right and switches back in quick succession.

    Each time he moved the ball in the furthest position away from Norton.

    Perfect technique.

    The good news about emigration just doesn't stop, eh?

    Plenty more Declans to be lost to these shores.

    Not much point in getting him a passport when he can't play for us..

    That and he's entitled to an Irish passport by birth.

    Dear NZRFU, you seem to basically tell the IRB what you want and they just take it, so we're willing to swap 1 Isa Nacewa for 1 Declan O'Donnell. Yours, Ireland.
